When I save a file (mp3, constant bit rate at 96 kbps, force export to mono) and then open it again, the file is always around .03 seconds longer than when I saved it.
So a file that was 1:00.000 when I saved is 1:00.029 when I re-open.
A file that was 0:03.000 when I saved is 0:03.030 when I re-open.
Any thoughts as to what could be causing that? I need my audio lengths precise.
Thanks. I note in that FAQ that there is a version of the LAME encoder that creates blank space that is less than 10% as long as what the prior encoders added. Is there a way to know what’s being done now or any settings for LAME within Audacity?
I suppose the answer is to just save my files as 0.03 seconds shorter than what I really want!
