We tend to think about dithering during the post-processing (e.g. mix, mastering) environment. Dithering is also highly valuable in the analog-digital conversion; however, it needs to be applied duri ...

Yes but dpd is quite correct, cables can as thermal noise sources. However in this case I think that noise is negligible.

As I said, [nit mode]. Of the two, I've experienced more problems with th ...

look into the Roger Nichols Digital Dynamizer plugin. I've used it to remove reverb from some sources in downward expansion mode. It's a bizzare item, takes a lot of getting used to, but an interest ...

One cable should not be quieter than another. Cables do not induce noise.

{nit mode} Actually, cables CAN induce noise. Depends on the application:

Actually, I remember building a passive RIAA de-emphasis network between two gain stages - and did the computer circuit simulations that matched the measured response. that's why I believe that this ...

I think it depends on the DAW software you plan to use. If you go ProTools, surf over here:

The RIAA de-emphasis curve consists of two, 1st order (6 dB/octave) low pass filters. I forget the frequencies (look it up), but one could simply record flat into the PC and then put these two EQs on ...

Hmm - interesting point. I've had to design multi-channel data acquisition systems that are located over long runs of cable, to the point where the propagation velocity of the cable needs to be accou ...

If you want to go down to really low frequencies, then a velocity device like a Geophone is the thing to go for. It's used for such things as seismic investigations and quantifying the vibration effec ...

To prove that the signal you recorded at the remote location matches the signal at the suspected source will, obviously, require recordings at both locations using an identical experimental setup. Th ...

UPDATE:

After nearly 6 months of back and forth with MOTU, they have confirmed my diagnosis: Multiple 24IOs connected via their PCI-424 card DO NOT MAINTAIN SAMPLE-ACCURATE SYNCHRONIZATION. Furthe ...

I'm still measuring with my new test signal (about 10 cycles of a 12 khz sine wave sampled at 96 khz). So far, 4.4 uSec is the predominant value, but we have measured up to nearly 26 uSec. I am havi ...

I built a PC-based DAW out of a MOTU PCI 424 card and pair of MOTU 24IO interfaces to be used as a way to generate a large number of simulated sonar signals. SONAR (no pun intended) is the DAW applic ...

So, what's the next option for CD error checking?
