Wwise Audio Lab

Description:

• The Rooms in this building are implemented in the TrainStation_Small_Interior_BP Blueprint, using the Spatial Audio Components (AkRoomComponent, AkLateReverbComponent, AkGeometryComponent, and AkPortalComponent). The Late Reverb Components for each Room have Auto Assign Aux Bus enabled, and also make use of automatic reverb parameter estimation.

Action Item:

• Automatic Aux Bus Assignment:

  • Open the Wwise Integration Settings from the Unreal Project Settings and scroll to the Reverb Assignment Map.

  • The Reverb Assignment Map determines how Aux Busses are assigned depending on the Decay estimation for an environment.

• Reverb Parameter Estimation:

  • Below the Aux Bus Assignment Map, you will see the RTPCs subsection. These RTPCs are used to send the estimated reverb parameters for different reverb environments to Wwise.

  • Remote connect to Wwise and open the Wwise Room Verb Effect for the Dynamic_RoomVerbLarge Aux Bus.

  • Click on the RTPC tab. Walk between the two Rooms.

What to Expect:

• Automatic Aux Bus Assignment:

  • If you change the Aux Busses or the Decay keys in the Reverb Assignment map, the Aux Busses for any AkLateReverbComponents or Spatial Audio Volumes that use Auto-Assign Aux Bus will be updated.

• Reverb Parameter Estimation:

  • As you walk between Rooms, you will see the reverb RTPCs in Wwise updating.
