How Memory Pools Are Used in Your Game

How Memory Pools Are Used in Your Game

At a very basic level, when a SoundBank is loaded into memory, the sound engine performs two functions, it:

Parses the SoundBank's metadata and stores the sound hierarchy and Event information within the default memory pool.
Copies any media files to a user-defined memory pool.

When an Event triggers audio in your game, the lower engine memory pool performs any necessary audio processing before playing back the final audio.
