   <p>All games have to have sound effects - and most also have music - which means that you need to be able to add them to your game in <span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span>. This is done through the <a href="../The_Asset_Editors/Sounds.htm"><strong>Sound Editor</strong></a>, which is opened whenever you create a new Sound asset in the Asset Browser:</p>
   <p><img alt="The Sound Editor" class="center" src="../assets/Images/QS_Guide/QS_SoundEditor.png" /></p>
-  <p>Sounds in <span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span> can be <strong>uncompressed </strong>or <strong>compressed</strong>, with compressed sounds having additional options on how to deal with them at run time. Uncompressed sounds are those that have been saved as <span class="inline">WAV</span> format files, while compressed sounds can be either <span class="inline">MP3</span> or <span class="inline">OGG</span> format. In general you&#39;ll want small sound effects to be <span class="inline">WAV</span> - like shooting sounds, or button sounds, etc... - and larger effects or music to be <span class="inline">MP3</span> or <span class="inline">OGG</span>. As with the other different resources, it is recommended that you name your sounds using an appropriate prefix like &quot; <span class="inline">snd_</span>&quot; so you can easily identify it later.</p>
-  <p class="note"><strong>NOTE</strong>: An uncompressed sound simply means that it has not had any type of compression <strong> <a class="glossterm" data-glossterm="algorithm" href="#">algorithm</a></strong> applied to it. Applying <a class="glossterm" data-glossterm="compression" href="#">compression</a> to a sound means that it will require less storage space, but will also mean that it needs to be decompressed before playing, and since small sound effects are generally used a lot and very quickly - and don&#39;t take up much storage space - you don&#39;t want the extra CPU cost of decompressing it when it&#39;s being played. However, since things like music files can generally be very large files, you do want them to be compressed, as they will take up less storage space that way, and the extra CPU cost of decompressing is negligible, since they are only generally being played one at a time.</p>
-  <p>Adding a sound is as simple as clicking the add sound button <img alt="Add Sound Icon" class="icon" src="../assets/Images/Icons/Icon_AddSound.png" /> and then browsing in the file explorer that opens to the file you want to use (you can also drag and release sound files onto the <span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span> IDE and they will be added as a new sound asset). Once you have selected one and loaded it in, you can then preview it using the playback controls shown as well as change certain attributes for how the file should be exported. If you aren&#39;t sure about this, then simply leave everything &quot;as-is&quot;, although if you are adding music or <span class="inline">MP3</span> / <span class="inline">OGG</span> format sounds you should probably change to the <em>Compressed - Not Streamed</em> format.</p>
