I'm trying to come up with the "physics" of it - It is a rare thing to this extent...
Somewhere the positive swing is being squared off and the negative is allowed to pass through at a reduced level.
So essentially, I guess it is pretty freakin' similar to DC offset...
I've only seen it in crazy-phasy conditions (such as this one). The DC Offset is fine though - The tight/mono section at the head of the file is right on. Once it picks up and the rest of everything starts, that's when it all goes to hell in a handbasket.
I can simulate it using a square wave generator (positive only and then shifting) but I'm not certain what you would need to go through to actually do this on purpose... Except for setting a limiter at just the right release time to chop the top and leave the bottom...
Normally I only see it in synth sections, etc.
Where's Ethan when you need him...? I'm sure he could 'splain this properly...
