Garageband 10- Dead space at end of song

Hello,

I make songs for video games. As such, it is often necessary to loop songs seamlessly.

In earlier versions of Garageband, I would slide the end time bar to the end of the last note, and export it. I would then play it back in my game creation program and loop the song every time it finishes.

But in the new version, exporting adds an extra two seconds of nothingness to the end of the track! So I have to import the song into Audacity and cut off the end, which I can never do right.

So is there any way to export without the dead space?

All Mac and Windows PCs, I guess.-OTHER

You're right! What was all the bloody fuss about? ;)

This discussion is a year old, but I just ran into this issue when trying to use GB to make loops to load into a Roland SPD-SX sampling pad.

The ONLY way I was able to get it to work was by turning on Cycle Region, adjusting the song length, and then adding to the loop browser. Even then, there's a bit of a "click" when the loop repeats, but that's easy to fix on the sampling pad.

Regardless of the cycle region/song length settings, "Export Song to Disk" adds about 2 seconds to the loop, even if I turn all echo/reverb effects off. However, adding to loop browser worked every time with or without effects.

Anyway, this thread ended about an hour of frustration for me at band practice when the rest of the band tried to occupy themselves with other tasks while they waited for me to get it all figured out. So thank you.

Sorry, but I don't understand 'zoom out'. Do you mean you can remove the 'slider'?
