I'm trying the audition demo, and it seems there is no remove DC offset option. Also it does not seem to read all of my vst's properly. Anyone else having problems in this area ? I this audition is great, but if i can't use all my plugs, and it can't remove dc then i guess i'll have to revert to wavelab once more. Help.

It doesn't read all VST's, no.
Just the good ones.

Removing dc offset WAS there in predecessor CoolEditPro 1.
Is it really gone? I find that hard to believe...
Since I got another soundcard I never ever needed to remove any DC offset anymore.

alternative method: you can remove offset (to some extent) with hi-pass at 10-15Hz (or lower if that's in context).

To remove DC offset in AA 1.5, select:
Effects > Amplitude > Amplify and then from the presets list select "Centre Wave".
Done.
<edit> and to prevent DC offset when recording into Audition:
Options > Device Properties > Wave In >
...bottom left check box "Adjust to zero DC when recording"
Effects > Amplitude > Amplify and then from the presets list select "Centre Wave".
Done.

Brilliant! Of all the times all the times I've used Amplify/Fade and I've never noticed that. I've been using the filter method.headquest wrote:To remove DC offset in AA 1.5, select:

Actually the way to do it (yes found it now) is the the DC Bias Adjust setting provided by the Amplify command. It doesn't work as well as Wavelab or SF, or even logic for that matter
.
Anw that i can live with after all, and the effects i've just created a list of all my plugins that i need for mastering/editing and put them in one folder, with not many subdirectories and all of them work now. I think that the sub-directories were throwing audition off, but this is definetely something to be looked at and worked on for the next version.

effects > amplitude > normalize
Uncheck "normalize to"
Check "DC bias adjust" and set to "0"

couldn't they just have something that says "remove DC offset"

This is from the help: under Using Level metershavran wrote:couldn't they just have something that says "remove DC offset"
To adjust for DC offset:
Right-click the Level Meters, and choose Adjust For DC.
Many sound cards record audio with a slight DC offset, meaning that the center of the waveform being recorded is a little above or below the center of the waveform display. This offset can dramatically throw off the level meters since the offset amount could be interpreted as a constant sound at that volume. You should have this option enabled when recording.
This is from Amplify/Fade:
DC Bias Adjust
Ensures that new recordings are perfectly centered. Some recording hardware may introduce a DC bias, causing the recorded waveform to appear to be above or below the normal center line in the wave display. Many waveform transformations require that the signal be centered.
* Select Absolute and then specify the final DC percentage in the L and R boxes. This option lets you cancel out DC that's not constant throughout a waveform. An extreme low-cut filter achieves this result. Keep in mind that the actual amount adjusted varies with each sample. For example, if you have a significant DC change in one area of the wave, at that boundary where the DC changes, the Absolute option makes all parts the same. (However, there will be a dip or peak right at the boundary point.) To introduce a DC bias by skewing the entire selected waveform above or below the center line, enter a positive or negative percentage. For example, a setting of 50% moves the entire waveform up halfway, and one of -50% moves it down halfway.
* Select Differential and click Find Zero Now to analyze the entire selected area to get the DC offset, and adjust every sample by the inverse of that exact amount. The correct L and R percentages are entered automatically.
