Currently most of these links lead nowhere due to the fact that we are considering how to best convert the old material and how to reorganize things in a more efficient manner.

Audio Development

Getting Started

note: Let's start with basic development tools (compilers, engineering tools, dev. libraries) until we think of more tools to add. I am also adding external links to books, tutorials, etc under resources.

Tools

  • MATLAB 7.0 commercial software for algorithmic design, developement, engineering, and scientific computing.
  • GNU Octave open-source alternative software (GPL) to MATLAB for numerical computations, engineering, and scientific computing. (multi-platform support)
  • FFTW Is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions on real and complex inputs.
  • GCC THE GNU compiler collection for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada.
  • DevCPP free front-end IDE and compiler for the C and C++ languages. Delphi and C source code available.

Resources

  • Scientific/R&D Forums for Psychoacoustic, DSP, Electrical Engineering, theory, and coding related questions. (most questions are generally answered)
  • AES The Audio Engineering Society website. Home of year-round world AES conferences.
  • Psychoacoustics - Facts and Models author's Zwicker, Fastl, and Hugo, revised 1999 second edition. THE book for comprehensive psychoacoustics models and figures.
  • Scientist and Engineer's Guide to DSP author Steve Smith, a great guide for beginners new to the subject of DSP (free online text)
  • DSP Tutorial this site provides another good introduction in to the area of DSP.
  • Music-DSP source-code archive for anaylsis, filters, effects and synthesis. (C, C++, and Java code)
  • ALSA Project (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) bringing audio and MIDI capabilities to Linux.
  • A Really friendly guide to Wavelets A good introduction to wavelets aimed towards engineer, requires a fair amount of background knowledge.
