DESCRIPTION:
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 National Universit
(John Chowning, Professor of Music, Emeritus, the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford University)This book represents the meeting point of divergent lines of study that young computer musicians are desperate for. This is the only book you'll ever need if you want to learn to make your own plug-ins. I particularly like the way in which the authors treat Csound both as a tool and as a computer program whose internals are worthy of study and understanding. (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 to use the
The sections and chapters of thebook are arranged progressively and topics can be followed from chapter to chapter and from sectionto section. At the same time, each section can stand alone as a self-contained unit. Appendixes cover topics in compiling, audio and MIDI, computing, and math. Exercisesand copious examples (all cross-platform and based on free or open source software) make the bookideal for classroom use. Designed to be used by readers with varying levels ofprogramming expertise, it not only provides the foundations for music and audio development but alsotackles issues that sometimes remain mysterious even to experienced software designers. Fifteen chapters and eight appendixes cover such topics as programmingbasics for C and C++ (with music-oriented examples), audio programming basics and more advancedtopics, spectral audio programming; programming Csound opcodes, and algorithmic synthesis and musicprogramming. Readers willfind The Audio Programming Book a trustworthy companion on their journey through making music andprogramm
Good Resource, needs better editing. S Rosenbaum 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 . Good book but needs a better editor. 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 dev. 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
