Computer Tools

This article is a detective story, of sorts. It’s about how I tracked down a noise problem in an MP3 encoder. More importantly, though, it’s about how having the right tools made that job easier. In the interests of clarity, I’ve changed some minor details. The data sets used in the examples are synthetic, but representative of the originals. The story you are about to read is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
