I watched UE Fest 2022, last november.
There’s a Powerful plugin, ‘Audiolink’, collaborated with Audiokinetic; Wwise.
It provides a audio mixer, audio profiler which is very similar to Wwise’s one.
I just wodered, can we “COMPLETELY” replace ‘Wwise or FMOD’ with using ‘AudioLink’?
Because that audiolink’s profiler one, seems to be Very powerful as Wwise’s one.
UE Fest explains, audiolink; audiolink FOR wwise is a collaboration between UE5, Wwise.
here’s link.
My understanding is that Audio Link facilitates collaboration between UE Audio, middleware, and DAWs—it’s not just for Wwise (though that was the example demonstrated).
As such, it’s not a replacement for anything. It’s a new feature that enables creators to work with the tools they prefer while still working closely with the engine. In other words, you won’t have to choose between UE Audio, Wwise, or FMOD. You can use them together.
When you mention the profiler, are you referring to the Audio Insights feature they presented? That’s a separate feature from Audio Link, but I imagine it’s one they will try to support Audio Link with. Looking forward to more news, hopefully soon!
