Title: Excellent resource on digital audio
Post by: cbuchner1 on 2001-10-27 06:44:14
I found a darn good text/summary about digital digital audio, coding, transmission, error correction, etc...

Title: Digital Audio CD and other Selected Digital Technologies
Author: Michael C. McGoodwin

For all those who sometimes have problems following some "tech talk" in this board , this might be a good start to catch up knowlege-wise.

The latest chapters are not yet finished, obviously. But the first chapters contain some really good collection of information.

Enjoy.

Hmm... that's the book I bought a couple of months ago. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the subject.

Question for the people who have this book:

Does chapter 10 Perceptual Coding give a very good and detailed anaylis of all the aspects of mp3?  I want more information on the hybrid-filterbank etc... and want to know if this book is worth it....

Maybe MP3 the definitive guide is a better book?

The book doesn't really go into details about how to apply perceptual psychoacoustics. But for things like hybrid filters, there other other sections covering it.
