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.
Any Music Segment can be used as a transition segment. To learn how to create a segment, refer to Chapter 25, Working with Music Tracks and Segments.
