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.
