signal processing read list


(740)
    for supercollider afaik the most known is “the supercollider book”.
    Then there's good books about sound design for csound or pure data:
    “the audio programming book” by richard boulanger
    “designing sound” by andy farnell
    “the electronic music tutorial” by curtis roads

    The supercollider mailing list is also reasonably active. I don't know much 
    about books targeting video games although I've seen some

    In no particular order, here are my recommendations:

    - A Digital Signal Processing Primer by Ken Stieglitz
    - Everything written by Julius O Smith III (should all be available on his 
      website - last I checked he had 4 excellent books and dozens of articles 
                                                            on there for free)
    - Digital Filters for Everyone by Rusty Allred
    - Game Audio Programming by Guy Somberg (also probably the 2nd volume 
                                          although I haven't read it yet)
    - Audio Effects: Theory, Application and Implementation by Joshua D. Reiss
    - Real Sound Synthesis for Interactive Applications by Perry Cook
    - Microsounds by Curtis Roads
    - Head-Related Transfer Function and Virtual Auditory Display by Bosun Xie 
                             (careful with this one, it's quite dense and dry)
    - A Wavelet Tour of Signal Processing: The Sparse Way by Stephane Mallet
    - The Scientist & Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing 
                                                 by Steven W. Smith

    My bias for game audio is pretty obvious, but there are still some cool 
    things to pick up even from the games-specific stuff. Some of these books 
    also overlap with one another, so you may not need to read them all cover to
    cover. You should also probably check out the math surrounding AM/FM/CM 
    synthesis, Ambisonics, Feedback Delay Networks, and Digital Waveguides. 
    I also have more specific recommendations for programming libraries and 
    tools if you plan to work in C++.

    Also don't be scared by the breadth of topics here. There's a lot of 
    challenge but also a lot to explore and a lot to love. If something is too 
    challenging for you at whatever level you're at, try a different book or 
    topic (even if it's completely unrelated) and come back to it later. I've 
    done that a lot while reading through the above

    For C++ libraries look into portaudio, midifile (http://midifile.sapp.org), 
    and JUCE
