Soundcaster Controls

Determines whether the original or converted audio source is played back.

When selected, the object plays back in its original and pre-converted form. When unselected, the converted version of the object is played back, if one exists.

When you convert an audio file for a particular platform, it is converted to meet the specific hardware requirements of that platform. As a result, you may not be able to play back these converted files in Wwise when a platform, other than Windows, is selected. To test your converted files in Wwise, you can select the Windows platform for PCM, ADPCM, and Vorbis files, and the Xbox 360 platform for XMA converted files.

When selected, only objects included in the selected platform are playable in the Soundcaster.
