When I do Export Song on my Tracker Mini, the resulting file sometimes has a very long (seemingly) silent tail at the end - sometimes close to a minute.
I assume this is due to effects like delay and reverb that continue after the last note is played, but I can’t figure out how to get rid of it. I’ve tried putting a pattern at the end where every track has a note OFF/FAD/CUT, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the silent tail.
Any advice on how to get rid of this (other than editing in a DAW after).
Hey @Didac, hope you’re doing well. Sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. I’m going to assume you are not running the latest firmware as this was a known issue and was fixed in 2.0.1
Current firmware is 2.0.2 and you can find it at the link below!
Oops! I should have said what firmware I’m on. I’m using 2.1.0 beta 1
I saw that bug from earlier (Render selection creates excessively long samples) and was wondering if it’s related, but I don’t have the issue when I do Render Selection, I have the issue when I do Export → Export Song
I just did a test where I took every instrument and set the reverb and delay to -inf and exported the song: the silent tail is gone. The file is 2:45 with reverb/delay on, 1:45 with reverb/delay off. Somehow the reverb/delay is ringing out for a full minute after the last note, but I really don’t hear anything. Is there a way to globally kill the reverb/delay on the whole project at the end or would I have to set the reverb/delay to 0 as FX1/FX2 for every instrument that had any reverb/delay?
Greetings. With the latest firmware, I encounter the same problem, This affects only the mini, not the tracker plus. Here you can see what this looks like: Stream ohne höhle by sonic structures and silent stretches | Listen online for free on SoundCloud
To be clear, in this instance the phenomenon fit nicely with my intentions and created a happy accident. So this is just an illustration of this effect.
Have a nice day.
Looking at the track I don’t have anything special, I have 1 pattern with offs on all tracks to make sure nothing drags on (1 step), then I added another with 8 steps all blank just so when I play it in song mode it doesn’t loop right way.
I can just clip it so it’s not a big deal, maybe it explains why I feel like the export is taking really long, it gets to the end then the display goes back to 00:00 and hangs there for a minute or so. Might be time to move this thread into the bug section
Just to make sure you guys don’t feel you are forgotten, I’ve been testing this. There’s a lot of use cases that could potentially create that silence at the end, so I’m going through both of your projects one by one and checking those use cases.
If I exhaust these, then we can create an official bug report together, and go from there.
