Book description
Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition provides tools to understand how music sounds and behaves in different spaces, and how sounds are perceived by performers and listeners. This new edition reflects 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. An accompanying website features audio clips, tutorial sheets, and trainings.
