Remove DC Offset
This function will remove any DC offset in the audio selection. A DC offset is when
there is too large a DC (direct current) component in the signal, sometimes visible
as the signal not being visually centered around the “zero level axis”. DC offsets do
not affect what you actually hear, but they affect zero crossing detection and certain
processing, and it is recommended that you remove them.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended that this function is applied to complete audio clips, since the
DC offset (if any) is normally present throughout the entire recording.
Resample
The Resample function can be used for changing the length, tempo and pitch of an
event.
The original sample rate of the event is listed in the dialog. Resample the event to a
higher or lower sample rate by either specifying a sample rate or by specifying the
difference (as a percentage value) between the original sample rate and the desired
new one.
• Resampling to a higher sample rate will make the event longer and cause the
audio to play back at a slower speed with a lower pitch.
• Resampling to a lower sample rate will make the event shorter and cause the
audio to play back at a faster speed with a higher pitch.
• You can audition the result of the resampling by entering the desired value
and clicking “Preview”.
The event will then be played back as it will sound after the resampling.
• When you are satisfied with the preview result, click “Process” to close the
dialog and apply the processing.
Reverse
Reverses the audio selection, as when playing a tape backwards. There are no
parameters for this function.
