 CRIWARE Unreal Engine plugin manual (html)

(2) How to use the CRI ADX Tools

The CRI ADX Tools are used to author and preview interactive audio data that will be played back by CRI ADX at run-time.
CRI ADX uses the ADX runtime library to play back the data files generated by the CRI Atom Craft tools on the target platforms.
In the CRIWARE SDK for Unreal Engine, the ADX runtime library is integrated as part of the CRIWARE Unreal Engine plugin.
