Description
Provides an introduction to the nature, synthesis and transformation of sound which forms the basis of digital sound processing for music
and multimedia. Background information in computer techniques is included so that you can write computer algorithms to realise new processes
central to your own musical and sound processing ideas. Finally, material is inlcuded to explain the way in which people contribute to
the development of new kinds of performance and composition systems.
Key features of the book include:
· Contents structured into
free-standing parts for easy navigation
· `Flow lines' to suggest alternative paths through the book, depending on the primary interest
of the reader.
· Practical examples are contained on a supporting website.
Digital Sound Processing can be used by anyone, whether
from an audio engineering, musical or music technology perspective.
Digital sound processing in its various spheres - music technology,
studio systems and multimedia - are witnessing the dawning of a new age. The opportunities for involvement in the expansion and development
of sound transformation, musical performance and composition are unprecedented.
The supporting website (www.york.ac.uk/inst/mustech/dspmm.htm)
contains working examples of computer techniques, music synthesis and sound processing.
Audience:
Students on Music Technology related courses, computer musicians, multimedia designers, audio engineers, electronic engineers and computer scientists working in applied signal processing.
