The Audio Programming Book (MIT Press)

There is an extrodinary demand for a book where computer science, digital signal processing, music synthesis, electronic music, and algorithmic composition all come together. An essential read, at the perfect time. (Jean-Claude Risset, composer)The essential reference in digital audio programming, linking the rich knowledge and techniques of our past and present to a rapidly evolving future, The Audio Programming Book provides its reader with a comprehensive body of programs and processes and teaches the programming skills and math

Exercises and copious examples (all cross-platform and based on free or open source software) make the book ideal for classroom use. An accompanying DVD provides an additional 40 chapters, covering musical and audio programs with micro-controllers, alternate MIDI controllers, video controllers, developing Apple Audio Unit plug-ins from Csound opcodes, and audio programming for the iPhone.The sections and chapters of the book are arranged progressively and topics can be followed from chapter to chapter and from section to section. This comprehensive handbook of mathematical and programming techniques for audio signal pr

Good Resource, needs better editing. First and foremost this, book is a great resource for understanding how to program audio. It is area is the severely lacking in the computing world, so every little bit helps.But there are some issues.1. If you get the Kindle version you don't get the accompanying DVD data. However, if you contact MIT Press, like I did, they are pretty good at getting you a copy of the disc for free. And you mus. Good book but needs a better editor. Ramirez Not so much a book as it is a collection of chapters that relate to the subject of programming audio applications. There isn't really a clear direction and subjects tend to change drastically from chapter to chapter. Still, it is full of really cool algorithms and contains lots of information (with great graphics) to get you started in audio DSP. My only real complaint is the example code uses h. "Very helpful book!" according to Amazon Customer. I've just reviewed Designing Audio Objects for Max/MSP and Pd and referenced this book so it's only fair I review this as well. This book is not very beginner friendly despite the learning C chapters in the beginning. If anything it's more of a refresher on C. So, that being said I highly recommend this book as a pure beginner intro C Primer Plus (5th Edition) to C very big but thorough. This bo
