Free Online Textbooks & Courses

A list of free online textbooks and courses on audio DSP.

  • project μ by Yü Fang

    • An incredible online guide walking you through how audio DSP works with examples of common algorithms to get you started.
    • Shows very clearly how to apply these algorithms in actual code, and also has helpful and nice looking graphs.
    • Requires knowledge of complex numbers, integral calculus, and the C programming language. (It is also very unix-focused).
    • Currently a work in progress, and more tutorials will likely be added later.

  • The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing by Steven W. Smith, Ph.D.

    • A common recommendation from many folks.
    • Focuses on DSP in general, not just audio DSP.

  • MIT OCW: Signals and Systems by Prof. Dennis Freeman

    • A free online college level course including pre-recorded video lectures, lecture notes, and assignments.
    • Here is a link to the video lectures on Youtube if you can't get the videos to play on their website.

  • Julius Orion Smith III Collection

    • A great collection of books and resources by Julius Orion Smith III.
    • Very comprehensive, and covers many topics on the mathematics and applications of audio DSP. Good for getting a solid foundation.
    • Contains code examples in C and MatLab (although GNU Octave can be used as well).
    • Relatively heavy on mathematics.

  • The Art of VA Filter Design by Vadim Zavalishin

    • Teaches good techniques for adapting analogue designs into the digital realm.
    • Relatively heavy on mathematics.

  • The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music by Miller Puckette

    • Focuses more on musical DSP.
    • Teaches core concepts of many common audio effects and synthesizers.
    • Relatively heavy on mathematics.
