Drew,

Hearing a bit of the opposite sideband is a natural effect of using a
very low Shift/Lo-Cut setting.  No matter how straight sided the DSP
filter may be, it does have a finite slope to it (if it did not have
slope, it would ring like crazy).

IMHO it is not a problem either -
The cure for that condition is easily available to the operator, just
set the low end a bit higher and the opposite sideband response goes
away.  If one really wants to hear those very low frequencies, he will
have to accept that a bit of opposite sideband will also be heard.

73,
