Question by mcihanozer · Mar 07, 2018 at 05:53 PM · audio audioclip audio files

Choosing the Correct Audio Format

I know, PCM or ADPCM formats are suggested for sound effects and Vorbis or MP3 is suggested for background music, ambient sounds, dialogs etc.

I also know that in the end all sound formats are converted to Vorbis by Unity.

I also came across with performance suggestions such as on this link.

So, my question is:

Since all formats are converted into Vorbis in the end, what is the point of using the sound effects in PCM format? Why not uploading all the sound files in Vorbis?
