Book recommendations for Sound Engineering, Math

General JUCE discussion
1

Hello, I am a beginner to sound engineering, audio processing, sound design etc
Currently I am creating my own DAW-like app using JUCE (for personal use)

Could you please recommend me good books or internet web sites (links)
about
Sound Engineering, Audio Processing, Sound Design, Computational Music
which also may include Fourier, Wavelet and related math and numerical issues ??

Yes, several books are better, not just one book
I searched on google, amazon several times, but didn’t major in such areas, so failed to find good references (amazon shows several books, though)
(I just have BA background in math)

Thank you in advance

Free online material (but i finally bought them all :laughing:).

If you search for “DSP book” in the forum you will find others…

And if you speak french…

Hello, Nicolas
So, DSP is one of the main keywords ?
Thank you for your recommendations and kindness
I will search amazon etc, based on your advise
Have a nice weekend and see you, Nicolas

IMHO read the free books first to get an overview and fetch keywords.
Then go for more advanced stuff you are really interesting by.

Thank you
Perhaps, which departments in universities offer these courses?
Electric Engineering? or Computer Science?
Modern Music School?
I cannot find a department like “sound engineering” or “audio producing”

What I’ve found is, one of the professors has vitae as follows
BA, Electrical Engineering
M.M., Music Technology, New York University
M.S., Electrical Engineering, Stanford University
Ph.D., Computer-based Music Theory and Acoustics, Stanford University

No idea ; i’m french and i learned all by myself. :sweat_smile:

IMHO most of time the books from Schaum are cheaps and well done. I just bought the DSP related ones (but i didn’t read them for now).

Schaum really has some books about DSP, I found. They look very nice
So thank you again for all your help and see you, Nicolas

which departments in universities offer these courses?

Frost School of Music at University of Miami (Coral Gables, FL) has undergraduate (BS) and graduate (MS) programs in Music Engineering Technology: https://musicengineering.frost.miami.edu/degrees/index.html

Stanford has the excellent Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics which offers coursework for undergrad and grad levels, with specific degree options for Masters and PhD: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/

However, I can search their web sites and curriculum etc

See you again and Have a great weekend, Frank

FYI: I just read the Dwight F. Mix book about z-transform ; IMHO interesting for self-taught dudes like me. Probably not if you are an expert. But it helped me to understand things i didn’t get with others. Few bugs inside by the way (but reader should be able to fix them).

My 2 cents.

I can not find any erratum anywhere. :thinking:
