Literature about FX

jazzisfaction's icon

Hey,
I'd like to be independent from VSTs. So -although I know it's a big field- I'd like to start programming my own FX.
I can find some patches here, some bites of information there, but is there a good book (maybe even in context with Max) or good sites which explain the technical aspect of the most common audio FX ? What kind of parameters do I need for a special kind of effect, why do I need these parameters, etc etc.....

Thanx for any hints
Cheers
Peer

The stuff on cox seems to be great but I can't watch any of the camtasia videos on Yosemite....I installed the newest FlashPlayer but no chance.

Hello,

I guess a good place to start is here;

written by Miller S. Puckette and with examples in Pd (screenshots) although i'm sure the patches are available somewhere...
