FSB is a file extension used by FMOD software for its sample bank resources. Files of this type can be found in different formats like FSB2, FSB3 and FSB4, and represent library files created with FMOD audio library. This library allows developers to create rich soundscapes for their games and other projects.
These file types are encoded in a proprietary binary format that compresses the sound files within. This compression is done to reduce both the size of the file as well as the memory usage when loading into a game engine. Generally, in FSB files, you can expect to find PCM-encoded data along with some minor metadata. This data include the instruments' volume, sample rate, loop behavior settings, and more.
Common Uses
Game developers often uses .FSB, FSB2, FSB3, and FSB4 files to store their audio assets in their engines. Aside from games, they have also been known to be used in some professional audio production solutions as well. Other similar file extensions commonly found in conjunction with FSB files include FSBPROJ, FSBW and FSBNK.
Editing and Converting FSB Files
In order to edit an .FSB file, it must first be converted into a more common audio format such as WAV, AIFF or MP3 using a third-party tool like Audacity. From there, an audio editor can be used to modify the contents and then saving it back into an FSB format using the same tool.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FSB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FSB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FSB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FSB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FSB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FSB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FSB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FSB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FSB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FSB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
