This is a new edition, in paperback, of Ken Pohlmann’s classic survey of the compact disc world, The Compact Disc: A Handbook of Theory and Use, and celebrates the tenth birthday of possibly the most successful consumer electronics product ever introduced. The phenomenal success of the compact disc - currently over a billion copies are sold each year - has encouraged rapid development of compact disc technology and spawned entirely new applications for it. The text of this new edition has been thoroughly overhauled to take note of all these developments; in addition there is more information on the laboratory origins of the compact disc and the principles underlying the format. It remains a comprehensive and authoritative handbook by an acknowledged expert on digital audio and related topics.

The Science and Applications of Acoustics

The Science and Applications of Acoustics
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 660 | 2006-01-04 | ISBN: 0387260625 | PDF | 5 MB

This textbook treats the broad range of modern acoustics from the basics of wave propagation in solids and fluids to applications such as noise control and cancellation, underwater acoustics, music and music synthesis, sonoluminescence, and medical diagnostics with ultrasound.

The discussion begins with a historical overview. It then turns to a derivation of the wave equation from the fundamental equations of motion for fluids and for solids, with solutions of the equation in open air and in bounded media such as strings, bars, membranes, and pipes. Sound filters and electric analogs for sound propagation are also treated. A chapter on measurement techniques provides a comprehensive survey of the means of evaluating sound levels and frequency content of signals. A section of the physiology of hearing and psychoacoustics includes recent findings on how the human ear functions. The remainder of the book deals with a wide variety of applications including architectural acoustics; enclosures and barriers; noise codes and regulations;, and methods of noise control; underwater acoustics; ultrasound; vibration control; and music, musical instruments, and reproduction of music

Spatial Audio

Spatial Audio
Publisher: Focal Press | Pages: 256 | 2001-07 | ISBN 0240516230 | PDF | 3 MB

Explores the principles and practical considerations of spatial sound recording and reproduction. Particular emphasis is given to the increasing importance of multichannel surround sound and 3D audio, including binaural approaches, without ignoring conventional stereo.
The enhancement of spatial quality is arguably the only remaining hurdle to be overcome in pursuit of high quality sound reproduction. The rise of increasingly sophisticated spatial sound systems presents an enormous challenge to audio engineers, many of whom are confused by the possibilities and unfamiliar with standards, formats, track allocations, monitoring configurations and recording techniques.
The author provides a comprehensive study of the current state of the art in spatial audio, concentrating on the most widely used approaches and configurations. Anyone wishing to expand their understanding of these cutting-edge technologies will want to own this book.

Keep up to date with the latest technology - 3D audio, surround sound and multichannel recording techniques
Enables you to cut through the common confusions and problems associated with the subject
Further your knowledge with this comprehensive study of the very latest spatial audio technologies and techniques

The Theory of Sound, Volume One

J. W. S. Rayleigh, Robert B. Lindsay, "The Theory of Sound, Volume One: Unabridged Second Revised Edition"
Dover Publications | 1976-06 | ISBN: 0486602923 | 480 pages | PDF | 56,6 MB

This is one of the first (apart from the Helmholtz's 'sensations of tone' and Tyndall's 'sound') books published in the field of acoustics. Many of the topics in this book are the research results of Lord Rayleigh himself. The book is written in a very logical manner. Any acoustician who wants to understand physical principles should start with Rayleighs work. Although some of the results from this book are well established and used by some of the advanced prediction computer codes (Rayliegh's quotient e.t.c) today, the devolopment of the theory fascinates us to understand and use the codes well.

Mixing with your Mind by Michael Paul Stavrou

Mixing with your Mind by Michael Paul Stavrou
ISBN 0646428756 | Published by Flux Research | English | 2003 | Scan to PDF | 153 Pages | 56.4Mb

Michael Stavrou clearly knows how to get great sounds on record. Even if he hadn't engineered for big names such as Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Cat Stevens, Sir George Martin's glowing foreword to Mixing With Your Mind would leave me in little doubt as to his credentials. In his book, Stavrou collects together a generous fund of engineering tips, tackling not just mixdown, but the recording process as well.
