Wwise (Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine), is Audiokinetic's software solution for interactive media and video games, available for free to non-commercial users[2][3] and under license for commercial video game developers. It features an audio authoring tool and a cross-platform sound engine.[4]

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

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
  • Real-time game simulator
  • Plug-in architecture for source, effect, and source control plug-ins
  • SoundFrame API
