Orinj DC Removal

Orinj version 9.0.0

The Orinj DC Removal removes amplitude shifts away from the middle. As a signal oscillates between positive and negative values, the DC Removal centers the signal around zero. If, for example, the signal has larger positive values than negative values, the DC Removal will push the wave towards the negative values so that, on average, the positive and negative values are approximately equal.

The Orinj DC Removal adjusts the values of the signal slowly to avoid distortion.

Using the Orinj DC Removal

The Orinj DC Removal can be added to tracks, auxiliary channels, and the master channel in the multitrack session view and to waves in the single wave view.

• To add the effect to a track or an auxiliary channel in the session, first click on the track or auxiliary channel to select it. Click on Effect, Other, and then on Orinj DC Removal in the menu.
• To add the effect to the master channel in the session, click on Track and then on Master Channel in the menu. In the master channel dialog, click on the Add button.
• To add the effect to a wave in the single wave view, click on Effect, Other, and then on Orinj DC Removal in the menu.

You will see the following dialog.

When this dialog becomes visible, the Orinj DC Removal effect has been added. Adjust the parameters of the DC Removal and click Close.

Orinj DC Removal parameters

See Orinj Effects for an explanation of the Title, Track, Presets, and Bypass controls. The remaining Orinj DC Removal controls are described below:

• Attack: Use these controls – the box and the slider – to set the attack of the DC Removal. The attack is the amount of time it takes for the DC Removal adjustment to change from zero to 1 dB. The attack is specified in milliseconds (ms) and can be between 0 ms and 200 ms.
• Average: Use these controls – the box and the slider – to set the amount of time, over which the DC Removal will compute the average of positive and negative signal values and measure the shift of the signal from the middle. The average is also measured in milliseconds and can be between 0 ms and 100 ms.

See Orinj Effects for additional notes on: where Orinj effects can be used, using boxes and sliders that impact the same parameter (such as the box and slider for the attack), applying effects to mono and stereo waves, and using effects during playback. See Orinj Working with effects for additional information on creating, modifying, moving and removing effects.

Automations

The Orinj DC Removal offers the following automations.

• Attack: This automation adds or subtracts up to 200 ms from the attack.
• Average: This automation adds or subtracts up to 100 ms from the average.
