The Wwise Project Adventure

Handling the transition from the action music to ambient requires special handling because of the looping nature of the action playlist, and also in order to capitalize on the dramatic intent signaled by the end of the action music.

At times, a transition sounds better if another piece of music plays over the end of the source and the beginning of the destination. This bridging piece of music is called a transition segment, and you can use one for any transition in Wwise. The following illustration shows how a transition segment is played between the source and destination of a music transition.

You can also use any combination of the pre-entry and post exit areas of the source, destination, and transition segments to create even more seamless transitions.

In order to bridge the transition from the Action Music Loop playlist (Source) back to the Ambient Music Loop playlist (Destination) the addition of the Action Theme End must be used as a transition segment as part of a new transition in the transition matrix.
