How to Make a Noise: Analog Synthesis looks at creating sounds using analog synthesis techniques. Analog synthesis works by taking a sound source and shaping it with a filter. This is a simple but powerful technique which allows you to create the warm, rich, energetic, and commanding sounds, and with some care you will find tones with detail, complexity, and delicacy. You will have heard these techniques used on many recordings and will immediately recognize the sounds they produce. After reading the book you will be able to create and control these classic sounds when you apply the techniques to hardware or software synthesizers.
