I bet it does show up in the waves. You just need to know what to look for. Almost certainly you have DC offset in your show. If you have clips or segments with that affliction, it's impossible to edit without clicks or pops. This is what it looks like. Note the left wave is slightly lower than the ...

The only way to change it is to change the computer or sound system. That's why monitoring your own voice...

I bet you run into the advertising froth. Not sure what you mean by that. Advertising if full of stories of a product not being changed at all except by something like changing the colour of the box or something else like that. People will swear up and down that one product performs better than the...
