This method applies if:
Of course, most games don't have memory to waste, but this technique has the significant
advantage of being very simple to use and maintain. The main reason for using this
technique is to have the entire Wwise project integrated in the game in a minimum
amount of time.
To create the all-in-one SoundBank in Wwise:
Create one SoundBank, and name it appropriately.
Load the SoundBank into the SoundBank Editor and then drag the following
items into the "Add" tab:
The "\Actor-Mixer Hierarchy\Default Work Unit"
The "\Events\Default Work Unit"
The "\Interactive Music Hierarchy\Default Work Unit" (Only required if using interactive music)
The "\Dynamic Dialogue\Default Work Unit" (Only required if using dynamic dialogue)
The check boxes under the Events, Structures, and Media columns are all
selected by default. This is good because, for this method, we want
everything to be included in the SoundBank.
| Note |
---|
In a new project, only the default Work Unit is available. If more Work Units are created, these Work Units can also be added to the SoundBanks as required. |
After all the Work Units have been added to the SoundBank, you can generate it and then copy the generated SoundBank folder to the game application.

The following table lists the pros and cons of the all-in-one SoundBank method.
Even though this method is a good way to quickly and easily integrate the audio and motion in your game, don't wait until the end of the project to switch to a method that makes better usage of your game's memory.
