Thanks for the pointer - I've been looking for something similar (DSP being to general).

While this course describes the mathematical background of music signal processing, does anyone know of a practical extension to it - i.e. resources that demonstrate the basics like FFT, parametric EQs and so on in such a way that one can write a time-efficient implementation of them?



The website by Julius O Smith noted above is a goldmine for a lot of theoretically grounded but practical descriptions of many algorithms. Then, you have http://www.musicdsp.org which has a lot of code snippets, + the ML is frequented by some of the most gifted programmers in the area of music softwares.

I have noticed that papers by Jon Dattorro are now online: Jon Dattorro is the guy behind a lot of ensoniq and lexicon stuff, and he knows a lot about both practical and theoretical aspects (look for "Jon Dattorro aes" for his seris in the journal of AES).


For a simple and straightforward FFT implementation, I would recommend taking a look at the Kiss FFT source code. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kissfft/


Have you tried this site/book?
