Technical discussions related to Audio Signal Processing (digital effects, acoustics, noise reduction, musical signal processing, etc).
hi... I'm new in dsp field.Just a fresher working for Audio product based company. i have some queries please help me. 1. why we choose IIR filter design,for practical application,especially for processing audio signal. 2. Why not FIR? 3. Depending on the response there are many IIR filter(butterworth,bessel etc).Is there any sub division for FIR? 4. What are the disadvantage of FIR filter design over IIR? waiting for quick response with regards rammya______________________________

THOSE FILTERS COME FROM THE ANALOG COUNTERPARTS, SO BY MEANS OF BILINEAR TRANSFORM THEY BECOME IN AN IIR. >4.

Hello Rammya, The short answer is that IIR require less computing power. FIR are easier to design and less prone to instability compared to IIR filters that are more difficult to design and where poorly designed ones can suffer from stability issues. Hope that helps.

Rammya, you should probably acquaint yourself with the pluses and minuses of each filter type. IIR filters use few resources, and are logarithmic in their rolloff, therefore 'musical' by nature. But they are not phase linear, and cannot easily be made to be particularly sharp in their cutoff characteristics. They can also be unstable. FIR filters can conceivably be made to any shape, are inherently stable and can be made phase linear, but they are resource-hungry and not naturally 'musical,' since their rolloff is linear. These are the basics. Any good book can tell you more than you want to know.
