How do I shorten the total time of a song? -ACID Product Family

Subject:How do I shorten the total time of a song? Posted by: Laser Slamzcynski Date:3/1/2009 1:02:55 PM I just got Acid Music Studio v. 7, and I've run into a problem that probably has a simple solution, I just can't seem to find it. The song I'm working on is only about a minute long. But the amount of time in the timeline is more like 1 1/2 minutes. When I transferred the song to Windows Media Player there is 30 seconds of silence at the end. How do I shorten the total time of the song, to get rid of the silence? I tried putting the right length in the "Fit to Time" edit tool, but it didn't do anything.

I don't have Acid Music, but I presume it is the same as Acid Pro. Acid renders the section between the loop markers. Check your settings before you render - you may need to check the manual to see how your version sets the rendering region.
