Review

"...presents the main fields of digital audio effects..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)

From the Inside Flap

Digital Audio Effects (DAFX) is the name chosen for the European Research Project COST G6. DAFX 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 The approach of applying digital signal processing to sound will appeal to sound engineers as well as to researchers and engineers in the field of signal processing.

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

Als Nachrichtentechnik-Student, passionierter Hobby-Musiker und Tontechniker hat mir dieses Buch einen tiefen Einblick in das Funktionsprinzip von Audioeffekten/Digitaler Audiosignalverarbeitung ermöglicht. Dieses Buch deckt die Grundlagen und auch speziellere Themen ab. Von der Röhren-/Verstärkersimulation (Übertragungskennlinie) über verschiedene Verfahren der Raumsimulation (Nachhall), Modulationseffekten, virtueller Akustik (HRTFs, Spiegelschallquellenverfahren) bis zu Pitch-Shifting- und Timestretching-Algorithmen ist in diesem Buch alles enthalten und ausführlich erklärt.

Allerdings wird ein hohes Maß an mathematischen Vorkenntnissen (Systemtheorie, z.B. Fourier-Transformation, Filter, z-Transformation) vorausgesetzt. In den ersten Kapiteln werden zwar einige systemtheoretische Grundlagen erklärt, die mathematischen Zusammenhänge sind jedoch teilweise recht anspruchsvoll.

Positiv hervorzuheben ist die optische Aufmachung des Buches.

Alle Effekte/Algorithmen werden durch die Verwendung von Blockschaltbildern und Abbildungen erklärt. Zudem sind im Internet eine Reihe von buchbegleitenden Matlab-Beispielen zu finden, die die Arbeitsweise eines Effekts veranschaulichen. Insbesondere diese Beispiele geben eine erste Hilfestellung bei der Programmierung von Audioeffekten.

Es ist geeignet für technisch interessierte Anwender, die ihr Hintergrundwissen vertiefen möchten.

Es ist allerdings kein Buch der Art: "Wie stelle ich die Regler ein, damit es so und so klingt...".

Entwickler von Audiosoftware erhalten ein umfassendes Nachschlagewerk mit vielen Anregungen, wie man Audioeffekte implementiert.

Ein großes Manko ist allerdings der Preis! Es handelt sich zwar um kein Lehrbuch, aber er ist nicht gerade studentenfreundlich. Deshalb gibt es einen Stern Punktabzug.

Mehr als bei Zölzers Erstlingswerk stößt man bei diesem Werk schneller auf Grund. Er behandelt viele Themen von LTI, Modulated Delaylines, Non-LTI, Dynamics, Reverbration, Timestretching und Frequencydomain Transformations. Vielleicht zuviele Themen für ein Buch mit 500 Seiten. Die Themen sind allerdings alle gut durch Verweise zu Papers dokumentiert.

Alle Kapitel wurden von unterschiedlichen Autoren geschrieben. Die Matlabscripte könnten ein wenig Politur vertragen.

Trotzdem ist das Buch eine schöne Sammlung an Wissen, vor allem zum Einstieg in ein bestimmtes Thema.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for learning audio effect implementation
Reviewed in the United States on 11 November 2005
I have found this book invaluable from cover to cover. It is by far the best book written on the subject of digital audio effects in the last few years. Anyone purchasing this book should already understand digital signal processing in general as well as Matlab. Readers should also have been exposed to digital audio processing either through their own experience or perhaps through the author's other excellent book entitled "Digital Audio Signal Processing". If you do not have a background in DSP you will probably be in over your head with this book. It is not one of those dime-a-dozen books that are all too common about some off-the-shelf software that will enable you to make cool noises with your computer with minimum effort and understanding on your part. Instead, "DAFX" covers a great deal of ground, starting with a general overview of digital filters and then moving rapidly into audio specific filters, modulation, nonlinear audio processing, and spatial effects, just to name a few subjects that are discussed. There are plenty of equations, instructive figures, and block diagrams of filters throughout the book that should be easily understood by anyone with a signal processing background. The MATLAB files for many of the filters can be obtained via the author's website. If you download them, and examine both the MATLAB code and the book's explanations, you should be able to understand how to reproduce the effects discussed. The book does have an extensive bibliography at the conclusion of each chapter so that the reader can get more detail on some of the effects that the author left unimplemented.
