Logic Question

How do you cut off all the blank space at the end? When I made of one my test songs it had like 3 minutes of nothing at the end. I know there must be a way to cut it off.

I switched from Ableton to Logic two days ago, so i'm not that knowledgeable yet, but you should just be able to shift-click at the start and end of the song and click render. Whenever i end up with a 5-minute silence at the end that's what i have forgotten

At the very top of the arrange window there is a timeline - there is a small gray box that indicates where the song starts on the left and another one to the right to indicate where it ends - just move the end point where you like and you're good. There may be other ways of defining this but that is how I've done it.

it's actually good to have a silence at end of song...
unless your looping of coarse, but it allows the reverb
or fx trail (or amplitude of wave) to fully die out without
it cutting it short.  But when doing a bounce.. select an area
you'd like to loop highlight it in the timeline selector up top,
then bounce as you wish.

Yeah, but not 5 minutes of it for a 3 minute song like I got hahaha
