Using the Voice Inspector

You can use the Voice Inspector either connected to a game or in Wwise authoring directly.

Setting up the Voice Inspector:

  1. Go to the Voice Profiler layout (F11) or directly open the Voice Inspector view.

  2. In the Voice Inspector, click the settings icon in the upper right corner or press Alt+G to open the Profiler Settings view.

  3. Enable Voices Data and Voice Inspector Data.

Capturing data:

  1. In the Project Explorer, add a Sound SFX with a source file. Set it to infinite looping.

  2. In the Property Editor's RTPC tab, add one or more RTPC curves attached to at least one value (of Volume, LPF, or HPF).

  3. Optionally, in the Property Editor's Positioning tab, add an Attenuation ShareSet, and in the Attenuation Editor, enable Cone Use.

  4. In the Wwise toolbar, click Start Capture. (Alt+C)

  5. In the Transport Control, play the sound. (spacebar)

  6. Adjust different settings, such as:

    • In the Attenuation Editor, move the Distance and Cone Attenuations.

    • In the General Settings tab of the Master Audio Bus or the sound, change the base value of Volume, Pitch, Low-pass Filter, or High-pass Filter.

  7. Stop the capture. (Alt+C)

At this point, the Voice Inspector has recorded all modifications to Volume/LPF/HPF on this voice. To see the modifications, observe the Voice Inspector while moving the time cursor in the Voice Monitor.

Observing the captured data:

  1. Ensure you have the Voice Explorer, the Voice Inspector, and Voice Monitor views open. (By default, the Voice Profiler layout includes them all.)

  2. Move the time cursor back in the Voice Monitor until you see your looping sound in the Voice Explorer. Select the sound in the Voice Explorer list.

  3. Once a sound is selected in the Voice Explorer, its full signal flow voice is displayed in the left panel, the Voice Graph, of the Voice Inspector view. Selecting a node in the graph displays a specific voice path, which will update the right panel, the Contribution List, accordingly.

  4. Move the time cursor back and forth in the Voice Monitor to see the modifications to Volume/LPF/HPF during the capture.

    [Tip]Tip

    Movement of the time cursor in either the Performance Monitor or Voice Monitor is synchronized with the other view.
