How can I create random value silence between music tracks in a playlist container?

Question

I want to have a music playlist containing several tracks playing randomly one after the other and have random silence between each track. Let's say I want to set silence with a duration between 10s and 30s that Wwise will determine randomly. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Create a music segment with no audio.  You could for example make it a 1 second segment and have it loop 10-30 times.

Thanks a lot, it's working like a charm :)

This was helpful for me to figure out how to get a random interval of silence into a music playlist, thank you.

To expand on your answer and to address the other part of Kim's question, if you want to have this silence play after each randomly selected track in the playlist, you can use nested groups within the Music Playlist editor.

For example, if you have two tracks you want to randomly select with a random length silence after them:

Random Continuous Group (Top parent) - Loop Count Infinite
    Sequence Continuous Group (Weight 50, loop count 1):
       Track 1 Segment
       Randomized Silence Segment
    Sequence Continuous Group (Weight 50, loop count 1):
       Track 2 Segment
       Randomized Silence Segment

You can add new groups in the right-most column of the Music Playlist Editor of WWISE 2019.2.13. I assume similar in other versions. Then you can use these groups hierarchically like in the above example to achieve the desired design.
