Howdy,

It's been a while since I've reported anything, but I have some fun stuff to talk about.

For now, I'll just talk abou this book that I've gotten in the mail. It's called A Programmer's Guide to Sound. (click book images for Amazon.com links)

It's a pretty cool LOOKING book. I've had countless books on the subject, for example, Digital Audio processing:

And Digital Audio with Java:

    These books are cool, but I've had my issues with both. Digital Audio with Java was really nice, but was a bit outdated and I didn't want to bother consulting the java community to learn how to use the tools. I will one day, I won't make it a high priority though.

    Digital Audio Processing has some jewels in it, but you have to read LOTS before getting into the subject. Almost as if the author was being a bit overly conversational, in order to fill gaps in the book....too bad....

   A Programmer's Guide to Sound, has some nice looking CROSS-PLATFORM C++ libraries, as well as some USEFUL examples. I'd like to se a bit more detail in areas like waveform generation and sound formats, in the books that I buy, and  it looks like this book might have what i'm looking for. You'll know if it's true or not.
