but with all the DC-OFFSET conversation going on ...
1st .... Thanks to MartinV for the two code versions posted ...
but what I wonder:
What if we would want to measure DC-OFFSET in an audio file ? Then it would be know if it needs to be removed.
[sneaky way of asking for code to analysis for dc-offset]

Since my work comes in through Clients, I have to pre-analyze files for any possible technical issues.
My point on the forum was more to having a more complete FlowStone tool that first determined what/if any DC-Offset. Usually it is expressed as in dB/percentage% [similar to RX or WaveLAB].
Was just something of interest ... but I don't want to de-rail this thread.

I am more than a little confused about this discussion that has been going on for a couple of posts.
The last thing I want to do is fuel a disagreement between two people who are already irritated by
each other. I just want to understand. So please don't take what I write down in this post as anything
well informed, but rather a question of someone who tries to learn flowstone and has zero background
in DSP or anything related to it. I'm just lost.
I do understand that working with computers involves working in a world in which only 0s and 1s matter.
I guess this is a fact which noone would question.
I also understand that while Flowstone can be connected to the analog world, anything that happens
inside Flowstone will ultimately be transferred into 0s and 1s.
If I were wrong on this, anything that follows would be wrong as well.
From what I am being sold as a consumer of vst-instruments by professional companies, I understand that
yes indeed, folks do model electronic circuits in a software environment. One example would be a plug-in
by a small German company called Synapse, "The Legend". If you are interested, here is a link in English
language which explains what they claim to be doing:
http://www.synapse-audio.com/thelegend.html
Among other things, they assess their work as follows:
"Every component, ranging from the voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), voltage-controlled filter (VCF)
and voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), have been modeled to an accuracy never seen before in software.
...
The back panel of The Legend allows to switch between two revisions modeled, Early and Late. Moreover,
extra options allow to fine-tune the analog simulation and account for part tolerances typically found
in hardware."
Now, that makes me wonder whether they are selling snake-oil or whether the software modelling of
electronics is actually something that is a useful thing to do."
Apart from Synapse's Legend there are many more companies who claim the same attributes for their software
and from looking at what those good people charge for their products, it seems to me that customers are
indeed willing to spend large amounts of money for something that is 0s and 1s but at the same time
emulates hardware.
Now again, I just don't know. Obviously this a topic that raises emotions and I have seen plenty of
discussions on the net whether or not this hardware emulation makes sense.
Here is a link which provides some clues on what people are thinking:

As I wrote, I'm lost. So thank you for taking your time reading this post and maybe there could be some
sort of informed discussion be people into that field, a group of folks I obviously don't belong to.
Have a good day, you all.
Regards
Phil

In my view a dc offset in the analogue world correlates with a fixed value offset in the digital world; if you get one, you get the other.
