Hello, when I make a mp3 file from my music (exporting), I get an extra 5 sec. of silence at the end.

In my music-art, the notes are finished, but the mp3 has 5 sec. of silence extra. How can I get an mp3 file that stops immediately when the music is finished.

It's very frustrating, because I need this music for a loop (music-program), but with 5 sec. of extra silence the music has a gap.

Does anybody know what to do?

I'm using finale 27.3.

I composed a melody in Finale (note notation). This piece is for a computer game and has to be in a loop.

So I made a audiofile (mp3 file) so this can be used in the game.

But when I listen to the mp3 file it has at the end 5 sec. of silence. My music don't. So it's not useable for a loop...

My question is, why do I have 5 sec of silence in the mp3 file? and how can I remove that in Finale. My music has a normal ending...

I hope this is more clear...

Get Audacity and you can edit a ton of options for your mp3. Best of all Audacity is free. It is very easy to cut the 5 seconds from the end plus do all sorts of enhancements if you like.

The extra seconds are to allow for reverb to die down so the music does not sound chopped off. Clearly for a loop one needs something different, but if one needs something different, one needs to make adjustments.

Please read the link I posted and post the information we need. Until you do, everyone will be guessing.

Ah, MikeH, no matter what computer or OS or Finale version, I still will recommend the OP get Audacity.

The macOS has had a built-in mp3 converter/editor for over 20 years.

 

Adrian's guess is probably close to the mark—that or a plug-in with a look-ahead feature. Since the OP has not told us anything including the OS, I like our guesses better. 

 

Are you going to give us more made up Windows stats again?

Who cares how long Mac has had it. What possible difference does that make? It isn't Audacity not even close.

I have no idea to what you ask or are referring to. I simply offer simple suggestions to what works for me hoping it works for others. The fact Audacity is free is another good thing. You as well as the OP are free to make use of it or not and there is an end to it.
