Sending Wwise audio output data to Unity

Question

I have spent a week researching the easiest way to pass audio data from Wwise to Unity in order to create audio visualizations. I find that the documentation on the Wwise SDK and WAAPI is a bit too heavy for my programming knowledge. Does anyone know of existing solutions, libraries, tutorials, git repos, anything that can point me in the right direction as to how I can access the Wwise audiobuffer without having to write my own Wwise plugin? I need to access audio data inside Unity to perform FFT and other processing for 3D audio visualization.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

you should create your own wwise effect plugin.

This isn't a helpful answer. Even following the documentation and tutorials, it's unclear how to pass an array of values from a Wwise plugin to Unity.

Answer 2

In short, there is no way to access the audio buffer from Unity's C# scripting layer.

You can make a crude spectral visualizer following these steps and repeating for the precision of bands that you would like, but audio buffers are exposed at the plugin level.

If I ever succeed in making an FFT plugin for unity I will post it here, link to my Github, and shout it from the hilltops.
