Effect: Remove DC-offset

Description of effect: 
Centers the wave around the baseline. 

Main benefit: 
This effect will not alter the appearance of the sound. It will however adjust any baseline shift added to the waveform during recording or bad effect processing.


Description of parameters:     The effect does not take parameters. 


 

For you that want to know more... 
   A baseline shift can occur if the recording equipment does not filter out the DC voltage. If that is the case, and you feel that it is of considerable strength, maybe you should look into the analog electronics you use. If you have never experienced any unwanted features, that is probably not the case!!!     The offset of a recording can not be heard by the human ear, as the frequency of a stable baseline happens to be the interpretation of exactly 0 (zero) Hz. That also, is considered a frequency, and can therefor be operated as such. It is for example possible to filter out a baseline offset with any highpass filter. In Pristine Sounds it is done by filtering out any frequencies below 5 Hz. 

Please note that this effect is the least important function of Pristine Sound!
