Could you post a short clip of a loud part so that we can see how far off you are. To export a short section, select a few seconds of the recorded track by clicking and dragging your mouse across the waveform, then use "File menu > Export Selection" and export it as a WAV file. See here fo...

One of the limitations of the MP3 format is that the length is inexact. MP3s always have a bit of extra silence at the ends, so even if you trim it off in Audacity, if you export in MP3 format a bit of silence is added back on.
