Supported Audio File Formats

Flame supports import and soft-import of the following audio file formats.

Files of any sample rate can be imported, but they are all resampled to 48 kHz.

NoteThe Import Image menu can soft-import only a limited set of audio file formats: AIFF, AIFF-C, and WAVE. The Gateway library method has no such limitation. See Importing Media Files.
