This 2nd Edition represents a revised and extended version, and offers an improved description as well as new issues and extended references. The content of this book is the basis of a course on Digital Audio Signal Processing at the Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg‐Harburg) and a course on Multimedia Signal Processing at the Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg. For further study, you can find interactive audio demonstrations, exercises, and Matlab examples on the website.
