any good bookes on sound design?

[hiroprotagonist]

so reading about all of these techniques you guys are talking about when you write your pieces has got me really inspired. unfortunately now i dont have ANY gear to play with and im stuck with nothing for a long time. i think in the mean time though ill focus on broadening my knowledge of sound in general. so is there anyone who has a good suggestion for beggining sound design or synthesis books?

The best source for finding anything about everything is on the web. i-net is better than books, IMO, because it's more up to date than the books are....books are good too, I can't help you with this. I don't know too much about the titles.

these are all real good-

sound synthesis and sampling - M. russ -focal press - ISBN 0240514297
this is the most usefull for you, i would have thought.

digital sound processsing for music and multimedia - R. kirk & A. hunt - focal press - ISBN 0240515064

acoustics and psychoacoustics - D. M. howard and J. angus - focal press - ISBN 0240514289
