Can't Eliminate Low Frequencies In A Waveform

I'm making a collection of strange synthesized sounds in *.wav format for a project I'm working on. Some of the software synthesizers I'm using produce an extremely low frequency oscillation in the waveform that my wave editor, WaveLab3, doesn't seem to recognize. I'm talking waveforms below 10Hz, with significant amplitude. Although inaudible they are bound to cause an audible clipping once I try and mix several sounds together. I need to eliminate them in order to correctly normalize each sample, and none of my VST effects (EQ, highpass, etc) seem to recognize anything below 20Hz. Has anyone else encountered this with their software synths or found a solution or way around?? thanks in advance -j

I would use a low frequency rolloff. I do not use Softsynths myself, but I do believe a rolloff would do the job, just start at around 30Hz (or whatever sound good) and start lowering the level smoothly from there...

yeah.. thats the thing. I've tried several different EQ's and highpass filters to try and roll that low-end off, nothing seems to even recognize it. :OP I guess these samples are scrap. -j

dont scrap them.. theres always a way to fix things (well almost). got the waves native power pack? i find the eq plugins there to be great. hope wavelab 3 supports them for ya man.

The other alternative is if you have an external EQ, you can play the wave out through the EQ and cut it as you re-record the wave back into your app.
