SoundBank Editor - Add Tab

The Add tab of the SoundBank Editor is where you build the contents of your SoundBank. You can drag different project elements, including Events, sound objects, and Work Units, from the Project Explorer or Event Viewer to add them to your SoundBank. When you add parent project elements, all corresponding child objects will be added to the SoundBank automatically. For each project element, you must also decide whether you want to include all corresponding events, object structures, and media within the SoundBank.

Wwise uses the following colors to highlight different issues with the project elements that have been added to a SoundBank:

Red - The project element is missing from the project.
Yellow - The project element has been unloaded from the project.
