Perhaps something to do with this Microsoft bug: https://betanews.com/2021/01/25/microso ... orkaround/

I rendered a WAV file out of Ableton Live to -0.3db Is that "-0.3 dB according to Ableton"? When I load the WAV file exported out of Audacity back in to Audacity to check it and open the Amplify dialog, the amplification to take it to 0db is 0.298 0.298 rounded to 1 decimal place is 0.3 0...

You could get it down to a single key press by creating a macro to trim off the last bit of the track, and then create a keyboard shortcut to run the macro. See here for creating ...

The only thing that you can do is to submit your work in mono, at the highest bit-rate that ACX allow (check their current for...
