Microsoft Cross-Platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT) provides a high level framework and tools for integrating audio resources into games. Audio designers typically use a commercially available linear audio editing package to develop the core audio elements—waves—for a game. After the waves are developed, designers can use XACT GUI or command line tool to package audio resources. Game developers can use the XACT API to integrate the packaged audio resources into the game.
XACT consists of the following components:
XACT API
Allows the integration of XACT audio resources into a game and provides methods for loading, playing and manipulating those resources. Developers will mainly interact with this part of XACT.
XACT GUI
Provides a graphical tool for packaging audio resources for use with the XACT API. Audio designers will mainly interact with this part of XACT.
XACT Command Line Tool
Provides a command line interface to the XACT audio packaging capabilities. The command line tool allows XACT to be integrated into a game's build process.
