The Generating SoundBanks dialog boxes are fundamentally the same, but they have different tag names to indicate their current status. So, while processing, the dialog is tagged "In Progress"; when stopped, a "Stopped" tag is added; and when the process completes, the tag is "Completed". So, you may start with a Generating SoundBanks - In Progress dialog and finish with a dialog entitled Generating SoundBanks - Completed.
All variations of these dialog boxes have three panels of information, detailed in the table below, which display:
- the progress of different operations run during the file conversion process;
- the results of the different SoundBanks' generation; and
- a log of the process, including messages and warnings if something goes or could potentially go wrong.
During the process, the top panel has a primary progress bar that displays the overall progress as well as a set of secondary progress bars for each file that is being converted. The number of secondary progress bars will depend on the number of processing cores on your machine. Wwise uses each processing core to convert the files in your SoundBank, making the generation process as fast as possible. The Log panel displays information about the generation process including the status of the generation and any errors.
You can stop the generation process at any point. When the generation is interrupted, Wwise automatically displays the Generating SoundBanks - Stopped dialog box, which is the same dialog except that a red-font "Stopped" replaces all the operations listed in the upper panel. You can still see the Results and review the Log for any issues that appeared before stopping the generation.

Operation |
As the SoundBanks are being generated, this column displays the name of each task that is being performed. When the generation process is complete, the word “Completed” is displayed. |
|||
|
Progress |
As the SoundBanks are being generated, this column contains a series of progress bars that display the progression of the SoundBank generation process. A primary progress bar displays the overall progress of the SoundBank generation. A series of secondary progress bars display the progress of each operation being performed as part of the SoundBank generation. If your machine has a multi-core processor, each core will be used to convert the files in your SoundBank and will have its own progress bar. This column is empty when the generation is complete. |
