To create the “All-in-one” SoundBank in Wwise:

1. Create one SoundBank, and name it appropriately.

2. • Load the SoundBank into the SoundBank Editor and then drag the following items to the “Add” tab:

   • The “\Actor-Mixer Hierarchy\Default Work Unit”

   • The “\Events\Default Work Unit”

   • The “\Interactive Music Hierarchy\Default Work Unit” (Only required if using interactive music)

   • The “\Dynamic Dialogue\Default Work Unit” (Only required if using dynamic dialogue)

   • The check boxes under the Events, Structures, and Media columns are all selected by default. This is good because, for this method, we want everything to be included in the SoundBank.

     	Note
     	In a new project, only the default Work Unit is available. If more Work Units are created, these Work Units should also be added to the SoundBanks as required.

3. After all the Work Units have been added to the SoundBank, you can generate it and then copy the generated SoundBank folder to the game application.

To integrate the “All-in-one” SoundBank in game:

1. Since there is only one SoundBank for this game, you can simply load it when initializing the game. Of course, the sound engine must be correctly initialized first.

   The following sample of code gives you an idea how the “All-in-one” SoundBank can be loaded in game:

        
                 // Initialize the sound engine here. 
                 ...
   
                 // Load the Init bank and the "All in one" SoundBank. 
                 AkBankID  bankID; // Not used in this sample. 
                 AKRESULT eResult = AK::SoundEngine::LoadBank( L"Init.bnk", AK_DEFAULT_POOL_ID, bankID );
                 if( eResult == AK_Success )
                 {
                   eResult = AK::SoundEngine::LoadBank( L"MyAllInONeBank.bnk", AK_DEFAULT_POOL_ID, bankID );
                 }              
                 ...
