Detailed Description

Plug-in frontend instance.

A frontend contains the visual part of the Authoring plug-in. It is optional: for example, it is never instantiated when connecting through WwiseConsole. Therefore, do not implement any processing or business work in a frontend part.

For example, avoid using the frontend for handling licensing, SoundBank generation, audio processing, properties (such as validating ranges for property sets), media handling, media conversion, custom data loading, or other related work.

Note: In legacy plug-ins from before Wwise 2021.1, there is only one instance of the Authoring plug-in that contains both the backend and the frontend. This has changed for multiple reasons: to be able to instantiate a plug-in backend without any frontend, or alternatively, to instantiate multiple copies of a frontend for a unique backend.
