Wavepad silent for a few seconds when playing a file

[Graciela M]

Does anyone know how to fix the few seconds of silence that happen when playing a file. It's very difficult to make precise cuts because no matter where I play the track from, it is silent for a few seconds. 

 

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by 'cuts', but are you zooming in to look closely at the waveform to determine where you wish to make such an edit?

Also, I guess I don't have any idea to which you are referring, because never have I had few/or any seconds of silence playing a file in WavePad.

Are you perhaps working with an mp3 file? Just an anecdotal inquiry....

I'm working with a file from iTunes which comes in AAC format. Would WavePad function better while using a different format?

I'm sorry for the very tardy reply, but I have no experience with apple applications and their workings with WavePad.
