Export always has a tiny gap at the start

[John T]

Using last version of CbB.

Am just doing some experiments with masters for an album where one track flows seamlessly into the next. I have a solution for the time being, and will assemble it in HOFA instead of Cakewalk, but I have discovered something odd.

Seemingly no matter what I do, I end up with 0.033 seconds of silence added to the start of the file.

Am exporting by selecting only a clip in Cakewalk, and the audio data in that clip starts right away.

Anyone ever come across this?

You might get this if your project data starts EXACTLY measure 01:01:000

If this is the case, move it out a couple of measures by going Project > Insert Time/Measures

Exporting to MP3?  MP3 encoding will do that.

Neither of those things. Export starts a few mins into the timeline in this case. And exporting as wav.

So what happens if you do your export one bar earlier than you want?

I'd guess a plugin that introduces latency but doesn't report it properly.  Is there something in common to all affected projects?

This seems a likely candidate. I've just discovered that it's not happening on *all* projects. Will do some investigations.
