Viewing Behavior and Performance in Profiler

Wwise’s Profiler layout features let you see in great detail all of the background processes that are at work when audio for the game is played. This includes the ability to see behind the scenes into how Wwise uses the structure you’ve implemented so far.

[Note]

To review the Profiler features refer to Wwise-101 Lesson 7.

The Profiler views only work when a capture session is active, so you’ll start one before playing the Explore Music Playlist Container.

  1. Click the Start Capture button in the toolbar, then play the Explore Music Playlist Container.

    The exploration music begins to play. While it plays you can switch to the Profiler layout.

  2. In the main menu choose Layouts > Profiler or press F6.

    Notice in the Capture Log view you can see how Wwise is making decisions in advance or scheduling which Music Segment will play next based on the architecture of the playlist you configured. In the Advanced Profiler View you can see which objects are actively playing. You’ll notice that two Music Tracks are playing simultaneously when the transition segments overlap.

  3. Click the Stop Capture button and stop playback by pressing the Spacebar.
