you have the 100K / 1K divider on the audio signal. on the other input, add a 1M /
1K
divider, tie the input to the wiper of a trimpot from +15 to -15  (maybe a 100K
trimpot)

This lets you introduce a DC offset to correct for the offset of the OTA.  It will
never be perfect
but it can be a big improvement, especially if you have fast attack times (thump)
