520 a| This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of acoustics, including the principle of human perception of sound, sometimes called psychoacoustics. This book is ideal for students of music technology, sound recording, traditional music and acoustics, as well as engineers studying audio, multimedia and communications systems. Gain a practical understanding of how real musical sounds behave and are perceived in real spaces with this accessible and interesting read. Subjects featured include: principles of sound; human hearing and psychoacoustics; musical timbre, pitch and loudness perception; sound generation in musical instruments; sound in different environments (architectural acoustics); processing sound electronically. This second edition provides new material on wave motion, brass and woodwind instruments, forward and backward masking, an introduction to coding, and diffusion. Additional references and marginal notes explaining basic terms are provided to aid understanding.;
