Unity Game Optimization - Third Edition

Importing audio files

When we select an imported audio file in the Project window, the Inspector window will reveal multiple Import Settings. These settings dictate everything from loading behavior, compression behavior, quality, sample rate, and (in later versions of Unity) whether to support ambisonic audio (multichannel audio, which combines tracks via spherical harmonics to create more realistic audio experiences).

Many of the audio import options can be configured on a per-platform basis, allowing us to customize behavior between different target platforms.
