Wwise Fundamentals covers all the basics about the Wwise audio engine and production pipeline. You’ll understand Events, game objects and game syncs, and learn everything from how to create and build a Wwise Project, to managing your assets and integrating audio into your game or interactive audio project.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and upgrading the Wwise authoring application, the Wwise SDK, the Audiokinetic Launcher and, in turn, all other Wwise components.

Wwise Video Tutorials are a series of educational how-to-videos that complement the Wwise-101 and Wwise-201 Certifications’ learning material. These videos are a great resource for putting what you learn into practice, or for quickly reviewing particular areas of Wwise you’re looking to brush up on.

The Wwise-101 Certification covers all the essentials you need to learn to get started with Wwise. You’ll practice audio integration workflows, create and mix virtual soundscapes, leverage sound triggering systems, and discover system performance optimization techniques. Becoming Wwise-101 Certified grants you the opportunity of getting listed on the Creators Directory as a Content Provider, where you’ll be able to list your services where developers and content providers source interactive audio talent!

The Wwise-201 Certification covers all the essentials you need to learn about Wwise for interactive music. You’ll understand how to create a dynamic score that can react to the player’s actions and changes to various circumstances in the game and learn how to implement custom created music while acquiring fundamental concepts such as re-sequencing and re-orchestration techniques, switching and transition systems, MIDI implementation using Wwise’s included synthesis and sampler tools, and dynamic music mixing. The Wwise-101 Certification is a prerequisite for the Wwise-201 Certification.

The Wwise-251 Certification covers a series of performance optimization techniques using Wwise. You will be able to apply course material and practice with the Wwise Adventure Game (WAG) while you learn to optimize performance for any platform, be it mobile, desktop, or console. We recommend that you take the Wwise-101 Certification prior to taking the Wwise-251 Certification.

The Wwise-301 Certification covers everything you need to know about the Wwise Unity Integration. This is an advanced certification that assumes you already have good knowledge of Wwise. It helps you leverage the existing Wwise Unity Integration, and learn how to develop new custom scripts satisfying the most complex interactive systems. Using the Wwise Adventure Game, you will learn how to achieve artistic and technical goals for any project using the Wwise Unity Integration.

Wwise samples are a great resource for exploring Wwise through practical examples! Get started with The Wwise Project Adventure, The Sample Project, and Cube; listed in order of difficulty. If you’re a more experienced user, you may want to check out Limbo.
