Title: Too Much Hype
Review: I do not believe that this is a very good book for programmers who are wishing to learn DSP. I'm sure this book is of value to a particular audience. Unfortunately, I'm not in that group. Here's my advice: if you want an explanation of how and why different audio effects function the way they do, if you want a general understanding to different DSP principles, or/and if you plan on writing your own code and need some type of direction, like a few brief examples (well-commented & an explanation of the source code), then DON'T BY THIS BOOK! As I began to look elsewhere to find the information I was looking for, I realized that this author failed to explain the topics. The source code was not even useful because there was not much of an explanation behind the work. Too much hype.
