Digital Audio Signal Processing

Rating:
Summary: Best book for digital audio signal processing.
Review: There are a lot of books claiming to be books for digital audio signal processing. But usually you only get some information about what a CD is. Even if this book also covers some of these basic topics (number representation, A/D converters, digital audio interfaces), most of the book deals with previously unpublished (by books, papers on these topics exist) topics. E.g. it covers noise-shaping, gives you formulas for peaking and shelving filters used in mixing consoles, tells you how to implement a state of the art reverb or dynamic compression algorithm and explains how audio compression using psycoacoustic effects works. The mathematics are not that complicated, but you should already know what FFT or IIR stands for and how they work to be able to use the book.
