Product Description
Review
"This is an extremely useful book for anyone involved in digital audio technology. Some of it will even benefit readers with more general interests, if they are technically involved." (Computing Reviews, March 6, 2009)
Product Description
A fully updated second edition of the excellent Digital Audio Signal Processing
Well established in the consumer electronics industry, Digital Audio Signal Processing (DASP) techniques are used in audio CD, computer music and multi–media components. In addition, the applications afforded by this versatile technology now range from real–time signal processing to room simulation.
Digital Audio Signal Processing, Second Edition covers the latest signal processing algorithms for audio processing. Every chapter has been completely revised with an easy to understand introduction into the basics and exercises have been included for self testing. Additional Matlab files and Java Applets have been provided on an accompanying website, which support the book by easy to access application examples.
Key features include:
- A thoroughly updated and revised second edition of the popular Digital Audio Signal Processing, a comprehensive coverage of the topic as whole
- Provides basic principles and fundamentals for Quantization, Filters, Dynamic Range Control, Room Simulation, Sampling Rate Conversion, and Audio Coding
- Includes detailed accounts of studio technology, digital transmission systems, storage media and audio components for home entertainment
- Contains precise algorithm description and applications
- Provides a full account of the techniques of DASP showing their theoretical foundations and practical solutions
- Includes updated computer–based exercises, an accompanying website, and features Web–based Interactive JAVA–Applets for audio processing
This essential guide to digital audio signal processing will serve as an invaluable reference to audio engineering professionals, R&D engineers, researchers in consumer electronics industries and academia, and Hardware and Software developers in IT companies. Advanced students studying multi–media courses will also find this guide of interest.

An accessible and comprehensive text on digital audio
16 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
I really liked the first edition of this book. The second edition is strange in a couple of ways. First, it is longer than the first edition, which is no surprise. Secondly, and surprisingly, it is about fifty do llars cheaper than the previous 1997 edition. The main things that have changed between the two editions are that this edition is more Java-centric than the last. Also, the only two chapters that have really changed much is chapter one, the introduction, due to changes in technology and equipment, and chapter nine, with its extra information on MPEG2 and MPEG4. If you already have the first edition and it doesn't bother you that you have a somewhat aged introductory chapter and you're not interested in MPEG, hold on to what you have. If you don't have this book yet, this new edition is definitely the way to go from both a quality and cost viewpoint.
This book covers, from more of an electrical engineering perspective, all aspects of digital audio signal processing in both hardware and software. Throughout the book Zolzer makes heavy use of figures and block diagrams, so to understand this book you should probably have an electrical engineering background with a previous course or experience in basic digital signal processing. Zolzer does not stop and take time to explain elementary concepts such as DFT's and Z-transforms. Computer science types might have a hard time understanding this book, since even in the algorithm portion of the book Zolzer makes heavy use of block diagrams and transfer functions to describe the various algorithms. You will not find code in this book. I particularly liked Zolzer's no-nonsense handling of room simulation and psychoacoustics. It was good to see a thorough signal processing perspective on these subjects rather than the non-mathematical recording engineer's viewpoint found in so many books. I highly recommend this book to any engineer familiar with digital signal processing who wants to see how to apply the theory to audio.

great audio processing book
1 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just bought the book, and read several chapters.
This is very useful book if you are an electrial engineering background and also new in audo signal processing area. Book contains a lot of useful information to start with. This is not a mathematical type of book. Author used a lot of plot and block diagram to introduce the concept, and then give very useful equations ready to implement.
