Version
This Property Editor contains the properties and behavior options for the selected sound object (an SFX or a Voice). Object properties, such as pitch and volume, determine how the audio sounds in-game. Object behaviors, such as looping and streaming, determine how sounds are played at any given point in the game.
The General Settings tab of the Property Editor is divided into three separate areas. The first area includes all the absolute properties, such as output routing. The middle area includes all the relative properties, such as volume and pitch. The last area, on the right, includes all the behaviors.
For a complete description of absolute and relative properties, refer to About Properties in the Project Hierarchy.
For a description of the properties on the Conversion, Effects, Positioning, RTPC, States, and Advanced Settings tabs, refer to Common Property Tabs: Actor-Mixer Objects.
Refer to Understanding the Voice Pipeline to learn about how voices are being processed, how they are being routed and where the different volumes and Effects are being applied.

Interface Element |
Description |
||||||
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. Default value: true |
||||||
[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.

|||||||
Sets the display of the Property Editor's selected tabs. By default, there is one panel displaying only one selected tab. You can, however, click a splitter button to split the panel into two, either side by side or one on top of the other, for two different tabs. The currently selected option is highlighted with a background color.

Interface Element |
Description |
|||
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
|
|||
Voice Pitch |
The playback speed of an audio object, where:
Default value: 0 |
|||
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. (For more detail, see Wwise LPF and HPF Value Cutoff Frequencies .) Default value: 0 |
|||
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. The high-pass filter has a link indicator and an RTPC indicator, see Working with the Property Editor for more information. Default value: 0 |
Output Bus | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interface Element |
Description |

Volume (to Output Bus) |
The attenuation or amplitude of the signal routed to the audio output bus.
Default value: 0 |
||||||
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 |

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 |
Game-defined Auxiliary Sends | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Interface Element |
Description |
|||
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.
Default value: false |
|||
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: Default value: false |
|||
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 |
|||
|
User-Defined Auxiliary Sends | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interface Element |
Description |

|
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. |
||||||
User Auxiliary Send |
Determines the Auxiliary Bus this object is sending audio data to. Auxiliary sends can only target Auxiliary Busses. To add an auxiliary send:
|
||||||
[...] column (User-Defined Auxiliary Sends) |
Allow to select an Auxiliary Bus from the Master-Mixer Hierarchy. |
||||||
User-Defined Auxiliary Send Volume |
Determine the attenuation of the signal sent to the Auxiliary Bus.
Default value: 0 |

Sound Object Specific | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Initial Delay |
Initial delay applied before playing. This delay will be added to parents and children Initial delay.
Default value: 0 |
|||||||||
Behaviors | ||||||||||
Loop |
Enables controls that define the number of times the sound or defined loop region in the file will be played. Some compressed audio file formats, such as ADPCM, require that loop markers lie on predetermined sample boundaries. To accommodate these requirements, you may have to convert your files again when using the Loop option Default value: false |
|||||||||
Infinite |
Specifies that the sound or defined loop region in the file will be repeated indefinitely. Default value: true |
|||||||||
No. of loops |
The number of times the sound or defined loop region in the file will be played. Default value: 1 |
|||||||||
Stream |
Enables controls that allow you to stream the audio played in game directly from game media. Streamed media is not included into SoundBanks. It is the Wwise Stream Manager’s, and ultimately, the Low-Level I/O submodule’s responsibility to open and read them from disk at run-time. Refer to the Wwise SDK documentation for more details on Wwise I/O. Streamed files are described in the file SoundBanksInfo.xml, which is created for each platform when SoundBanks are generated. Refer to Managing SoundBanks for more details.
Default value: false |
|||||||||
Is Non Cachable |
Disables caching of this file, when caching is enabled in the streaming manager. This is useful to prevent long loops, or files that are played infrequently, from using up space in the streaming cache that could be better utilized by other sounds. Default value: false |
|||||||||
Zero Latency |
Creates a small audio buffer consisting of the beginning portion of the audio file that covers the latency time required to fetch the rest of the file. This enables the entire streamed sound to be played back without delays. Latency and prefetch settings are set per track. If you have more than one music source per track then the beginning portion of each source will need to be loaded into memory. Default value: false |
|||||||||
Prefetch length (ms) |
The beginning portion of the sound, in milliseconds, that will be loaded into memory in order for the streamed sound to be played back with zero latency. Default value: 100 |
