DC offset----

---I've never seen Microeditor induce a DC offset, but have noticed a small one coming from the product of many different converters via DAT machines, especially....

You will see the DC offset when amplifying the waveform view to the max, then performing a fadeout on noise: You'll see the noise "arcing" up or down to the center line at the fade out.

Small DC offsets are tolerable, large are not. I don't know of anyway to fix an offset within MicroEditor, but I have seen it in other software packages and hardware boxes....I think some of the RME boxes have a software interface that allows you to do a custom DC offset fix.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but, if I'm not mistaken, an extreme low frequency digital filter will also remove a DC offset (a la the 2hz or whatever filter available in the Finalizer).
