Read reviews that mention dsp pohlmann signal field processing chapter coding text topics knowledge technical covers conversion dvd engineering reference useful college explain subject. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. First off, this book is in its fifth edition, and Amazon has lumped together reviews of all editions of this book.

So the oldest review shown, written in , is speaking of the 3rd edition, and reviews written prior to are talking about the 4th edition. This book is more about the principles of digital audio hardware design than anything. The author, also a college professor, starts with the absolute beginning and the binary number system, sampling, quantization, aliasing, and dither and then moves into all of the topics that you need to design and analyze modern digital audio systems. However, if the information in the first two chapters is news to you, chances are the rest of the book will be over your head.

The book is full of flow charts, frequency response diagrams, and detailed block diagrams of actual systems. What it is lacking in is any kind of signal processing mathematics to explain the detailed theory behind what is being covered. There is a chapter entitled "Digital Signal Processing", but it barely introduces and defines the terms. It does show some assembly code for performing some simple filtering tasks, though, but that's the extent of the coverage.

If you didn't know DSP before you read this chapter, you certainly won't know it after you read this chapter. The book does a pretty good job of discussing some of the more popular audio standards including MP3. Amazon shows the table of contents from the 4th edition, so I show the detailed table of contents for the 5th edition here: A very well written book for someone who has a real interest in understanding how digital audio works.

It is best to have some background in the subject to get the most out of the book. Remember that this is a textbook so plan to go slow and be willing to devote some "serious" time to its study. It has anything and everything. From basic DSP to video, it's not limited to audio topics. When I read the reviews, I would not hope to read the book from the start, just use it as a reference to explain specific standard highlights. But this book is very readable. If you are a computer eng. I don't agree with the prejudice that the book is not very readable.

There are sections that are more difficult, but the author explains things in very good analogies and examples. I must mention that I'm a comp. Don't think, buy it. Then try and conceal this secret gem from others. The Nuts and Bolts of Sound. When this book drops into your lap, you will feel the weight of it. My Audio Engineering teacher told me that if you wanted to know everything about sound, then buy this book.

I don't think I will ever understand everything in this book What does it cover? And its very heady and codey. Is that a word? So, if you are a GEEK for sound, you will love this book. If you are not Not real heavy on theory, but a good overview nonetheless. One person found this helpful.
