I am trying to keep my file sizes low. If I exceed 100mb, I need to use another github version. Currently my master.assets.bank file is over 100mb. I made a dummy project and imported all my audio files into that and auto-created new events for each audio file. (many more events than in my original project) and assigned them all to the master bank. I then build banks in the dummy project. I had a look at the dummy projects master.asset.bank and it was about 6 mb. Why the big size difference? I have many more events in the new dummy project and yet it’s master.asset.bank file is much smaller. What can I do to keep the master.asset.bank file small? Thanks ---

The size difference could be due to a different [Compression Format](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#compression-format). The simplest way to reduce the size of your built banks is to change their encoding formats, quality and sample rate settings in the platform [Encoding Settings](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#platform-encoding-settings). Can you please compare your encoding settings in each of these projects and see if any of them is affecting the asset bank size significantly? ---

Will do. Thanks
