The sounds imported with this plugin do not work in game test mode so this plugin is pretty much useless.
Sound Importer
What is Sound Importer?
Sound Importer is a plugin that allows you to import .ogg and .mp3 audio files from pc directly to studio as temporary assets!
Why I should use this?
-
Audio upload limit
Sound Importer does not waste your monthly audio upload thing. Thus, you can test out your audio and if you feel satisfied with it, you can upload it on Roblox and use it for the game forever. -
Time save
Sound Importer requires you just a few clicks to import audio file, while to upload to Roblox you need to get on creator marketplace, put in your audio file, click upload button, copy ID and only then paste it to Roblox. Instead, you can use Sound Importer to see if your audio fits in. If not, just make a few changes to it or try another audio, and then upload it to Roblox.
Temporary assets
Sound Importer does NOT upload audio files to Roblox. It only imports them to Roblox studio as temporary files, which means none of team create members will be able to hear it except for you. It also will be played only in studio and not on actual Roblox client. The audio file will also reset after you close Roblox studio, which means you will need to import it again every time you open Roblox studio.
Ways to import
- Through sound object: Select any sound instance, then import a sound from your pc into it.
- Create new sound in instance: Select any instance that is not sound. Then import sound your pc, plugin will automatically create a new sound instance in the selected instance.
- Create new sound in workspace: Do not select anything. Do the import sound procedure and then the plugin will automatically create a new sound instance in workspace.
