Waveform symmetry.... what's it all mean??

[Burton]

I've recorded some bass tracks and I'm noticing that the waveforms aren't symmetrical in relationship to the mid-line of the track. Is it significant if the waveform is below the mid-line, or above. I'm used to conceiving sound as waves that phase about an axis. Anyone have a better idea of what the displayed waveform really means? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Well, it's Audiosuite>DC Offset removal.

Does this have an effect on the sound?????

Not sure.........

A clean and steep high pass filter set as low as it can go is also an option;

Perhaps this is also kinder to the rest of the signal ?

Which is the cleanest HPF that is available as RTAS ?

Leading candidates are FilterBank and Q10...i would think the renn. eq is not steep enough and has too much "character" for this job.

Does anyone have a favorite ?
