Audio-Recording Pitfalls
To facilitate communications protocol debugging, it is imperative that audio recordings be made properly. The two
most common conditions that degrade the quality of audio recordings are:


The above recording was made at an excessively high level. One can see clipping in the time domain and
numerous distortion products in the frequency domain.
The above recording was made with AGC "Noise Reduction" still enabled, as can be seen from the gradual level
drop in the time domain graph at the start of V.22 negotiations. It also shows evidence of a microphone being used
instead of the Radio Shack adapter. This is visible in the frequency-domain graph as horizontal striations (an
undulating frequency response) during the scrambled portion of the V.22 communication. One can also see third-
harmonic distortion.
