Numbers & notes: An introduction to musical signal processing

An introduction to interpreting music in the digital era

ISBN: 978193563815-5

Digital analysis of music is typically difficult, with many variables and much mathematics in play. Numbers & notes: An introduction to musical signal processing seeks to illuminate in an accessible way the concepts behind audio compression, information retrieval, and acoustic design. At the core of such techniques lives the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), an historical construct that analyzes the frequencies contained in audio signals. The fast algorithm for the DFT—namely the celebrated FFT—is a special focus of the book. Given herein are actual code examples in C, MATLAB, and Mathematica.
