Presets are a specific set of property values, related to an object, Effect, Positioning,
Attenuation, or Metadata, that are saved into a special file so that they can be reused at a
later time within the same project. By using Presets, you don't have to recreate particular
property setups that you want to reuse for other objects in your project. All you have to do
is set up the property values once, save the Preset, and then apply it to the other objects in
your project. You will save time and effort by working more efficiently.
| Note |
---|
Unlike ShareSets, the property values in a Preset cannot be shared across objects. |
The Preset icons appear in the title bar of each view where Presets can be saved and
loaded.
Since you can save Presets for object properties at different levels within the project
hierarchy, it is important to know what elements are saved with each Preset. The following
table describes all the Presets along with the information that is saved.
You can save Presets for any of the following elements in Wwise:
Property values and settings for objects and sources within the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy and Interactive Music Hierarchy
Positioning values
Attenuation settings
Effect values in the Effect Editor
Metadata values in the Metadata Editor
When you save Presets, Wwise saves every value on every tab within the view. When a Preset is saved, it is grouped according to one of the following categories:
When you open the Save Preset dialog, the Presets will be filtered to show only those Presets that are in the same category.
To save a Preset:
From the view title bar, click the Save Preset icon.
The Save Preset dialog opens.
In the Name field, type the name of the Preset.
In the Notes field, type any information that further describes the Preset.
Click Save or press Enter.
The Preset is saved and can be re-used at any time within the same project.
After you have saved your Presets, you can apply them to other objects, Effects,
Positioning, Attenuation, or Metadata within your project.
When you open the Load Preset dialog, the Presets will be filtered to show only those Presets that are in the same category.
To load a Preset:
From the view title bar, click the Load Preset icon.
The Load Preset dialog opens.
Select a Preset from the list.
Click Load or press Enter.
The Preset is applied to the object.
If you no longer need a Preset, you can delete it.
To delete a Preset:
From the view title bar, click the Load Preset icon.
The Load Preset dialog opens.
