音频剪辑

Audio clips contain the audio data used by Audio Sources. Unity supports mono, stereo, and multichannel audio assets up to eight channels. You can import the following audio file formats in Unity: .aif, .wav, .mp3, and .ogg. Unity also supports importing of tracker modules in the .xm, .mod, .it, and .s3m formats. The tracker module assets behave the same way as any other audio assets in Unity although no waveform preview is available in the asset import inspector.

选项

Force To Mono

启用此选项后,多声道音频将在打包前混合为单声道。

Normalize

启用此选项后,音频将在“Force To Mono”(强制为单声道)混合过程中被标准化

Load In Background

启用此选项后,剪辑的加载将在单独的线程上延时进行,不会阻止主线程。

Ambisonic

Ambisonic audio sources store audio in a format which represents a soundfield that can be rotated based on the listener’s orientation. It’s useful for 360-degree videos and XR applications. Enable this option if your audio file contains Ambisonic-encoded audio.

属性

Load Type Unity 在运行时用于加载音频资源的方法。
Decompress On Load Audio files are decompressed as soon as they’re loaded. Use this option for smaller compressed sounds to avoid the performance overhead of decompressing on the fly. Be aware that decompressing Vorbis-encoded sounds on load will use about ten times more memory than keeping them compressed (for ADPCM encoding it’s about 3.5 times), so don’t use this option for large files.
Compressed In Memory Keep audio compressed in memory and decompress while playing. This option has a slight performance overhead, especially for Ogg/Vorbis compressed files. Use it only for files that consume excess memory for the Decompressed on Load. The decompression happens on the mixer thread, which can be monitored in the DSP CPU section in the Audio pane of the Profiler window.
Streaming Decode continuous audio. This method uses a minimal amount of memory to buffer compressed data that’s incrementally read from the disk and decoded spontaneously. The decompression happens on a separate streaming thread whose CPU usage can be monitored in the Streaming CPU section in the Audio pane of the profiler window. Note: Streaming clips have an overhead of approximately 200KB, even if none of the audio data is loaded.
Compression Format 在运行时将用于声音的特定格式。请注意,可用选项取决于当前选定的构建目标。
PCM This option offers higher quality at the expense of larger file size and is best for short sound effects.
ADPCM 此格式适用于大量噪音和需要大量播放的声音(例如脚步声、撞击声、武器声音)。较之于 PCM,压缩能力提高 3.5 倍,但 CPU 使用率远低于 MP3/Vorbis 格式,因此成为上述声音类别的最佳压缩方案。
Vorbis/MP3 压缩使文件减小,但与 PCM 音频相比,质量降低。可通过 Quality 滑动条来配置压缩量。此格式最适合中等长度的音效和音乐。
Sample Rate Setting PCM 和 ADPCM 压缩格式允许自动优化或手动降低采样率。
Preserve Sample Rate 此设置可保持采样率不变(默认值)。
Optimize Sample Rate 此设置根据分析的最高频率内容自动优化采样率。
Override Sample Rate This setting allows manual overriding of the sample rate, so effectively this might be used to discard frequency content.
Force To Mono When enabled, the audio clip is down-mixed to a single channel sound. After the down-mixing the signal is peak-normalized, because the down-mixing process typically results in signals that are more quiet than the original. The peak-normalized signal provides headroom for later adjustments through the volume property of AudioSource.
Load In Background When enabled, the audio clip loads in the background without causing stalls on the main thread. This is disabled by default to ensure the standard Unity behavior where all AudioClips complete loading as soon as the scene starts playing. Play requests on AudioClips that are still loading in the background are deferred until the clip is loaded. You can query the load state through the AudioClip.loadState property.
Preload Audio Data When enabled, the audio clip is pre-loaded after the scene is loaded. This is enabled by default to reflect standard Unity behavior where all AudioClips complete loading as soon as the scene starts playing. If this flag isn’t set, the audio data will either be loaded on the first [AudioSource](class-AudioSource.html).Play()/[AudioSource](class-AudioSource.html).PlayOneShot(), or it can be loaded through [AudioSource](class-AudioSource.html).LoadAudioData() and unloaded again through [AudioSource](class-AudioSource.html).UnloadAudioData().
Quality Determines the amount of Compression to be applied to a compressed clip. Doesn’t apply to PCM/ADPCM/HEVAG formats. Statistics about the file size can be seen in the inspector. A good approach to tuning this value is to drag the slider to a place that leaves the playback “good enough” while keeping the file small enough for your distribution requirements. Note that the original size relates to the original file, so if this was an MP3 file and Compression Format is set to PCM (uncompressed), the resulting Ratio will be bigger than 100% because the file is now stored uncompressed and taking up more space than the source MP3 that it came from.

预览窗口

The Preview window contains the following icons:

  • Turn Auto Play On/Off - When Auto Play is on, the clips play as soon as they’re selected.

  • Turn Loop On/Off - When Loop is on, the clips play in a continuous loop.

  • Play - Plays the selected clip.

导入音频资源

Unity supports a wide range of source file formats. Whenever importing a file, Unity transcodes to a format suitable for the build target and the type of sound. You can select this via the Compression Format setting in the inspector.

Typically, the PCM and Vorbis/MP3 formats are preferrable for keeping the sound as close to the original as possible. PCM is lightweight on the CPU requirements, because the sound is uncompressed and can just be read from memory. Vorbis/MP3 allows adaptive discarding with less audible information via the Quality slider.

ADPCM falls between memory and CPU usage as it uses only slightly more CPU than the uncompressed PCM option, but yields a constant 3.5 compression factor, which is in general about 3 times worse than the compression that can be achieved with Vorbis or MP3 compression. Furthermore ADPCM (like PCM) allows automatically optimized or manually set sample rates to be used, which – depending on the frequency content of the sound and the acceptable loss of quality – can further shrink the size of the packed sound assets.

Module files (.mod,.it,.s3m..xm) can deliver high quality with an extremely low footprint. When using module files, unless you specifically want this, make sure that the Load Type is set to Compressed In Memory, because if it’s set to Decompress On Load, the whole song will be decompressed.

As a general rule of thumb, Compressed audio (or modules) are best for long files like background music or dialog, while PCM and ADPCM is better for short sound effects that contain some noise, as the artefacts of ADPCM are too apparent on smooth signals. You should tweak the amount of Compression using the compression slider. Start with high-quality compression and gradually reduce the setting to the point where the loss of sound quality is perceptible. Then, increase it again slightly until the perceived loss of quality disappears.

特定于平台的详细信息

  • Unity supports importing a variety of source format sound files. However, when importing these files (except tracker files), they’re always re-encoded to the build target format. By default, this format is Vorbis, though this can be overridden per platform to other formats (ADPCM, MP3 etc) if required.
  • For audio clip support on Linux, make sure you’ve installed the ffmpeg package.
