My apologies I missed that, to use `Addressables` follow this example:

1. We need to ensure we have defined `UNITY_ADDRESSABLES_EXIST` in the player settings. This can be found under Unity Toolbar → Edit → Project Settings → Player → Other Settings → Script Compilation. You may get some errors in the console but that is fine, they will be solved in the next step.  

2. Import the `Addressable Package` from the Unity `Asset Manager Window` under Unity Toolbar → Window → Package Manager → Unity Registry → Addressables.

1. Assign the FMOD `Text Assets` to `Addressables`, you can do this by selecting them in your `Project Directoy` and ticking the `Addressable` tick box

2. The `Addressables` will want to be loaded into memory `Asyn
3. Now the `Addressables` are ready to be loaded into memory. Create a new script named `LoadAllBanks` and then copy the following example into that script. You can change the name if you like.

> while (numberOfCompletedCallbacks < Banks.Count)

1. In the Inspector window of an object with your script, add the `banks` you wish to load

2. Loading Unity assets are an Asynchronous operation, further explanation can be found in [Unity | Getting started with Addressable Assets](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@0.4/manual/AddressableAssetsGettingStarted.html), so we will need an empty `scene` to load the `banks` then a populated `scene` to play them in. So in your Unity `Build Settings` you will want to have something like this:  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/d/d3b59b6613735d5847b48ee3073009992548dba9.png)  
In the `EmptyScene` is our object that loads our `banks`, then we transition to the `MusicScene` where we will hear our events.

3. Make sure to start the project in the `EmptyScenetoLoadBanks`, now all the assigned `banks` should be loaded

Sorry about the confusion, I hope this helps!
