Audio Anecdotes is the title of a community contributed Audio Cookbook in the spirit of Andrew Glassner’s classic Graphics Gems series.
Please read our article solicitation, and topics list, to get a better idea of what is coming and how you can help.
If you are interested in contributing articles (see author’s guide), have questions or suggestions please contact me, Ken Greenebaum!
Sound is such an important part of our lives, and should get more attention in the computer space (in user interfaces, games, data mining, etc.) This book fills a wonderful void in providing a lot of small, introductory articles, useful for anyone interested in computational sound.
—Perry R. Cook, author of Real Sound Synthesis
