Looping Compressed Audio Files

Since compressed file formats, such as ADPCM, require that file lengths and region markers fall on sample boundaries, the zero-based samples are padded during the conversion process. This extra padding can cause problems when sounds are looped. To avoid these problems, Wwise prompts you to re-convert looped sounds to ensure that:

  • Padding does not occur at the end of the file.

  • Loop region markers are aligned with sample boundaries.

Wwise uses a pitch shift during the re-convert process to ensure that the files meet the requirements of the compression format. The loops remain sample accurate and the sample rate of the file is not changed.

[Note] Note

Any loop markers in the audio file that are shorter than the sample boundaries are removed when converted in Wwise.
