Does anyone know of a plugin where I can put on my project that allows me to import/drag in mp3s since they are smaller in size instead of wave files. I already know that its supposed to be wave files but they are literally 3 times the size of a mp3 file and I would rather use the mp3. Anything helps Free is best but I don’t mind if I have to pay for one.
Hey there @DragonRelt! Mp3 files are actually already supported if you were to drag them into the content browser. However, they are always converted to wav files anyway as that’s the format Unreal uses. Due to this, it’s often better to convert them yourself so you have more control over the conversion, but it’s not required.
I did say i know that, what im asking for are plugins that can convert them and unreal reads them like a wave file but they are still small like an mp3. I am fully aware of unreal’s ability to read wave files but I need it to a mp3 file since its smaller. I’ve got well over 9gigs of sound files that need to go in and it would close to about only 1 gig if its mp3. so If there are any suggestions as to plugins that read mp3 files in unreal engine and all i have to do is drag them in thats what i need. Got Suggestions?
Hi, it would be better to manually convert MP3 files to Ogg Vorbis format, for example, by using Audacity, and then import them into the editor. Ogg Vorbis provides a better compression ratio than MP3, and UE editor doesn’t decode it into WAV during import and serialization into the sound wave
interesting ill look into this
