Wwise (Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine) is Audiokinetic's software for interactive media and video games, available for free to non-commercial users[1][2] and under license for commercial video game developers. It features an audio authoring tool and a cross-platform sound engine.[3]
Description
The Wwise authoring application uses a graphical interface to centralize all aspects of audio creation. The functionality in this interface allows sound designers to:
- Import audio files for use in video games
- Apply audio plug-in effects
- Mix in real-time
- Define game states
- Simulate audio environments
- Manage sound integration
- Apply the Windows Spatial Audio API, or Dolby Atmos.
Wwise allows for on-the-fly audio authoring directly in game. Over a local network, users can create, audition, and tweak sound effects and subtle sound behaviors while the game is being played on another host.
Wwise also includes the following components:
- Cross-platform sound engine (Wwise Authoring)
- Multichannel Creator (allows creation of multichannel audio)
- Plug-in architecture for source, effect, and source control plug-ins, part of Wwise Launcher
- SoundFrame API
- Wave Viewer (allows for sampling of WAV audio files)
