Error Detection

You can detect errors, such as glitches and sections where the audio has clipped. For a more advanced error detection, use the Error Correction window.

Glitches

• These are disruptions in the audio. Glitches may occur after problematic digital transfers, after careless editing, etc. They manifest themselves as clicks or pops in the audio.

Clipping

• A digital system has a finite number of levels that it can represent properly. When recorded sound levels are too high or when the system cannot handle levels that have been raised by digital processing, hard clipping occurs that you can hear as strong distortion.
