Résumé

An Introduction to Digital Audio allows you to master audio basics from first principles (the physics of sound and principles of hearing), then leads on to cover the fundamental digital techniques of conversion, compression and coding, as well as the processes involved in transmission, digital audio workstation technology, digital audio tape (DAT) and optical disks.

Written in a highly readable manner, the book demonstrates how digital audio is used within DVD recording, super audio CDs, digital audio editing, digital audio broadcasting (DAB), networked audio and MPEG transport streams. All the key technologies and applications are included, while oversampling, noise shaping and error correction theories are treated in a simple yet accurate form.

Based on the acclaimed and authoritative 'bible' on the subject, The Art of Digital Audio, this shorter, more introductory text covers all the essential aspects of digital audio production and will be indispensable to anyone seeking a comprehensive entry into the field. Thoroughly researched, clearly written and technically accurate, this book will provide the essential grounding you need to get started on the subject.

This fully updated second edition:

expands your knowledge with thorough treatment of digital audio for a wide range of disciplines
is clearly explained, with a minimum of maths for easy understanding
recognizes recent changes in the subject such as the dominance of disk-based recording and the introduction of computer networks
