Whenever i get finished recording my track (on cubase le4,if that matters) and then i convert the file to an mp3,the track is shortened. Is this due to the file converter i have,or am i doing something else wrong?Please help : X

Jan 31, 2009 09:44 am "Cut short" like the reverb trail is snipped? "Cut short" like every tune you export is the same length?
Not familiar with Cle4, but I would imagine that it uses I/O points for rendering (as its bigger brothers do).
Feb 01, 2009 01:32 am 'Cut short' as in when i'm finished recording the track,let's says its 3:58 long,and i export it to the desktop,and convert it to an mp3,when i listen to it its only maybe 2 minutes or so of the original track.as you can imagine its pretty frustrating haha.anything?

Feb 01, 2009 09:38 am In Cubase (all versions that I know of), the only part of your project that will be exported during mixdown is what is between the left and right locator. So you're going to have to move your right locator to the end of your song.
Look for these locators right above the ruler bar. Click and drag them to relocate them.

Feb 01, 2009 10:26 pm I think noize might be right.Im almost positive i have the locators positioned correctly (they're the little white arrows right?) so i guess in that case,where could i find a converter thats not a demo?or is there any other way to convert it to an mp3?

Feb 02, 2009 05:27 pm Windows Media Player converts wav to mp3 I do believe. At least it used to.

Feb 05, 2009 07:38 pm I was wrong on WMP as it will only do it when ripping from CD.
You can try WinAmp or simply hit KVR www.kvraudio.com and see what they have there. I'm pretty sure they have several in the free version.
