Project stops correctly at the end but the exported file has extra space

[charles kasler]

I know things like automation Lanes can cause the project to continue past the end but in this case in a couple of my projects it does stop correctly at the end but the exported file has more dead space at the end. What would cause this? Is there some way to catch it without having to export and test each file? Thanks for any suggestions!

Set a "from", set a "thru to" and export that range.

Thanks that's what I did but I'd like to know what causes it to begin with so I don't have to set from to on every project I export.

hi Charles. Probably at some point you had, or copied something further down the timeline. I have tried Control X, delete but have yet to find a solution other than setting a from, thru point.

It sounds like there is a reverb tail perhaps that Cake is including in the final bounce. IIRC (not in front of CbB right now) there is a check box that instructs CbB to include or ignore such things; again, IIRC.

Thanks! I'll just export from/to from now on.

Do ctrl + end to to find out where it thinks the project ends

Then select the entire range of tracks between where you want it to end and where it does end

I remembered that tip from an old post, maybe it was your post. It's a great tip but for some reason it didn't work this time. It could be user error but I thought I followed the instructions well.
