just discovered some plug-ins that require me to do some dc-offsetting. i want to do it per track (and not just durin mastering).

the only plug-in to deal with that, which i own is ozone, and while loading several instances and disabling all components but the limiter with the dc offset correction is a possibility, i'd rather go with a small free plug-in for just that purpose.

my questions: are there any besides tobybear's? are the algorithms important? should i stick with several ozones due to the (maybe) superior algorithm?

...I asked asked a similar question a while ago. You can use a DC offset remover or you can try using a high pass filter as well...Tobybears works pretey good, though...

I remember seeing another one beside's this one:

and Tobybear's but I've had no real need (or experience with either)
I'll try to scrounge up the other option....

not sure...

Doens't your host remove it? I'm pretty sure Cubase SX does. Certainly Sound Forge does as well.

Yep, KTaudioHealer isn't working here on FL, it doesn't load.

jic it helps you rest, ttbomk, which is admittedly limited, not sure you're gonna find a dc offset remover that actually works better than a hpf with a sharp q..

Here's one (requires DirectX capable host):

thanks, guys, will check them out. i also found another one (i think) by one of the developers in the 'fav not listed on kvr' thread. spirit canyon or something to that effect was the name of the developer.

Well i think if you keep it at high resolution (the vst mixers should all be 32 bit by now) removing it on the two track will have the same effect as removing it on each track

jus use a high pass filter below 20hz, removes any dc offset.

I use PalancarWare deDC or a filter, depending on how close I want to cut into sub-bass territory

"DCOffsetKiller" ?

Wouldn't that be a good name for a new BONES synthesizer...

Please file a bug report to the developer of the offending plugin!

But are you sure it's true DC offset (line above zero db even when silent signal passes) and not some sort of asymettrical behaviour (positive half of wave is amplified different from negative half)

Many things tend to have DC offset (i.e. pulsewidth modulation, high resonance, rectifiers and so on...) That's a total normal behaviour, especially with VA synthesizers. Also often some Time Domain Harmonic Scaling effects (like granulation) can cause that. That lies in nature of things. And it is mostly a dynamical behaviour.

Althought, a "normal" effect shouldn't do that without any reason (except it is some intention) ...

dc offset killer?
