Wwise Help

(Toolbar)

Displays one or more icons representing the project elements that can be added as parents or children of the selected node in the Project Explorer.

By default, the toolbar displays all project elements that can be added as a child of the selected node. To display the possible parent project elements, press the Shift key.

To add a child to the selected node, simply click one of the active icons in the icon bar. To add a parent to the selected node, simply Shift+click one of the active icons in the icon bar.

Different icons will become active depending on the type of object you currently have selected in your project hierarchy.

Audio Devices

A complete list of Audio Devices in your project sorted by Work Units and Virtual Folders. Double-click an Audio Device to open the Audio Device Editor: System.

Note

The listed Audio Devices are sink plug-ins created by third parties or by developers using the SDK's sink plug-in framework. They are only available to those who have created and/or incorporated these plug-ins into Wwise. Correspondingly, there is no toolbar icon. Instead, from the shortcut menu of any Work Unit in the Audio Devices section, select New Child. Under the Work Unit and Virtual Folder options, all available Audio Device plug-ins are listed. These Audio Devices are also automatically added to the Init.bnk file.

	Tip
	Refer to the SDK documentation to learn more about how to develop Audio Device plug-ins.

Master-Mixer Hierarchy

A hierarchical structure of busses at the top of your object hierarchy that allows you to define the routing of the various sound, music, and motion structures within your project.

After the different structures have been grouped into busses, you can modify the properties, such as volume and pitch, define behaviors, such as ducking, and apply effects to the entire group.

Double-click a bus to open the Bus Property Editor.

Actor-Mixer Hierarchy

A hierarchical structure of the assets within your project. The Actor-Mixer Hierarchy can be comprised of a series of sound and motion objects, containers, Actor-Mixers, and folders that organize the many assets in your project. Double-click an object to open it in the Property Editor.

Interactive Music Hierarchy

A hierarchical structure of the music assets within your project. The Interactive Music Hierarchy can be comprised of a series of tracks, segments, containers, and folders that both organize the many music assets in your project. Double-click an object to open it in the Property Editor.

For Audio Devices, Actor-Mixer Hierarchy, and Interactive Music Hierarchy objects:

Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included in the SoundBanks when they are generated. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included.

To optimize your sound design for each platform, you might want to exclude certain elements on certain platforms. By default, this check box applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator to the left of the check box to unlink the element. Then you can customize the state of the check box per platform.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the editor become unavailable.

Default value: true
