Atom Sound Renderer
Methodologies of decoding compressed data or effect signal processing vary depending on the platform.
On platforms with a high processing power like PC, PlayStation3, or Xbox360, the signal processing is done by software, "Atom sound renderer."
On platforms with sound hardware, effects and mixings are done by the hardware.
Data compressed using the platform-specific codec is decoded by the hardware, and data compressed using CRI proprietary codec is decoded by the software.
