[sdiy] DSP books [was: Re: OBJECT ORIENTED C in synth programming]

[Noah Vawter]

oh gosh yes I wish there was, too.  A great many of us I have  
discovered, learn best with actual arithmetic/numerical examples.   
Don't ask me why, but I suppose us types have an intuitive, yet  
limited understand of numbers.  The same seems true of me and analog  
electronics.  anyway, that reminds me of a 2nd book I like.  It's free  
online:  http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm

cool thing about that one, besides free, is that it has many examples  
written in basic!  so you can try them in your favorite language (or  
basic) and see the numbers yourself and learn that way.  it is also  
very thorough and has helped me with a great number of lessons.

Oh yeah, the closest I have seen to a cookbook is RBJ's famous biquad  
cookbook:  http://www.musicdsp.org/files/Audio-EQ-Cookbook.txt
It tells exactly in cookbook fashion how to make LPF, BPF, HPF, and  
several other filters!  I have used this many times!
