The WEM file extension is related to Wwise Encoded Media software that is used to develop audio experience for interactive media. This audio file includes compressed audio data that can be found within game files, such as from complex and interactive games produced in the Unity3D engine. WEM files can also store metadata associated with the audio recordings, including the key signature, bpm and tempo.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
The WEM file format stores encoded data using psychoacoustic compression technology developed by Audiokinetic, which leads to a lossless source, with time and frequency domain encoded compressed at a very low bit rate (around 8-64 kbps). WEM files are typically played directly from their encoding package, which is end-user friendly but not as efficient as if they were decoded before playback. WEM files are usually found accompanying other game files, such as the.BNK,.AWB,.OGG,.XWM, and.WAVPACK extensions.
SIMILAR FILE EXTENSIONS
Similar audio file extensions associated with the Wwise Encoded Media include: WXB, .WAV, .WAVE, .OGG, and M4A.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WEM) 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 .WEM 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 .WEM 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 .WEM 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 .WEM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WEM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WEM 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 .WEM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WEM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WEM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
