Subject:7:04? For the love of God, why 7:04?

Sigh...

Okay, I have gotten to the point where I can do karoke. The problem is, once I record the song and I render it and send it to my iTunes library, there is all this extra space on the recording. I can record a 2, 3, 4, minute song, and all the files come out to 7:04.

Does anyone know how I can have the file just include what I have recorded? I have fiddled around with everything I can think of but nothing has worked. I don't understand why, if I do a recording that lasts 3:30, it doesn't render as 3:30.

Can anyone help me? Please?

Perhaps your loop points are set at 7:04 for some reason, and you're rendering within the loop points by mistake?

Have you checked the manual for rendering? When you get it fixed, it's a breeze.

In the render window, look at your render options.

Check what inverseroom has told you. The loop region is right above your top (first) track.

I'm still working on it. It's saving everything at 4:45 now. The search continues...

There's some good feedback, so I'll summarize and add a thought:

1) You are selecting "render loop region" when rendering the file - and the loop point is set at 7:04

2) You have some part of a file (even a wee sliver of audio) down in the neighbourhood of 7:04 and it doesn't show up clearly when zoomed out.

3) Monsters have taken over your computer and they punched out at 7:04. Wait 16 hours until they punch in again.

I can't say I've ever had this problem...to be honest, it sounds like one of the two possibilities, but I can't think of another possibility other than some really weird phantom bug that is only showing up on your system and no one else's (most commonly referred to as "userus interruptus."
