Remove DC Offset dialog
Sysx
You can use this option to control SONAR’s Console from an external controller that sends sysx,
such as the Tascam 428, or any device that sends sysx data. You can set the selected control in
SONAR to respond to sysx data by using these fields:
• Single Byte. Checking this option tells SONAR that the significant data (the variable, or
parameter value) in the incoming sysx message is in the form of a single byte.
• High byte first. Checking this option tells SONAR that the significant data in the incoming sysx
message is in the form of two bytes, with the high byte first.
• Low byte first. Checking this option tells SONAR that the significant data in the incoming sysx
message is in the form of two bytes, with the low byte first.
• Starts with. Fill in the string that your device sends in sysx messages that precedes the
significant data.
• Ends with. Fill in the string that your device sends in sysx messages that follows the significant
data.

Remove DC Offset dialog
The Process > Apply Effect > Remove DC Offset command opens the Remove DC Options
dialog, which allows you to remove audio artifacts cause by electrical mismatches between
recording hardware and input instruments or devices. This dialog has the following fields:
• DC Offset Threshold (dB). You can set a minimum dB threshold. If the analyzed DC offset is
below this value, no removal takes place.
• Analyze Left Channel (dB) and Right Channel (dB). This field displays the DC offset
separately for the left and right channels. Press the Audition button to update the display.
• Compute DC Offset from first 5 seconds only. To speed processing, select the Compute DC
offset from first 5 seconds only check box. Only the first five seconds of a sound file will be
analyzed when measuring the DC offset. The only time that five seconds is not sufficient is if a
long fade-in or mute has been applied at the beginning of the file.
Note: If you set up remote control for a grouped control, the remote control works all controls in
the group.
