DESCRIPTION:
Readers will find The Audio Programming Book a trustworthy companion on their journey through making music and programming audio on modern computers.. 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. Designed to be used by readers with varying levels of programming expertise, it not only provides the foundations for music and audio
Richard Boulanger is Professor of Electronic Production and Design at the Berklee College of Music and editor of The Csound Book: Perspectives in Software Synthesis, Sound Design, Signal Processing, and Programming (MIT Press, 2000). Victor Lazzarini is Senior Lecturer in the Music Department and Director of the Music Technology Laboratory at the Nati
S Rosenbaum said 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 must get the DVD, there is a lot of great information on it."Good Resource, needs better editing." according to S Rosenbaum.

The book does start out on the right foot with an introduction to C. I think this is important because I think the bulk of people interested in this book are probably Digital Audio . .

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 horrible style and is devoid of comments.An example where multiple variables are declared using vague names:double r, rsq, rr, costh, scal;Or sometimes they use comments but the variable names are meaningless.:a = exp(-k/T); //calc the consta. Amazon Customer said Very helpful book!. 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 book is such an essential part of my library now and such a valuable resource in the world of DSP and what goes on in the engine of your favorite DSP environments. If you are interested in how Csound or Max works under the hood or just want to
That art will surely flourish further, thanks to their efforts. The contributors have done an outstanding job of communicating not only the technology but also the artistry of programming audio applications. There is an extrodinary demand for a book where computer science, digital signal processing, music synthesis, electronic music, and algorithmic composition all come together. Again, the material here should be useful to experienced programmers who are just beginning with digital audio, as well as to those w
