STAN-M Technical Reports

STAN-M Technical Reports are publications by CCRMA faculty, students and visiting scholars, published by CCRMA through an assigned STAN-M number. These publications were previously made available to the public for a small fee to cover the cost of printing. We are now engaged in an effort to make these publications available on-line, in PDF versions, so they are more widely accessible. 

All of these papers are listed in our complete Publications Database, which also includes papers that were never assigned STAN-M numbers and more recent publications.
