This comprehensive handbook of mathematical and programming techniques for audio signal processing will be an essential reference for all computer musicians, computer scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in audio. Designed to be used by readers with varying levels of programming expertise, it not only provides the foundations for music and audio development but also tackles issues that sometimes remain mysterious even to experienced software designers. Exercises and copious examples (all cross-platform and based on free or open source software) make the book ideal for classroom use. Fifteen chapters and eight appendixes cover such topics as programming basics for C and C++ (with music-oriented examples), audio programming basics and more advanced topics, spectral audio programming; programming Csound opcodes, and algorithmic synthesis and music programming. Appendixes cover topics in compiling, audio and MIDI, computing, and math. An accompanying DVD provides an additional 40 chapters, covering musical and audio programs with micro-controllers, alternate MIDI controllers, video controllers, developing Apple Audio Unit plug-ins from Csound opcodes, and audio programming for the iPhone. The sections and chapters of the book are arranged progressively and topics can be followed from chapter to chapter and from section to section. At the same time, each section can stand alone as a self-contained unit. Readers will find The Audio Programming Book a trustworthy companion on their journey through making music and programming audio on modern computers. Review: An Excellent Resource - As a seasoned coder new to audio processing I give this book 5 big stars. It explains through numerous coding examples and projects all of the major aspects of coding for audio. It also provides cross-platform libraries you will find essential, as well as extra chapters not included in the book via the included DVD. I was able to synthesize my own sound waves, and even write my own wav file player within a week. That said I would not recommended this book to someone who is unfamiliar with coding. The authors do try to give an introduction to c programming, however I found that the examples in this book would be very difficult for a new programmer to be able to follow, let alone compile, given that there are many libraries which must be linked etc. Personally though, I loved that upon opening the book for the first time I could flip through the pages gingerly and see tons and tons of straight c code. The theory is there, but more importantly so is it's practical application, and that's what makes this book awesome. Review: Very helpful book! - I've just reviewed Designing Audio Objects for Max/MSP and Pd and referenced this book so it's only fair I review this as well. This book is not very beginner friendly despite the learning C chapters in the beginning. If anything it's more of a refresher on C. So, that being said I highly recommend this book as a pure beginner intro C Primer Plus (5th Edition) to C very big but thorough. This book is such an essential part of my library now and such a valuable resource in the world of DSP and what goes on in the engine of your favorite DSP environments. If you are interested in how Csound or Max works under the hood or just want to start trying to contribute to open source projects yourself this is such a great place to start! My appreciation goes to all of the authors involved in this project! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,715,561 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #98 in Speech & Audio Processing #204 in MIDI & Mixers #9,230 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 68 Reviews | ## Images ![The Audio Programming Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7103SZnPemL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Resource *by C***A on February 1, 2011* As a seasoned coder new to audio processing I give this book 5 big stars.

It has a C primer in Chp 1, then it goes into each of the cornerstones of audio programming... faders, effects, FFT,... everything! This is one hefty book. It should keep you busy for a long time. The enclosed DVD is also very thorough. Just get this book before you buy anything else. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1703914-the-audio-programming-book](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1703914-the-audio-programming-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
