Audio middleware was borne out of a need to free sound artists from programmer dependencies and allow for rich audio implementation in games with less coding.\u00a0 Each middleware technology developer approached this challenge with their own unique take on product design.\u00a0 There are two essential parts to every audio middleware product: the authoring tool that serves as the creative canvas for sound artists, and the audio engine that functions at runtime to playback that creative design.\u00a0 With many years of experience working closely with video game giants like Sega, CRI Middleware<\/a> chose to develop ADX2<\/a> with an emphasis on an authoring tool featuring an intuitive graphical user interface and streamlined workflow.\u00a0 This tool is called AtomCraft.<\/p>\n

The arrival of digital audio workstations (commonly called DAWs) like Avid’s Pro Tools in the early ’90’s revolutionized audio production.\u00a0 Amateurs and professionals involved in recording, editing, and designing sound were thrilled to see a visual representation of their work on a virtual timeline and perform non-destructive editing and processing.\u00a0 Suddenly, the obstacles inherent in working with analog authoring tools were blown away and new creative potential was unleashed.\u00a0 That same timeline concept is fundamental to the AtomCraft user interface. CRI’s chief AtomCraft programmer Tatsuya Suizu said that, “Our goal is to make the AtomCraft user experience as instinctive as the best pro audio DAWs.”<\/p>\n
