Selected Technical Bibliography

Below is a list of the books and articles that have been particularly useful while developing AudioMulch. The list is not complete, notable exceptions include many miscellaneous articles in Computer Music Journal (MIT Press), Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), Proceedings of the DAFX Conference, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (JAES) and Doctor Dobbs Journal. The music-dsp mailing list has also been an indispensable resource, you can find out about the music-dsp mailing list at their web site: http://www.music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp/

For a more musically oriented reading list, see Further Reading in this help file.
