of the 3rd edition: "Principles of Digital Audio has much of the
best of both worlds in that it has breadth and descriptive clarity for readers to begin to
understand the concepts and language of many different particular audio topics and enough
detail and depth to enable them to put the information to some serious use.... Everyone
can gain something from this book." University of Miami - Music Engineering - Coral Gables, FL |
