This second edition is the result of an ongoing DAFX conference series over the past years. Each chapter has new contributing co-authors who have gained experience in the related fields over the years. New emerging research fields are introduced by four new Chapters on Adaptive-DAFX, Virtual Analog Effects, Automatic Mixing and Sound Source Separation. The main focus of the book is still the audio effects side of audio research. The book offers a variety of proven effects and shows directions for new audio effects. The MATLAB files can be found on the web site http://www.dafx.de.
I would like to thank the co-authors for their contributions and effort, Derry FitzGerald and Nuno Fonseca for their contributions to the book and finally, thanks go to Nicky Skinner, Alex King, and Georgia Pinteau from John Wiley & Sons, Ltd for their assistance.
