Confirmation messages | ||||||
Turns on all confirmation messages (alerts about operations that cannot be undone) that were previously turned off when the user selected Don't ask me again. |
||||||
External Editors | ||||||
Prompts the Windows Open dialog (or the Mac Finder) for browsing to an external audio file editor to add to the list of editors that can be accessed directly from Wwise. Once added, you can edit imported audio files with your favorite tool without interrupting your work in Wwise. |
||||||
Deletes the selected external audio file editors from the list. |
||||||
Sets the selected editor as the default and moves it, if necessary, to the top of the list. The first listed editor is always the default.
|
||||||
|
Opens a search field where standard alphanumeric entries filter out unmatching elements from the view. Learn more in Using Tables. Click the Close icon to the left of the search icon to close the search field and remove the filter.
|
|||||
|
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. |
|||||
Name |
Specifies the name of the external audio file editor. |
|||||
Path |
Defines the location for the external audio file editor. |
|||||
Start Mode |

|
|||||
Opens the Windows Open dialog box, where you can browse to the location of the audio file editor's executable. |
||||||
User Interface Workflow | ||||||
Inspect objects when selection changes |
Enables, by default, the direct display of the object's content without the need to double-click. This setting is effective in all views, including the Project Explorer. When disabled, a double-click is required to show the object's content. |
|||||
Enable High DPI support |
Optimizes Wwise for a High DPI display, such as on a 4K or 5K monitor. When disabled, Wwise will shrink to a ratio equivalent to the number of pixels on a standard display. |
|||||
Sound Engine | ||||||
Audio System |
Specifies the system API used for audio output. It does not affect the game sound engine.
|
|||||
Output Buffer Count |
Specifies the number of output buffers the Wwise authoring tool will use when playing sounds and motion effects, balancing output stability versus latency for the current user.
|
|||||
Samples Per Output Buffer |
Specifies the number of audio samples per output buffer, balancing output stability versus latency. |
|||||
Output Latency |
Indicates the output latency, as determined by the output buffer parameters. |
|||||
Music Track look-ahead time (ms) |
Specifies the amount of time reserved by the sound engine so it can seek the streaming data. This track-latency time is useful to avoid de-synchronization or voice starvation problems when playing back your music objects in Wwise, which result from the fact all objects are streamed when played back in the Wwise authoring application, even if the stream option has not been selected. Default value: 200 |
|||||
Background Processing | ||||||
Analyze WAV files to find peaks and prepare them for HDR playback |
Specifies if the AKD files are automatically generated in background when the WAV files are imported or modified. The AKD files store the following WAV file analysis data:
It is not recommended to disable this option. |
|||||
MIDI | ||||||
Display Middle-C As |
MIDI notes are mapped on a fixed numerical range: 0 - 127. The MIDI specification defines the note number 60 as middle-C and all other notes are relative. There is a discrepancy that occurs between various models of MIDI devices and software programs to which octave of C is considered middle-C. This option specifies what octave of C is considered middle-C. The possible mappings are:
Default value: C4. |
|||||
Documentation | ||||||
Source |
Specifies the documentation format, online help on the audiokinetic.com website or the Wwise Help CHM, used for the contextual help. |
|||||
Language |
Specifies the language (English, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese) used for the documentation. The default language is the operating system's language, unless it does not exist or until this setting is modified. |
