The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition provides supportive tools and exercises to help you understand how music sounds and behaves in different spaces, whether during a performance or a recording, when planning a control room or listening space, and how it is perceived by performers, listeners, and recording engineers.

With their clear and simple style, Howard and Angus cover both theory and practice by addressing the science of sound engineering and music production,...

• Gives precise guidelines on how to design the acoustics in venues that present amplified music
  
• Debates essential construction details, including placement of sound system and use of possible building materials, in the architectural design of new venues or the renovation of old ones
  
• Presents 75 well-known European Rock & Pop venues, their architecture, beauty and properties.
  
• 20 venues are rated for their acoustics by music professionals employing an easy-to-use assessment methodology

Popular music plays a substantial role in most...

This book reviews a variety of methods for wave-based acoustic simulation and recent applications to architectural and environmental acoustic problems.

Following an introduction providing an overview of computational simulation of sound environment, the book is in two parts: four chapters on methods and four chapters on applications. The first part explains the fundamentals and advanced techniques for three popular methods, namely, the finite-difference time-domain method, the finite element method, and the boundary element method, as well as alternative time-domain methods. The...

By exploring the many different types and forms of contemporary musical instruments, this book contributes to a better understanding of the conditions of instrumentality in the 21st century. Providing insights from science, humanities and the arts, authors from a wide range of disciplines discuss the following questions:

. What are the conditions under which an object is recognized as a musical instrument?

. What kind of (mental and physical) knowledge do we access in order to recognize...

This book focuses on opera house acoustics based on subjective preference theory; it targets researchers in acoustics and vision who are working in physics, psychology and brain physiology. This book helps readers to understand any subjective attributes in relation to objective parameters based on the powerful and workable model of the auditory system.

It is reconfirmed here that the well-known Helmholtz theory, which was based on a peripheral model of the auditory system, may not well describe pitch, timbre and duration as well as the spatial sensations described in this book, nor...

Model Validation and Uncertainty Quantification, Volume 3. Proceedings of the 33^rd IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Balancing Simulation and Testing, 2015, the third volume of ten from the Conference brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on:

Uncertainty Quantification & Model Validation

Uncertainty Propagation in Structural Dynamics

Bayesian & Markov Chain Monte Carlo...

Starting with the fundamentals of DSP methods and essential maths, this text focuses on DSP in room acoustic measurements, psycho-acoustics related filter design, machine audition (audio quality assessment), spatial audio and array technologies, surface acoustics and room design, audio pattern recognition, codecs and multi-platform delivery of contents. The book represents a new angle of application-oriented DSP techniques in audio. MATLAB is included with downloads available on the CRC site. Mini projects provide an in-depth look by researchers, professionals and students.
