Audacity Forum

I'm new to Audacity this week. I'm recording an LP side, then breaking it into WAV files for burning to a CD.

I've tried several methods, the first was select each track and do export selection, then I read the "how to split tracks" and did split, label, and export multiple to do the whole side in one go. However both have exactly the same problem, that I get a few seconds of the next track appended to the end the previous one. I've read the whole manual AFAICS, and I think I've been through the program's every menu preference and check box, but I can't find anything pertaining to this excess time. I did find a pre and post cut preview of 1 second, both of which I set to 0, but that didn't change the behaviour. I do have a workaround of adding a few seconds silence to the start of the next track, but that's a bit clunky.

I'm using 1.13 on windows 7. Is it a known beta bug and do I simply need to revert to the stable version? Have a missed unchecking a vital "surprise me on export" check box?

I see a number of posts advocate recording on beta, then editting on stable. Is there a good reason for doing it this way round?

thanks

Neil

Yes it's a known bug - if I remember correctly, 1.3.10
You need to update Audacity to 1.3.12
