The recording of copyrighted music is usually not permitted through the DVR of the PS4 and Xbox One. Both consoles provide a special virtual device to manage the music alone and avoid recording it. In Wwise, this also means separately mixing the music, in a different hierarchy. We implemented this in the Integration Demo project. You can take look at the setup for the NonRecordable_Bus, the RecordableMusic and NonRecordableMusic sounds. From the code perspective, take a look at DemoBGM.cpp.
The NonRecordableMusic is routed to the Non Recordable Bus which outputs its signal to the DVR_Bypass output, as shown below:
On the code side, there is very little to do to have this working. The game must call
AK::SoundEngine::AddOutput()
with the name of the Audio Device ShareSet to initialize the output.
With the Wwise Advanced Profiler, we can see that each sound goes in separate busses and separate outputs. This is what normally happens on Xbox One and PS4. (Note that the intermediate bus Music is omitted.)
The DVR feature doesn’t exist on any other supported platforms, so we need to do something different. In this case you obviously don’t want to lose that music in-game, so you have to route it correctly. To resolve this you can simply unlink the Audio Device property. In the master bus Property Editor, the Audio Device property can also be unlinked. In the example below, we made the Non Recordable Bus output to the ordinary System output. It still goes to DVR_Bypass for Xbox One and PS4 though, hence the half-orange Link icon. This is what we did in the Integration Demo project. In this case, the code doesn’t need to call AK::SoundEngine::AddOutput to initialize the output since the System output is always initialized at startup.
When playing both sounds, we see that the signal from both sources goes through separate busses, but they end up mixed in the same System output.
