Installing the Course Materials
Get your system ready for this certification! Follow the guidelines to install Wwise, and any other tools, assets and files you’ll be using throughout this course.
Lesson 1: Quick Start–From Silence to Sound
Starting from a completely new Wwise project, you’ll place your first sound into the Cube demo game. Along the way, you’ll learn about the Wwise user-interface and the core concepts used to implement sound into any video game.
Lesson 2: Designing a Soundscape
Game audio implementers prove their worth by creating a lot of sonic variety using the least amount of audio assets. Discover how to randomize, granularize and re-cycle sounds to get the most sound from the fewest resources.
Lesson 3: Understanding Game Syncs
Game syncs, such as States, Switches, and Game Parameters, communicate changing conditions in the game. Learn how to use this information to modify which sounds play and or how they’re heard.
Lesson 4: Creating Space
Volume, pan, and filters can be used to paint a sonic image that matches the visual picture. Learn how Wwise’s 2D panning and 3D spatialization features can be tailored towards the perfect mix.
Lesson 5: Understanding Audio Signal Flow
Games can have thousands of sounds that all need to find their way to the speaker. Learn how to organize, manage and modify your game’s audio signal flow using busses, auxiliary sends and effects.
Lesson 6: Finalizing the Mix
Learn to use Soundcaster to simulate gameplay and hear how your mix sounds, even when a playable version of a game isn’t available. Then, use the Wwise Mixing Desk or even an external control surface to audibly balance the sounds, and place the finishing touches on your game’s mix.
Lesson 7: Optimizing Your Game
It doesn’t matter how good your game sounds, if it uses too many resources at runtime, your implementation is unusable. Discover specific Wwise features for managing and monitoring memory and processor use.
