DAFX - Digital Audio Effects

Digital Audio Effects (DAFX) is also the name chosen for the European Research Project COST G6 which investigates the use of digital signal processing, its application to sounds, and its musical use designed to put effects on a sound. The aim of the project and this book is to present the main fields of digital audio effects. It systematically introduces the reader to digital signal processing concepts as well as software implementations using MATLAB. Highly acclaimed contributors analyse the latest findings and developments in filters, delays, modulators, and time-frequency processing of sound.

Features include:

• Chapters on time-domain, non-linear, time-segment, time-frequency, source-filter, spectral, bitstream signal processing; spatial effects, time and frequency warping and control of DAFX.
• MATLAB implementations throughout the book illustrate essential DSP algorithms for sound processing.
• Accompanying website with sound examples available

DAFX - Digital Audio Effects features contributions from Daniel Arfib, Xavier Amatrain, Jordi Bonada, Giovanni de Poli, Pierre Dutilleux, Gianpaolo Evangelista, Florian Keiler, Alex Loscos, Davide Rocchesso, Mark Sandler, Xavier Serra, and Todor Todoroff.
