DSP book recommendations

Started by ft February 1, 2004
I'm a musician and engineer and would like to start
on DSP programming on audio on the Win platform.
Can you recommend good books to start with.  I
have a grasp of audio file formats and some basics of
the Fourier transforms. Despite that I would like to start
studying the DSP from the scratch with the math
described down to the detail as it's been a long [nope,
longer than that;-)]  time since I opened my college
math books. One(s) that describe both the Fourier and
polynomial methods would be great.

thanks,
Risto

the many engineers on this liost will no doubt suggest the main technical 
literature. For the musician, I can recommend Ken Steiglitz's book "A digital 
Signal Processing Primer", ISBN 0-8053-1684-1, which relates things directly to 
digital audio and computer music.

You might also like to subscribe to the music-dsp mailing-list (see 
http://shoko.calarts.edu/musicdsp ).  Lots of book reviews on the website, plus 
code archive, etc.

Hi!!

Try the www.dspguide.com, you can download the whole book in pdf format.
Everything is very well explained in there..

Good luck!!

Richard  and Vincent, thanks both of you.
After these I propably know more what
I don't know;-)  -risto

Once you get advanced after reading first two books, I would recommend you also the Zolzer's Digital audio effects book (ISBN: 0471490784). It is good start for audio processing and audio effects. There is also a very short introduction to DSP, but this introduction chapter is really brief. Wish you good reading Lenka Koskova-Triskova ---------------------------------- e4t electronics for transportation tel/fax: +420 2 663 15 746 e-mail: Lenka.Koskova@e4t.cz
i've think "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" by Richard Lyons
is really excellent...

i'm not sure how applicable it is for music stuff but if you want to
develop a feel for how the FFT, FIR filters etc etc actually work then
this is a great book...

Hi Declan, My Mother agrees with you. She likes Lyons' book a lot. If Risto can way wait a little while, a second (and expanded) edition should be available in late March-early April of this year. It will worth the wait. Thanks, [-Rick-]

Hey Rick, Could you give us more details about the expanded edition? Thanks, -- Georgi

Hi Georgi, well, ... the 2nd edition expands a bit on several of the topics covered in the 1st edition, such as FIR and IIR filters, and the DFT. The 2nd edition's new material includes: * New "quadrature processing" coverage including three-dimensional drawings to help the reader understand these two-dimensional quadrature (I/Q) signals. This is a tricky subject for beginners in signal processing, so my coverage is gentle, thorough, and practical. I explained, my understanding of, the origin and meaning of the mathematics of quadrature signals as carefully as I could. * Coverage of the Hilbert transform (theory and practical implementations) with regard to generating an analytic (quadrature) signal from a real signal. * New material on not-so-well-known FIR filters called: "frequency sampling", "interpolated FIR" filters. These computationally efficient linear-phase FIR filters deserved coverage in a textbook. * New coverage of multirate systems; including both an introduction to polyphase filters and a fairly detailed description of cascaded integrator-comb FIR filters. * The 1st edition had a dozen "tricks" in the "DSP Tricks" chapter. I've expanded that chapter so it now contains 33 separate DSP tricks. (I'd say 10-12 of those tricks are clever processing schemes that the guys here on comp.dsp taught me. And, of course, I acknowledged the appropriate people.) I included the people (collectively) on comp.dsp in both the "Dedication" and "Acknowledgments" of the 2nd edition's Preface. I did that to let you guys know how much I appreciated all that's transpired here on comp.dsp. [-Rick-]

Does it have an ISBN yet or enough other specification that one might place a pre-publication order? Is it even possible? I have a preferred "brick-n-mortar" bookstore.
