4.2. ACE Studio Concepts
In ACE Studio, a Project consists of several layers of audio system hardware, software models,
and network configuration parameters. ASTi created these layers of information to extract all net-
working configuration and hardware specifics from the model, which allows the model to be
changed on the fly without having to reconfigure parameters.
In ACE Studio Projects, there are several layers to become familiar with. The first layer in a Proj-
ect is the Layout which contains the project’s configuration. Each Layout assigns the resources to
the Load. These resources include domains, comm plans, and sound repositories, etc. The Load
consists of sets of models created in ACE Model Builder. The model layers are similar to past
ASTi simulation models with components and primitives to drive the components. Currently,
each set of models is designated to run on a specific Target platform.
