And it's surely no DC offset because the waveform is perfectly centered. The pic of the waveform is a bit misleading. Here is a better one.

hmm well maybe it's just the way your program visualises the waveform. When you look at the individual kicks, you get that pronounced downward slope (this tends to happen with kickdrum or other sharp percussive sounds and is not really dependent on any particular machine, it's just an idication of the sharp attack of the sound), but it doesn's show up in the zoomed out picture in Wavelab as it does in your picture.

May I ask what CD your waveform is from?
I've just checked, and all my copies of STITI have that.

I used a normal european version I guess. What is the software you're using? It will probably show up the same if with me if I used that software...
