XNA Audio Xact

This module discusses using audio in XNA and MonoGame projects. It focuses on using the XACT tool to prepare audio assets. XACT stands for Cross-Platform Audio Creation Tool. The Wave Bank in an XACT project contains the actual wav files. Separate Sound Banks allow manipulating sound properties without modifying the source wav files. Cues are separate so sounds can be randomly selected to play for a particular cue.
