How to create a fsb3 file?

FMOD Studio
1

Dear FMOD Team,

My name is Aaron, and I’m currently working on a project that requires using audio files in the FSB3 format, compatible with an older version of your FMOD audio engine (FMOD Ex).

I am reaching out to ask how I can create an FSB file in FSB3 format, since the current version of FSBank Studio only appears to generate FSB5 files, which are not supported by the game or engine I am using.

Specifically, I would like to know:

  • Which version of FMOD or FSBank allows generating FSB3 files?
  • What audio formats are best suited or compatible with FSB3 (e.g., PCM, ADPCM, MP3)?
  • Are there any tools or alternative workflows currently available for creating FSB3 soundbanks?

I understand that FSB3 is an outdated format, but for compatibility reasons, this information is essential for my work.

Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Aaron

What version of FMOD is your project using?

I’m using FMOD Studio (the latest version), but I can only create .bank files. If previous versions of FMOD, like FMOD Designer, can create .fsb3 files, can I have access? Can you provide me with previous versions that can generate this type of file? I look forward to your response. Thank you very much for your help.

edit: I need specifically fsb3 files version 3.1, thanks
