Audiokinetic Wwise

Wwise (Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine) is Audiokinetic's software for interactive media and video games, available for free to non-commercial users and under license for commercial video game developers. It features an audio authoring tool and a cross-platform sound engine.

Description
The Wwise authoring application uses a graphical interface to centralize all aspects of audio creation. The functionality in this interface allows sound designers to:
 * Import audio files for use in video games
 * Apply audio plug-in effects
 * Mix in real-time
 * Define game states
 * Simulate audio environments
 * Manage sound integration
 * Apply the Windows Spatial Audio API, or Dolby Atmos.

Wwise allows for on-the-fly audio authoring directly in game. Over a local network, users can create, audition, and tweak sound effects and subtle sound behaviors while the game is being played on another host.

Wwise also includes the following components:
 * Cross-platform sound engine (Wwise Authoring)
 * Multichannel Creator (allows creation of multichannel audio)
 * Plug-in architecture for source, effect, and source control plug-ins, part of Wwise Launcher
 * SoundFrame API
 * Wave Viewer (allows for sampling of WAV audio files)
