Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Name

The name of the object.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

Voice Volume

The attenuation (level or amplitude) applied on the current object before it is routed to a bus or sent to an Auxiliary Bus. Refer to Understanding the Voice Pipeline for more information about volumes.

Default value: 0
Range: -400 to 400
Units: dB

	Note
	The default slider range is from -96 to +12 dB. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.

Voice Pitch

The playback speed of an audio object, where:

	Tip
	1,200 cents is equivalent to one octave.

Default value: 0
Range: -4,800 to +4,800
Units: Cents

Voice Low-pass Filter

A recursive filter that attenuates high frequencies based on the value specified.

The units for this filter represent the percentage of low-pass filtering that has been applied, where 0 means no low-pass filtering (signal unaffected) and 100 means maximal attenuation.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 100
Units: Percent
(For more detail, see Wwise LPF Value Cutoff Frequencies.)

Voice High-pass Filter

A recursive filter that attenuates low frequencies based on the value specified.

The units for this filter represent the percentage of high-pass filtering that has been applied, where 0 means no high-pass filtering (signal unaffected) and 100 means maximal attenuation.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 100
Units: Percent

The High-pass Filter is not available on the Vita Hardware platform.

Override parent

Determines whether the routing will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the output controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Bus

The Audio Bus in the Master-Mixer Hierarchy through which the object is routed.

This option is unavailable when the object is inheriting the output properties from the parent.

The Audio Bus can be unlinked to create a different routing path on a specific platform.

For more information, see To unlink the output routing for the current platform:.

Opens the Project Explorer - Browser where you can select the Audio Bus through which the object will be routed.

Volume (to Output Bus)

The attenuation or amplitude of the signal routed to the audio output bus.

Default value: 0
Range: -200 to 200
Units: dB

	Note
	The default slider range is from -96 to +12. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly, or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.

	Tip
	When using the User-Defined Auxiliary Sends in a wet/dry mix scenario, the Output Bus Volume would be associated with the dry level, as opposed to the auxiliary send volume, which would relate to the wet level. Use an RTPC on Output Bus Volume and Auxiliary Send Volumes to control the balance from the game.

Low-Pass Filter (to Output Bus)

A Low-Pass Filter for the signal routed to the audio output bus.

A recursive filter that attenuates high frequencies based on the value specified.

The units for this filter represent the percentage of Low-Pass Filtering that has been applied, where 0 means no Low-Pass Filtering (signal unaffected) and 100 means maximal attenuation.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 100
Units: Percent

High-Pass Filter (to Output Bus)

A High-Pass Filter for the signal routed to the audio output bus.

A recursive filter that attenuates low frequencies based on the value specified.

The units for this filter represent the percentage of High-Pass Filtering that has been applied, where 0 means no High-Pass Filtering (signal unaffected) and 100 means maximal attenuation.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 100
Units: Percent

Override Parent

Determines whether the game-defined auxiliary sends usage will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the game-defined auxiliary controls are unavailable.

	Note
	If the object is a top-level object, then this option is unavailable.

Use game-defined auxiliary sends

Determines whether the object is using the game-defined auxiliary sends for the game object. A game-defined send is a combination of an Auxiliary Bus and a send volume.

Enable this option to have the object affected by the values coming from the game for the following functions:

Volume (Game-defined auxiliary sends)

Determines the attenuation on the game-defined auxiliary sends volumes set for the game object.

Use this volume to offset game-defined auxiliary send values.

Default value: 0
Range: -200 to 200
Units: dB

	Note
	The default slider range is from -96 to +12. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly, or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.

Override Parent

Determines whether the User-Defined Auxiliary Sends usage will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the user-defined auxiliary controls are unavailable.

	Note
	If the object is a top-level object, then this option is unavailable.

Click the Configure Columns... shortcut (right-click) option from the column header band.

The Configure Columns Dialog opens. Specify which columns to display and their order.

ID column (User-Defined Auxiliary Sends)

Determines the ID of the User-Defined Auxiliary Sends. Up to 4 different sends can be added.

Auxiliary Bus column (User-Defined Auxiliary Sends)

Determines the Auxiliary Bus this object is sending audio data to. Auxiliary sends can only target Auxiliary Busses.

	Note
	Auxiliary Busses can be created anywhere in the Master-Mixer Hierarchy as children of an existing Bus or an existing Auxiliary Bus.

	Tip
	You can drag and drop an Auxiliary Bus object from the Project Explorer to the User-Defined Auxiliary Sends list to quickly add a send.

[...] column (User-Defined Auxiliary Sends)

Allow to select an Auxiliary Bus from the Master-Mixer Hierarchy.

Volume column (User-Defined Auxiliary Sends)

Determine the attenuation of the signal sent to the Auxiliary Bus.

Default value: 0
Range: -200 to 200
Units: dB

	Note
	The default slider range is from -96 to +12 dB. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly, or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.

	Note
	This control is only active when an Auxiliary Bus is selected for a specific send entry.

Switch Type

Switch

Plays objects within the container according to switches.

State

Plays objects within the container according to states.

Group

The Switch or State Group assigned to the current container.

The Group list contains all the Switch or State Groups that currently exist for the current project.

The contents of the Group list depends on whether Switch or State is selected.

Default Switch/State

The Switch or state that will be played when the game cannot identify a specific Switch or state.

Displays the selected state or Switch Group in the Game Syncs tab of the Project Explorer.

Play Mode

Step

Changes the object only after a new play Event is triggered regardless of whether the Switch changed during playback.

This option is useful for one-shot sounds, such as footstep sounds that walk across different surfaces.

Continuous

Changes the object as soon as a new Switch is detected. When Continuous is selected, a new play Event is not required to change the object that is played.

This option is useful for looping sounds, such as snowboarding sounds that switch from snow to ice.
