Audacity Forum

I *did* use Audacity's "Normalize" feature to remove the DC level from my LP recordings. That would have been my first guess. DC Pops are a relationship between two different sound recordings. Did you Normalize the other sounds? You may have corrected the recording that wasn't broken. If ...
