Comments:

"Principles of Digital Audio has much of the best of both worlds in that it has breadth and descriptive clarity for readers to begin to understand the concepts and language of many different particular audio topics and enough detail and depth to enable them to put the information to some serious use.... Everyone can gain something from this book."
