I set dither to 'none' and tried another edit. It seems to be okay now.
Thank you very much.

I just edited a song, but there was no fade out edit required. I removed some silence from the beginning, and that was the only edit I made. I exported the file, re-opened it, decided to check the ending, and there was hiss. There was no edit made to the ending, because one was not necessary. The so...

I am now finding that this is happening to many of my files that I edit, not just one or two or three. Now working on editing some Frank Sinatra tracks. Same as before, I apply a edits including fade out, export file, re-open it, and hiss is at the end. Other edits seem to be the same. When I play t...

I apologize for all these replies, but I think it could be something about the original file. I was incorrect in saying that re-downloading the source file, and re-applying my edits took care of the issue. I just re-downloaded that song, made my edits, exported, re-opened, edits remain other than it...

I guess I should also point out that the file I provided a link for was not the only file this happened with. It happened with at least 2 others yesterday. I can't figure it out why it happened, but if I re-do everything with a new source file, that seems to take care of the issue.

I forgot to mention that I had also cleaned up the beginning, removing a small amount of noise/hiss. That remained the same when re-opening the file. It was just the ending that confused me. I could tell the ending was different/better/cleaner than originally, but it was fading into hiss, not silenc...

Yes, that worked normally. I've tried some other files, also, and they worked normally. It only seems to be happening with a few files. I re-downloaded the source file, opened it in Audacity, applied a fade out, extracted it, re-opened the edited file, and the fades/edits are still there. It's just ...

Thank you for the response. I'm afraid that wasn't the issue. I'm really confused by this. I just tried it again. Opened the file, created the desired fade out, listened back to make sure it sounded good, exported file, opened a new Audacity file, opened the newly exported file, fade out gone, all h...

Today I encountered a strange thing, one that I have not noticed happening before today. I had a few mp3 files that ended with hiss sound. I put the desired fade out effects to the hiss at the end, pasted in a little extra silence at the end, to allow the track to end smoothly, and not abruptly or t...
