Rezensionen

"Your background in music, sound, and recording makes you a power-user of digital audio signal processors. Wouldn't you like to understand what's going on inside those converters, delays, filters and more? Don't you want to know what to listen for when it's time to choose which one to use? And don't you sort of want to create your own FX? Me too. There is the calculus and coding way into this, and then there is Christopher Bennett's way in. If you want to understand digital audio theory - to have mastery of the theories and intuition about the possibilities - you don't need an engineering degree, you need this book."

Alex U. Case, Sound Recording Technology, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Past President of the Audio Engineering Society, and author of Sound FX: Unlocking the Creative Potential of Recording Studio Effects and Mix Smart: Pro Audio Tips for Your Multitrack Mix

"This book is part of a fresh approach to the challenges that aspiring audio programmers face. Rather than serving as a reference manual, Bennett presents Digital Audio Theory as part of a journey, supplementing the reading material with over 30 video tutorials and code samples. It is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the fundamentals of signal processing. The explanations are clear and well thought out - easy enough for those with a casual math background to follow along, but challenging enough to introduce concepts that reach beyond algorithms covered by other books. Highly recommended!"
