The direct link is on the page under the form too, If you are “without honor” :)

#4Thanks for submitting this! Sounds really great and I’m excited to read through this. The theory of FFTs, equalizers, etc is sometimes really unapproachable because of the dense mathematics, it’s much easier for me to comprehend algorithms and concepts as code.

#5Wow, didn't expect to see my free book on HN. I'm the author.

I downloaded it first "without honor", puzzled why he wanted my email. Then I tried entering my details sans email, and was rewarded with compliments to my character – it seems email is not required.
It would be better for the author's information collection, and friendlier to readers, to indicate that email is not a required field – otherwise people will assume giving email is necessary, as in a zillion similar forms online. And/or explain why email is wanted.

#7Thanks for submitting, I'm currently working through Stanford Audio Processing for Music Applications but this books looks like a nice companion (and I tend to prefer written content to videos).
I studies some signal processing stuff in college but didn't really connect it to music unfortunately so struggled. Since then I've gotten very interested in electronic music production so it's a 2020 goal to learn more about the underlying software and math techniques, so I really appreciate this resource.

I'm the author. In all my free books I have collected email addresses only for very rare events. How rare? In 15 years of publishing free books I've only used the books' email list once: I used a previous book's list to let people know that Edition 2 was available.
If you put in fake information, my little collector is none the wiser. Or just click on the "without honor" link, which is really there so Google can grab it.

Thank you for making your work available for free. I appreciate the historical context you have added.

#10This format is amazing. I love watching these types of videos on YouTube, but the random video-hopping the algorithm gives me via "recommendations" never feel productive. Now when I procrastinate by watching internet videos I can point to this book and say, "See, this isn't procrastination, I'm actually working towards something". Many thanks to the author.
