    Why this matters

    Audio processing can consume significant CPU and reduce rendering performance if unoptimized.

    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Profile CPU usage of current audio processing.
    2. Reduce audio sample rates to 22kHz or 11kHz where acceptable.
    3. Limit number of simultaneously playing audio clips below 10 if possible.
    4. Use hardware decompression on supported devices.
    5. Eliminate or reduce costly audio effects like reverb.

    Watch for

    Many simultaneous clips or high sample rates increase CPU usage dramatically.

    Definition of done

    Audio uses fewer clips simultaneously and reduced sample rates without quality loss.
