Synopsis:

Rare Book

Review:

This is one of the most important and exciting audio books I’ve seen in a long, long time. It tackles the hottest topic in the industry today―authoring plug-ins. Audio design has transitioned from a hardware world to a software one, and this book places you at the forefront of the revolution. It gives you all the tools you’ll need, from signal-processing theory to completed code, to fully understand and write C++ audio plug-ins. When you finish this book, you’ll be playing music through your own real-time plug-ins, and you will have acquired perhaps the most valuable skill set sought by today’s audio engineers.  ―Ken C. Pohlmann, Professor Emeritus, University of Miami

Finally, the keys to the digital kingdom are made available to all recording engineers. Learn how plug-ins work, gaining a deep understanding of their rich capabilities, tempered by an informed intuition about their sonic limitations. You’ll be a better user, and―should you be so inclined―you’ll build a better processor. That’s right. Designing Audio Effect Plug-Ins in C++ gives you the theory, the skills, the software tools, and the hands-on examples you need to build your own delays, reverbs, compressors, and more. Perfect audio effects―if you can’t buy ‘em, build ‘em.  ―Alex U. Case, author, Sound FX and Mix Smart (Focal Press)

This is a very practical introduction to digital audio signal processing that makes writing DSP plugins in C++ easy. The author brings a career of knowledge and experience to one easily understood and very un-stuffy book that takes the mystery out of a complex set of topics. Highly recommended.  ―Joe Bryan, audio guru and inventor of UAD-1 powered plug-ins
