Version
In the Wwise Transport Control you can play back and audition your audio or motion assets at each phase in the development process, and also go back to audition an imported but unconverted version of the original file when needed. You can also specify which objects you want to audition based on platform, and monitor the playback of fades, delays, and Event Actions that you have applied.
The Transport Control contains standard playback controls and additional functionality to play back and monitor sound, music, and motion objects to which States, Switches, Triggers, or RTPCs have been applied. The following Wwise objects can be played back:
Sound SFX
Sound Voice
Containers
Events (not Dialogue Events)
Music Segments and Containers
When you select an object, an Event, or a container, it is automatically loaded into the Transport Control, and the name of the object with its associated icon is displayed in the title bar.

(Name) |
The name and icon for the Wwise object that has been loaded into the Transport Control. The following Wwise objects can be added to the Transport Control: Event |
|||
Sound SFX | ||||
Sound Voice | ||||
Random Container | ||||
Sequence Container | ||||
Blend Container | ||||
Switch Container | ||||
Music Segment | ||||
Music Playlist Container | ||||
Music Switch Container | ||||
(Pinned/Unpinned) |
When selected, the currently loaded object is locked in the Transport Control, and new objects will not be loaded, even when you have other objects in the Property Editor. |
|||
Determines whether the original or converted audio source is played back. When selected, the object plays back in its original and pre-converted form. When unselected, the converted version of the object is played back, if one exists. When you convert an audio file for a particular platform, it is converted to meet the specific hardware requirements of that platform. As a result, you may not be able to play back these converted files in Wwise if the authoring tool is running on a platform that does not support the file type. |
||||
When selected, only objects included in the selected platform are playable in the Transport Control. |
||||
Stops playback. |
||||
Pauses playback. Clicking this button a second time will resume playback. |
||||
Plays the object loaded into the Transport Control. Hold Shift while clicking Play to have Wwise play the loaded object while bypassing its properties. That is, somewhat like a PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) found in some DAWs, Wwise will play the object without its hierarchical properties (including such things as volume, pitch, filters, delays, Effects, Auxiliary Sends, Attenuation Curves, RTPC curves, States, positioning, and bus routing), but with its behaviors (such as fades, trims, loop points, and random and sequence playback) still intact.
Clicking on the Transport's Play button plays the clip from the Play Cursor's position. Clicking on the Play button while a Play Cursor continues to run will add another Play Cursor that will concurrently play from the same starting position as the first Play Cursor. |
||||
Delay |
Indicates whether a delay has been applied to an Event Action or Random or Sequence Container. When there is a delay, this icon becomes blue during the delay period in the playback. |
|||
Fade |
Indicates whether a Fade has been applied to an Event Action or Random or Sequence Container. When there is a Fade, this icon becomes blue during the fade period in the playback. |
|||
Stops playback and returns all property values to their original settings. |
||||
(Reset Selector Menu) |
Opens the Reset Selector menu with the following options:
|
|||
Set Voice Volume |
Indicates whether a Voice Volume Action has been applied to an object. When there is a Voice Volume Action applied, this icon becomes blue during playback and remains blue until you reset the volume. |
|||
Set Pitch |
Indicates whether a Pitch action has been applied to an object. When there is a Pitch action applied, this icon becomes blue during playback and remains blue until you reset the pitch. |
|||
Mute |
Indicates whether a Mute action has been applied to an object. When there is a Mute action applied, this icon becomes blue during playback and remains blue until you reset the Mute action. |
|||
Set Low-Pass Filter |
Indicates that a Low-Pass Filter action has been applied to an object. When there is a Low-Pass Filter action applied, this icon becomes blue during playback and remains blue until you reset the Low-Pass Filter action. |
|||
Enable Bypass |
Indicates that a Set Bypass action has been applied to an object. When a Set Bypass action has been applied, this icon becomes blue during playback and remains blue until you reset the Set Bypass action. |
