Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media for synchronizing algorithmic state data with audio trace signals. In a particular embodiment, a method provides processing digital audio data linearly in the time domain using a digital audio processing algorithm. The method further provides determining the digital algorithmic state data comprising an output state of the digital audio processing algorithm at each of a plurality of time instances during the processing of the digital audio data. Also, the method provides aligning the digital algorithmic state data in the time domain with a trace of the digital audio data.
