FMOD Sound Bank, input formats

[golghp]

The best options for mobile or low-spec devices is Vorbis for music and FADPCM for effects.

You’ll need to do two separate banks if you want to support both formats.

There’s no restriction on the number of sounds that can be in a bank.

Our Sound Bank tools can accept any format our runtime can playback. But you’ve already identified that giving it compressed formats will result in decompressions/recompression and signal degradation. There’s no concept of simply re-packing pre-compressed files, it’s infeasible for reasons I won’t go into here.

Thank you Nicholas for your answer.
What I understood then is that importing an already compressed file to the bank and choosing a different compression technique will cause signal degradation and undesirable.
But in the project, the user is importing sound files from a variety of formats, I was thinking of feeding them all to the bank and choose one compression technique (such as MP3) but it seems that this is not a good idea.
Do you have any idea how to manage this? Thank you so much.
