Hi! Could you recommend some literature on DSP for a beginner? I'm interested in how low/highpass filters for digital wave audio, audio encoders (mp3) and other stuff like that works. My initial knowledge is not much - I understand how wav files work (I've made a few tiny programs in C that make wav louder, convert stereo into mono etc.) and I have a basic understanding of programming.

ISBN 0-201-09518-1 It explains everything, and takes you by the hand through complicated things like the FFT algorithm.

Have a look there. Regards, Andor

The recommendations are well earned. His book is listed on DspGuru too, so I didn't call it out separately.

Rick, when is >this coming?Hi Randy, well, ... the plan (according to my publisher) is for the 2nd edition to be printed in March of this year. The 2nd edition is a modest expansion of some of the topics in the 1st edition, plus new material on quadrature signals and sample rate conversion (That phrase "sample rate conversion" is used instead of "digital resampling" because of you Randy.) The "Digital Signal Processing Tricks" Chapter has been expanded from 12 topics to 33 topics, thanks to what you guys here have taught me and other things I've encountered on the Internet and in magazines. The 2nd edition will have roughly 200 more pages than the 1st edition. See Ya', [-Rick-]
