Convert WAV to FSB

Understanding WAV and FSB file formats

The WAV file format is a standard for storing audio data on PCs. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, it is primarily used in applications that require high-quality audio, such as music processing and broadcasting. WAV files can contain audio in uncompressed, lossless quality, making them suitable for professional audio editing.

The FSB file format, on the other hand, is used for storing sound data in video games. Developed by FMOD, FSB files are often used in games to store sound effects, music, and other audio data. They are optimized for efficient memory usage and quick access during gameplay.
