Hi there, Is there a table somewhere giving the exact equivalence of the “quality” percentage parameter for Fmod Studio banks? For example, when I choose “mp3 50%”, what exact bitrate does it equates to? Same for Vorbis. Thanks. ---

Thank you for the answer. In future versions it would be nice to know exactly what one is doing with the compression from the UI though. 🙂 ---

Awesome. Thanks. 🙂 ---

Vorbis has a quality setting -1 to 10, not a bitrate, so fmod’s setting maps pretty much to that. See [http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#quality](http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#quality) MP3 encoding is basically up to 320kbps, so you could roughly just multiply fmods quality setting by 3.2 to get the kbps.
