Correct DC Offset
If the the average between the positive and negative wave peaks
in your file is not zero, the result is inaudible low-frequency
distortion. Although you won't be able to hear it in the .wav file,
it will seriously degrade your compressed file, as well as introduce
further distortion if other filters are applied to the uncorrected
wave. The DC offset function corrects this problem, and should always
be applied as the first step in optimizing an audio file..
In SoundForge, select Process | DC Offset.
Select Automatically detect and remove. Also, be sure to
check the Create Undo option at the bottom right of the window.
