Dgtl Audio Theory A Practical Guide by Christopher L. Bennett

Dgtl Audio Theory: A Practical Guide bridges the fundamental concepts and equations of dgtl audio with their real-world implementation in an accessible introduction, with dozens of programming examples and projects.

Starting with dgtl audio conversion, then segueing into filtering, and finally real-time spectral processing, Dgtl Audio Theory introduces the uninitiated reader to signal processing principles and techniques used in audio effects and virtual instruments that are found in dgtl audio workstations. Every chapter includes programming snippets for the reader to hear, explore, and experiment with dgtl audio concepts. Practical projects challenge the reader, providing hands-on experience in designing real-time audio effects, building FIR and IIR filters, applying noise reduction and feedback control, measuring impulse responses, software synthesis, and much more.

Music technologists, recording engineers, and students of these fields will welcome Bennett's approach, which targets readers with a background in music, sound, and recording. This guide is suitable for all levels of knowledge in mathematics, signals and systems, and linear circuits. Code for the programming examples and accompanying videos made by the author can be found on the companion website, DigitalAudioTheory.com.
