Working with layouts

A group of views can be arranged together to create a layout. Wwise contains several different default layouts that have been optimized to help you perform certain tasks or jobs. You can use different layouts depending on the job that you are doing. In addition, there are four user layouts, which you can personalize to support specific workflows without modifying any of the default layouts.

The following default layouts are available in Wwise:

  • Designer: Used to manage, build, and define the assets that make up the sound effect, dialogue, and motion portions of your game.

  • Profiler: Used to monitor and analyze the performance of game audio and motion elements as they occur.

  • SoundBank: Used to create, manage, and generate the SoundBanks for your project.

  • Mixer: Used to create prototypes and mix the various objects in Wwise.

  • Schematic: Used to examine a graphical overview of a project's structure.

  • Audio Object Profiler: Used to monitor and analyze the state of Audio Objects as they progress through the bus pipeline.

  • Voice Profiler: Used to monitor and analyze individual voices in your game.

  • Game Object Profiler: Used to monitor and analyze audio performance from the Game Object's standpoint.

To switch between layouts:

  1. From the menu bar, click Layouts > Layout Name.

    The new layout is displayed.

    You can also switch between layouts using the F5-F12 shortcut keys.

Resizing views within a layout

You can modify the default layouts by resizing the existing views within a layout.

To resize a flat view:

  1. Position the mouse pointer over the splitter bar between two or more views.

    The splitter bar becomes highlighted and the mouse pointer becomes a two-headed arrow.

  2. Drag the splitter bar to resize all views that reside along the highlighted splitter bar.

Adding/removing views from a layout

Although the factory layouts in Wwise have been optimized to make the workflow as efficient as possible, there might be cases when you want to add or remove a view from a layout. A view, whether it be floating or flat, will be part of a layout until it is removed.

To add a new view to a layout:

  1. From the menu bar, select Views > <View Name>.

    The selected view appears as a floating view within the layout.

  2. You can resize and move the floating view anywhere within your monitor(s).

    [Note]Note

    This floating view will always be displayed with the current layout until you close it.

To remove a view from a layout:

  • In the title bar of a floating or flat view, click the Close icon (X) to close the view.

    The docked view is removed from the layout and the remaining views are resized to fill the empty space.

Restoring layouts to their factory settings

After editing a layout, you might decide that you want to return to the default layout configuration. Wwise allows you to restore the default layouts at any time. Be aware, however, that there is no way to save an edited layout. So, when you restore a factory layout you lose any changes you made to the layout.

To restore the factory layouts to their default configuration:

  1. From the menu bar, click Layouts > Reset Factory Layouts.

    The Reset Factory Layouts dialog opens.

  2. Select the layouts that you want to restore to their default configuration.

  3. Click Reset Layouts.

  4. You will be prompted to confirm the reset. Click Yes.

    The selected layouts are restored to their default configurations.
