This 3rd Edition is a revised and extended version of the book. It offers three new chapters (1, 10, and 11) and extensions on a further four chapters (5, 7, 8, and 9). The content of this book is the basis of a course on Digital Audio Signal Processing at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and a course on Multimedia Signal Processing at the Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg. For further study, you can find lecture slides, exercises, Matlab examples, and interactive audio demonstrations on the website.

My thanks go to Dr. Martin Holters for the interactive audio demonstrations and maintaining the website http://www.dafx.de . Thanks also to him and Lasse Köper for their contribution to the new Chapter 10 on “Nonlinear Processing”. I would like to thank Daniel Ahlers for his contributions and updates to Chapter 5 on “Audio Processing Systems”. Purbaditya Bhattacharya and Patrick Nowak made contributions to Chapter 7 on “Room Simulation” and are mainly responsible for the new Chapter 11 on “Machine Learning for Audio”. Purbaditya Bhattacharya also made contributions to Chapter 9 on “Audio Coding”. Thanks to both of them. Finally, I would like to thank Etienne Gerat for his refinements and extensions to Chapter 8 on “Dynamic Range Control”. Last but not least, I would like to thank all participants of the lectures over all these years who have been my driving force:‐).
