Musical signal processing web aites

Started by David Dalton July 15, 2004
What are some good web sites that describe state of the 
art signal processing of analog and/or digital musical 
signals through hardware and/or software methods?  I
would like to know since I plan to improve on them.

Of course I could do a search engine search but those
on these sites are likely to know which are good, and
I request you to follow up here rather than e-mailing
me, partly so other readers can also see your reply.

I am setting followups outside of rec.audio.tech and rec.music.misc .

It's not my interest, so I don't know. I can tell you that some of the foremost experts in the field post here, so expect some good feedback. When you write that you intend to advance the state of the art, what do you have in mind?

I recall seeing a good bit of audio-related DSP algorithms and example code on <http://harmony-central.com/>, and for an onlone book on general DSP there's <http://www.dspguide.com>. Have you read Steiglitz' book "A Digital Signal Processing Primer/with Applications to Digital Audio and Computer Music"? Actually, what you're asking is pretty vague. There are MANY ways to "process audio" (just three of the most common things are EQ, compression and reverb) and many ways to do each process, giving diffeent parameters of control and resulting in different sounds (for reverb, there are plates, springs, BBD's, tape delay, and actual rooms made specifically for reverberation, and those are just some of the analog methods).

All of them?
>Of course I could do a search engine search
Actually, you should have done that first, so at least you've done some of your own research before asking us for our time.

In other words you're putting comp.dsp, rec.audio.pro and alt.sci.physics.acoustics in followups...

Have you got specific ideas or are you looking to investigate what can be done? Bob -- "Things should be described as simply as possible, but no simpler." A. Einstein

You're got rec.audio.pro on the posting list. there's a LOT of political talk there now, but if you filter that cruft out, you can't ask for a better group for knowledge of audio. DAGS for the SAE, which has many articles on all sorts of things audio related. Another good site is www.ethanwiner.com Truthfully, anything you've ever heard can now be done on a computer. The "trick" nowadays is whether you're gonna use your CPU cycles to process more channels or to do more processing. Check Harmony Central's list of FREE plugins for a general idea. It's no longer a question of "Can X be done" but rather of "Which plug-in that does X should I buy." Of course, there's no substitute (yet) for a top-notch player making his Strat wail shrough a Twin, but that's another topic alltogether.

Hi David, I would suggest http://www.dspdimension.com and http://www.musicdsp.com. --smb -- Stephan M. Bernsee http://www.dspdimension.com

I believe it's http://www.musicdsp.com. I'd also recommend my web site
http://www.dspdimension.com. Apparently my last post doesnt show up on
Google groups...

There are few technologies that I see as state of the art. As far as music is concerned I don't think analog technologies are advancing to rapidly, so the term 'state of the art' might not be the most fitting expression. There have been some recent advances in DSP, but they are not very spectacular. There should be more to come in the not to distant future. I think your best bet is to consult journal articles, and maybe some university websites. The most cutting edge area that comes to mind is that involving head related transform functions (HRTF). You might check out http://sound.media.mit.edu/KEMAR.html or search on HRTF for more info. Steve M.
