Short Silence At Beginning and End of export [SOLVED]

Audacity Help Forum macOS
1

I use Audacity for sampling.

Recently (I think), my samples are being exported with .05s silence at the beginning and end of the exported waveforms. This is super, super annoying, as when I bring the samples into Ableton, the loops don’t line up right! This is really annoying!

Does anybody have any idea what’s happening here?

Thanks!

Don’t use MP3.
A limitation of the MP3 format is that there is always a bit of “padding” at the start.
If you must use a compressed format, try OGG, otherwise use (uncompressed) WAV format.

Oooooooh. Okay. That was the change.

Thank you for the swift reply!
