Re: [chuck-users] Recommended books?

Thanks Brad and Kas, Done, I went for the first and last one. This is your brain on music sounds like a good read. "Real Sound Synthesis for Interactive Applications" looks like a good introduction. Tada, Carl On 05/08/07, Kassen wrote:

One of the primary author's of ChUcK, Perry Cook hisself, has several terrific books out. You might want to check:

"Real Sound Synthesis for Interactive Applications"

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9781568811680&itm=16

...

for a good intro into the theory behind sound synthesis and DSP. It includes a CD-ROM with the STK on it, the basis for a lot of CHuck dsp stuff.

Indeed! It covers a part of ChucK, easily fits in any bag and it's often funny. None of those can be said about mr. Road's "Computer Music Could You Please Check That Book In Because It Might Be Used As A Weapon".

That last one is still a excelent introduction to computer music making and after you've outgrown the introductory stage you'll find yourself using it as a reference. It's big, intimidating and at times a bit dated but I never heard about anyone regretting buying that one.
