DC Offset Removal
The DC Offset Removal plug-in removes DC off-
set from audio files. DC offset is a type of audio
artifact (typically caused by miscalibrated ana-
log-to-digital convertors) that can cause pops
and clicks in edited material.
To check for DC offset, find a silent section in
the audio material. If DC offset is present, a
near-vertical fade-in with a constant or steady-
state offset from zero will appear in the wave-
form. Use the DC Offset Removal plug-in to re-
move it.
To remove DC offset from an audio region:
1 Select the region with DC offset.
2 Choose AudioSuite > Other > DC Offset Removal.
3 Ensure that Use In Playlist is enabled.
4 Click Process.
Duplicate
The Duplicate plug-in duplicates the selected
audio in place. Depending on how its controls
are configured, the new region will appear in ei-
ther the Regions List or playlist. You can use this
to flatten or consolidate an entire track consist-
ing of multiple regions into one continuous au-
dio file that resides in the same place as the orig-
inal individual regions.
The audio is unaffected by Pro Tools volume or
pan automation, or by any real-time plug-ins
that may be in use on the track as inserts. The
original audio file regions are merely rewritten
in place to a single duplicate file.
The Duplicate plug-in works nondestructively.
You cannot choose to overwrite files.
