Don't worry about it. Look at the output of really nice sounding analog synths sometime. You'll see that the waveforms are rarely symmetrical, especially basses and brasses.

They usually indicate a lot of harmonics which some people like
Brass instruments often look lopsided, even with no compression.
If you were to measure the wave above and below the '0' line you will quite often find that the area is the same. One side may be 'taller' but the other side will be 'wider' - the waveform is still symmetrical in terms of power
do a search on GS for 'asymmetrical' and 'waves' or 'waveforms' |
