[sdiy] DSP book recommendation wanted

[cheater cheater]

If you're looking for pure dsp, as in digital signal processing that
has nothing to do with how analog electronics *actually* work, you
can't go wrong with Julius Orion Smith's website:

http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/

it has his dsp course notes and references from his course on
stanford. I'm not sure if he goes into analog modeling somewhere in
there, so I can't comment on that. It's probably the best online
reference for DSP... and probably better than most books you'll find.

If you want to model analog electronics, read up on circuit analysis,
by doing this find out how to express circuits with differential
equations, and then read up on numerical methods of solving those
equations.
