Integrating Wwise in Unity without the Wwise project

Question

I need to integrate Wwise in a Unity project.
I don't want share the Wwise project itself because the sound design is done in one location and there's no reason to share the (big) Wwise project through the whole team, which is spread around the world.
I want to be able to build the game and target multiple mobile platforms but the build are done on Jenkins node in which I'd like not to install and maintain Wwise Authoring Software.

My understanding of the situation is that I should generate the soundbanks for all the target platforms in a target folder that I could add to the Unity project, and make a custom pre/post build process script to add the files to StreamingAssets.

That being said, the Wwise integration seems to work hand-in-hand with the Wwise project and it looks very inefficient to work without this link.

• The Wwise Picker doesn't seem to work without it
• So there's no intuitive way to load soundbanks like AkBankLoader does
• etc.

Is there a standard way to work with the Generated Soundbank instead of the Wwise project?

Hey Antoine, 

Maybe this One Minute Wwise will be helpful to you? https://youtu.be/hyle0TKvYTE
That said, you can definitely have a different SoundBank folder, and then the Wwise Unity integration will just fetch the SoundBanks from that location when you build. 

And no the Wwise picker won't work if the Wwise project isn't available, cause that's where it gets the data from.

Hope this helps.
