Enable stream file

Question

Hi, I just started working with wwise. I see there is a function that is Streaming. It's very useful but I have too many audio files. Converting them manually is very time consuming. So is there any way to do it as fast as possible?
Thank you

Hi Duong, 

How do you normally convert your sounds? Have you tried right-clicking on the topmost parent container, then "Convert"? 
FYI, the shortcut is Shift+C or Alt+V for converting everything.  

That said, why do you need to convert the sounds? Did you consider just enabling the "original" toggle in the Transport Control so you won't have to convert while editing your sounds? In that case, you can always just disable it whenever you need to verify how it will sound in-game.
FYI, there's a lot more about converting sounds in the Wwise-251 course. 

Let us know how it goes!

Thank you. Your suggestion is to convert the audio. What I want is to turn on streaming for multiple sounds. And I did it

I guess you wanted to change the settings of the audio files into "streaming"? You can shift-click and select all the audio files you want to stream and right-click and then choose Show in Multi Editor. In the Editor, you can set the properties whatever you want and it will change all the settings of those files (actually they are Sound-SFXs instead of "audio files") simultaneously. It is not recommended to use streaming in most situations. Only use them on music and long ambient sounds. Btw sometimes you can also create a parent actor-mixer of the sounds in the same folder and make some settings on it so that the child containers or SFXs inherit the settings of the actor-mixer, with "Override Parent" unchecked in the children. But this is not the case of streaming since you are not able to set Streaming in an actor-mixer.
