Workflow with Event-Based Packaging

1. Integrate Wwise in your Unreal project
   Use the Audiokinetic Launcher to integrate Wwise into your Unreal project. A Wwise project will be created, or you can use an existing one. You may start creating Events in the Wwise project, and they automatically will be added to the Unreal Asset Database.
2. Reference AkAudioEvent objects in a level
   AkAudioEvent objects can now be referenced in a level, such as in using Wwise-specific Blueprint Functions or AkAmbientSound objects.
3. Generate Sound Data
   From the Build menu, select the Generate Sound Data option, and then select all platforms and languages to be generated, and click OK. After the banks are generated at least once, it is possible to play sounds in the editor. For more information, refer to Generating Sound Data.

Workflow without Event-Based Packaging

Here is a sample workflow using the integration when Event-Based Packaging is not used:

1. Integrate Wwise in your Unreal project
   Use the Audiokinetic Launcher to integrate Wwise into your Unreal project. A Wwise project will be created, or you can use an existing one. You may start creating Events in the Wwise project.
2. Add AkAudioEvent objects to your Unreal project
   In the Unreal Content Browser, add AkAudioEvent objects from the Wwise or WAAPI pickers, or from the Context menu.
3. Reference AkAudioEvent objects in a level
   AkAudioEvent objects can now be referenced in a level, such as in using Wwise-specific Blueprint Functions or AkAmbientSound objects.
4. Add AkAudioBank objects
   The Wwise assets associated with AkAudioEvent object can be distributed across any number of AkAudioBank objects. Using the Unreal Content Browser, add AkAudioBank objects as required.
5. Set the RequiredBank property for each AkAudioEvent
   The RequiredBank property of each AkAudioEvent determines which AkAudioBank its content will be stored in. This property must be set for each AkAudioEvent used in the game.
6. Generate SoundBanks (for play-in-editor)
   From the Build menu, select the Generate Sound Data option, and then select all banks to be generated, and click OK. The required SoundBanks are generated. After the banks are generated at least once, it is possible to play sounds in the editor.
