Innerclock Systems - Precision Midi Clock Din Sync and Tempo Synchronisation Solutions What does Tempo and Event Jitter Look Like? Discussions about the problems of Sync-Latency and Tempo/Event-Jitter in music production can be hard to follow if you have nothing to reference your experience against. Music happens in real-time so we only have our immediate experience of listening to make a subjective decision on what we are hearing. Once you stop playback and look at the events on the DAW Grid and check the quantize settings on your sequencer or drum machine you will often find that events are lined up as they should be which means the groove is as good as it gets right? Even though this is by no means scientifically accurate it does give a good visual representation of how Midi Event Jitter, Hardware Response Latency, External Sync-Start Lag and poor external Hardware Tempo-Stability all impact on the core-focus of rhythmic feel in music production.

In the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, even as fierce political battles rage over the logging or conservation of the last few percent of older forests on public lands, vast acreages of once-vibrant forest in private industrial ownership is being stripped and scoured rapidly. Wood is beautiful, used well in our homes, shops, and offices.

The designer needs to create packaging that will allow the manufacturers to keep the product within the price range of its competitors, and at the same time pique the interest of consumers enough to want to discover the delights inside.
