Wwise 2025.1: Return of the Fader

New Releases

There have been some bold changes to the user interface over the past few releases of Wwise. Changes that aim to improve: contextual navigation through Object Tabs, access to properties in the Property Editorand moving the main editors to the center. All of this is part of a continued commitment to provide a focused and iterative real-time workflow for interactive audio.

However, as we enabled greater usability, one beloved element was left behind.

The Volume Fader!

For Wwise 2025.1 the Volume Fader has been restored while enabling the ability to choose between the Vertical Fader or Horizontal Slider for Voice and Bus Volume.

An Atari 2600/NES channelled through a C64 SID-chip. A Blue Monday game-child of purple-mountain majesty that feasted on guitar noise during the 90's shoegaze invasion, culminating in a two-tiered pedal board with never enough digits to turn all the knobs. A constant fascination with the dark art of implementation leading to discussions and articles diving into the unknown abyss of technical sound design, game audio podcasts and now the two-volume book series Game Audio: Tales of a Technical Sound Designer. Community to the core. Noise for life. Respect the vibrations.
