Blank audio at beginning of export

[Nodrap]

I'm writing some music for use in a game and it will be short loops. Using 1.1.3 on Windows 7 64bit

When I exported the audio (using the looping setting and no other changes from default) I seem to get a small blank bit of audio at the start of the .wav. This is seen in Audacity as I tested that it loops nicely. Unfortunately this small gap messes up the loop.

As a test I did the same with a sample tune (Shorties/Crunk(Demo).mpp) and it too had this gap at the start of the wav file.

Any clues or suggestions? At the moment I think I may have to double up the length of the loop and cut it in half soe how. Have tried this and the gap isn't there in between the doubled up segment so I don't think its the track.

It is a known problem, and one thats solved :D !
:/ unfortunately only on PR level :[
So that is a piece of garbage-info, im afraid.
Next release will however (almost surely) have a new 'export-as-loop' option, and other export goodies.
Next release does however also struggles with some critical problems, so a scheduled release is not known

I have been in the same predicament, with loops for games, and i 'solved' it with careful editing of the wave-file, in audacity. It takes time, but its doable

Maybe this helps:

Until its fixed in the new release.

Ok, glad its known. Am still blown away by all that it does - have just started using it.

In my searches I came across something called SoX which is a command line audio editor tool. Haven't looked very far but it might mean I can batch convert the output to be trimmed as I want.

I actually realized that I need to double up the loop and use the second playback of it so that I get any reverb etc. added to the start of the loop from the end of it (if that makes any sense). So I'm hoping that I can do that with SoX.

Would be really good if the export could clip itself to the loop bounds with an option. That would be the ideal!
