From: wijesijp on 28 Jun 2010 11:31 I am building a simple equalizer type audio application and I found following filter online http://musicdsp.org/files/CFxRbjFilter.h The application is working but now I need to modify this filter. I am new to DSP and I have a hard time figuring it out. Can anyone explain how this filter is working?

Any introductory text on dsp and digital filters will get you started, but it is not something that can be learned quickly from scratch. If you just want to change the C++ class design keeping the dsp unchanged that is a separate question, not really on topic here. IMO that code does not really leverage C++ as it might (not at all well suited to efficient real-time use with dynamically varying parameters); there is plenty of scope for a different approach more suited to a real-time interactive application such as a plugin. > Can anyone explain how this filter is working? > The author already has done - look for the files on the same site linked by "RBJ Audio-EQ-Cookbook".

Sticking together some googled pieces of code without any clue about what they doing is the essence of modern programming. Things are changing so fast that there is no point in learning anything in details. There is no documentation and no reason for documenting anything, as all of that will be outdated in 2-3 years. > Any introductory text on dsp and digital filters will get > you started, but it is not something that can be learned quickly from > scratch. This is grandpa's method. It is old fashioned, non-productive and boring :-) VLV

Even if they are so desperate that they don't quibble about the cost, those 12-hour days are still a pain in the behind. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?
