Oh, and if you have a lot of AudioClips, it’s best to spawn a new thread to load them up asynchronously, otherwise you could block the main application thread which will render the UI unresponsive while it’s loading. We’ve seen this happen on a couple occasions... I wanted to provide a library API to handle pre-loading, but didn’t have the time or resources :( -DrD-
