Auditory Scene Analysis: The Perceptual Organization of Sound [Paperback]

Albert S. Bregman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Bradford Books | Publication Date: September 29, 1994

Auditory Scene Analysis addresses the problem of hearing complex auditory environments, using a series of creative analogies to describe the process required of the human auditory system as it analyzes mixtures of sounds to recover descriptions of individual sounds. In a unified and comprehensive way, Bregman establishes a theoretical framework that integrates his findings with an unusually wide range of previous research in psychoacoustics, speech perception, music theory and composition, and computer modeling.

This review is from: Auditory Scene Analysis: The Perceptual Organization of Sound (Paperback)

This is a book I purchased for a class on sound design. It is boring and pedantic, and rather difficult to read. Since I have a strong science background, it was easier for me to read than some of my classmates. I would suggest reading it in small doses, as it's easier to understand that way.
