Word Sync




Word sync is a technique for synchronizing digital audio signals between high-end professional devices such as CD players, audio I/O cards etc. It is important because it allows all the components in the signal path to process the data and remain in synchronized with each-other.

In simplest terms, one drummer beating out a patter 10110 is great, but if you get two or three drummers beating that same 10110 patter, but they don't all start at the exact same point in time, or keep the exact same tempo as they're doing it, you'll wind up with a very muddy message for other devices which might need to listen to all three at once (e.g. a digital audio capture card on your computer or other multi-track recording device).
