Why I started this thread!

Jitter is the deviation of some aspect of the pulses in a digital signal. In audio applications, Analog to Digital converters are one of the most critical components that are susceptible to jitter. Using an internal or external clock, an A/D converter "slices" an incoming audio signal into a number of pulses that digitally conforms to the original source.

What is clock jitter in detail?

ok, so i have a Focusrite 428 preamp and i sending my other preamps through it and going ADAT into my digi 002. I am getting pops through my ADAT channels but wheni hooked up my pre's tothe anolgue ins on the digi 002 no clicks. would this be considered digital jittes or am i f**ked?

Hi All,

My burnings are 100% correct.
This is tested with different CD's that all test's OK in Sequoia and afterwards has been digitally played into Sequoia and then make a perfect null when played phase inverted to the original signal.

Hi,

is there a simple (software?)way to show/measure how much jitter there is in one's digital system (DAW mac, external AD converter feeding DIG in on soundcard)?

I was made aware of "jitter" a while back, and was curious if anyone could tell me how my setup faired in regards to jitter, and also if there's an advantage to using something like Apogee's Big Ben.

The "Jitter Bug" (1.2.3...er 4 maybe?):

I’ve been learning a lot reading your posts here guys.
So, first of all, I should say THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE AT THIS FORUM.
But I need an advice.
I have a DIGI 001 at my home studio and I am planning to buy a DIGIMAX (PreSonus) to improve the number of available inputs I can record at once (8 analogs + 8 digital).

In the new issue of Tape Op, Bob Katz of Digital Domain states that "99 times out of 100, the INTERNAL clock in a converter will produce lower jitter and thus better sound than if you clock that converter externally from the most stable wordclock generator in the world! The reason: A crystal oscillator is much stabler than a phase locked loop.
