Where's the beef?
Too much outdated irrelevant information.Watkinson IS extremely knowledgable on the subject of digital audio.I guess I expected something different.Too much esoteric (and much outdated) theory and very little if any practical information, unless maybe your job is to service 1980's digital audio systems.
Well written technical overview, short of the computer age
The Art of Digital Audio is well written and informative technical overview of digital audio, except that being a mid 1990s book, it almost completely omits detailed coverage of some topics (like MPEG audiocompression) that would nowadays have to be considered critical.It isnonetheless an essential component of the well informed digital audioengineer's library.There is a *lot* of stuff in this compendium that youwould otherwise have to find scattered over a dozen other books. One hopesa revision for the twenty-first century is in the works.

copyright 1894^H^H^H994.
This book has all the details of doing digital audio, starting with banging two rocks together to start a fire, and quickly progressing to the development of western civilization. ... ok, it's not *quite* that bad. Butthere is precious little relevant information to any modern project. Whenyour car's mp3 player is running Linux, who cares that Gray codes are theway to go for digital tape positioning? Who needs to be told that you mightwant to think about doing a calculation in RAM instead of with discretedigital components? There's a good chapter on "advanced digital audioprocessing". And it explains basic things about dithering, mixing,gain control, etc. But on the whole this book is very geared towardantiquated hardware, rather than presenting theories or algorithms that arerelevant to all digital systems. I guess that's why it's the"art" and not the principles of digital audio. In the index youwill find "cylinder transducer", but not "pitch" or"tempo". ... Read more
