Question about an Lp Rip

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me. The file below is an Lp rip I did recently using the same process I always use, in Adobe Audition 3. As you can see, the 2nd half of the waveform, representing side 2, is slightly offset higher than the 1st half. I don't hear a problem with the file, I'm more curious than anything. What does this represent and is there a way to correct it, if it in fact even needs to be corrected? FYI, this was recorded from a mono LP. This is the first time I've ever seen this behavior and I've been doing this for about 15 years. I tried doing a search, but I didn't even know what to search for.

Thanks!

Did you try to fix the offset using the setting in the Effects tab. I think that's where it is and I'd give you a better answer than that now if I wasn't recording Dorati and the London Orchestra playing Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakoff right now.

 

Oops - might be under the Favorites tab as Repair DC Offset.

 

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try. Do you know what might cause this? Something in the way the record was cut maybe?

 

Looks like the sides are phase-inverted. Easy to correct, problem is you don't know which of the two is correct.

 

Thanks Antares. I was under the impression that inverted phase was only an issue with stereo files. In any case, I'm sure Audition has a way to correct this, so I'll do some more poking around.

 

I was able to fix this in RX3 using the phase correction under "channel operations." Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

iZotope RX3 is a miraculous program when you use it well. Amazing results. Haven't yet tried RX4, but I'm hearing great things from a few people.
