Hey there, this seems really silly but I can’t figure out how to remove a custom encoding for an audio asset. I accidentally added it and just want it to use the bank’s encoding.

Thank you!

To remove the custom encoding settings from an asset, right-click anywhere on the encoding settings widget shown in your screenshot to open the context menu, then select the “Remove Encoding Setting” menu item.
