Acoustics and Psychoacoustics 5th

The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition provides supportive tools and exercises to help you understand how music sounds and behaves in different spaces, whether during a performance or a recording, when planning a control room or listening space, and how it is perceived by performers, listeners, and recording engineers.

With their clear and simple style, Howard and Angus cover both theory and practice by addressing the science of sound engineering and music production, the acoustics of musical instruments, the ways in which we hear musical sounds, the underlying principles of sound processing, and the application of these concepts to music spaces to create professional sound. This new edition is fully revised to reflect new psychoacoustic information related to timbre and temporal perception, including an updated discussion of vocal fold vibration principles, samples of recent acoustic treatments, and a description of variable acoustics in spaces, as well as coverage of the environment's effect on production listening, sonification, and other topics.

Devoted to the teaching of musical understanding, an accompanying website (www.routledge.com/cw/howard) features various audio clips, tutorial sheets, questions and answers, and trainings that will take your perception of sound to the next level.

This book will help you:

• Gain a basic grounding in acoustics and psychoacoustics with respect to music audio technology systems
• Incorporate knowledge of psychoacoustics in future music technology system designs as appropriate
• Understand how we hear pitch, loudness, and timbre
• Learn to influence the acoustics of an enclosed space through designed physical modifications

空間的聲學特性對於您創造和捕捉聲音有著真實的影響。《聲學與心理聲學》第五版提供了支持性的工具和練習，幫助您了解音樂在不同空間中的聲音和行為，無論是在演出還是錄音時，無論是在規劃控制室還是聆聽空間時，以及演奏者、聽眾和錄音工程師的感知。

Howard和Angus以其清晰簡潔的風格，涵蓋了理論和實踐，涉及聲音工程和音樂製作的科學、樂器的聲學、我們聽到音樂聲音的方式、聲音處理的基本原理，以及將這些概念應用於音樂空間以創造專業音效。這本新版全面修訂，以反映與音色和時間感知相關的新心理聲學信息，包括對聲帶振動原理的更新討論，最近聲學處理的示例，以及對空間中可變聲學的描述，以及對製作聆聽、聲音化等主題的環境影響的涵蓋。

致力於音樂理解的教學，附帶的網站（www.routledge.com/cw/howard）提供各種音頻片段、教程、問答和培訓，將您對聲音的感知提升到更高的水平。

本書將幫助您：
- 在音樂音頻技術系統方面獲得基礎的聲學和心理聲學知識
- 適當地將心理聲學知識納入未來的音樂技術系統設計中
- 了解我們如何聽到音高、音量和音色
- 學習通過設計物理修改來影響封閉空間的聲學特性

David M. Howard is the Founding Head of a new Department of Electronics at Royal Holloway, University of London. David's research interests include the analysis and synthesis of singing, speech, and music, the use of computers and apps for real-time singing training and tuning in a cappella singing. David has been involved in forensic audio casework and appears regularly on radio and TV, including as a presenter for Voice and Castrato for BBC4-TV.

Jamie A.S. Angus is Professor of Audio Technology in the School of Computing, Science, and Engineering at the University of Salford. She was one of the originators of the UK's first university-level music technology course at the University of York in 1986. She both teaches and researches in room and speech acoustics, diffuser design, GPGPU in acoustic simulation, and audio signal processing and coding. She invented the modulated and absorption diffuser structures and was awarded an AES Fellowship Prize and the IOA Peter Barnett Memorial Prize in 2004.
