Using Text Boxes and Sliders

Most of the views in Wwise contain text boxes in which you can type property values or specific information about an object. The name of the text box identifies the type of information the field represents. Depending on the view, the name of the text box could be beside, above, or below it.

Property value.

You can copy text from a text box by right-clicking the text and selecting Copy. When text is displayed in a text box but can't be edited, it is unavailable.

If you want to return a property value to its default setting, Ctrl+click in the text box.

Most of the text boxes that contain property values also have a horizontal slider underneath them. You can drag the slider to set the value in the text box from a continuous range of possible values.

Horizontal sliders contain a slider head and a slider bar. The slider head is a small point that represents the current property value. The slider bar represents how much or how little the current value represents within the range of possible values.

Slider bar.

Slider head.

The slider head appears in different locations along the slider depending on where the default value falls within the range of possible values for each property. The slider bar also starts in different locations and moves in different directions depending on where the default value falls within the range of possible values for each property.

[Note]Note

Some sliders have a default slider range that is only a subset of the full range of the property. To access a greater range of values for a particular property, enter a value in the text box outside the default slider range. To view the "default slider range" and full "range" for each property, refer to the Contextual Help for that property or the Reference Topic for the related view.

When you click and hold anywhere in the text box, the super slider appears, which makes it easier for you to fine-tune the property value. When you release the mouse button, the larger slider disappears. If you need to define the value more precisely, you can Shift+drag the slider to increase or decrease the value in smaller increments.

Click and hold anywhere in the text box to display the super slider and then drag to change the property value.
