Digital audio processing

Introduction

This course introduces students to digital signal processing in the context of audio signals.

Prerequisites

• Signals and systems
• Digital signal processing

Assignments should be completed using one of the programming languages listed below in the Tools section, and therefore requires a basic understanding of the syntax of at least one of the listed languages. If you are not sure which one to use, use MATLAB if you have it, and Python if you don't own MATLAB.

Tools

• MATLAB
• Python
• Julia?
