Unleash your creativity with a full-featured audio system

From the creation of complex sound behaviors to the composition of interactive music, from digital sound processing and mixing to dialogue localization, ADX provides all the functions of a full-featured game audio middleware and then some.

Many cue types, sound selectors, RTPCs, categories, 3D positioning, auto-ducking, adaptive music...

Empowers both sound designers and audio programmers

Sound designers can have full control on the audio of the game, and programmer too. Distribute the audio tasks based on the skillset of your team and the type of project. Want to duck the music when the dialogue starts? You can do it in one click in the tool or in one line in the code.

Outstanding performance from console to mobile

ADX's fully-optimized engine helps you make the most of every platform while staying lightweight. Its high-quality proprietary codecs (ADX, HCA and HCA-MX) let you multiply the number of voices simultaneously playing.
