Why Won't My Audioclip Loop Seamlessly?

Question

Hello all,

I made my gameplay music on GarageBand and I made it to be able to loop seamlessly, and it does just that on Garageband! Only thing is, in Unity it does not loop 100% seamlessly, it had a very brief moment of no sound. Why is that? Is their something regarding the way Unity does audio that I need to know or I am mis-using? Climax Audioclip

Thank you!

Looking at the ends of the waveform, it looks like there is a very slight bit of silence at the end. Try trimming it down by a slight bit and see if that helps. This could be an issue with GarageBand making it sound perfectly looped and exporting it slightly different, or something with Unity.

Can I trim an audioclip right inside Unity? @Universalerror

I think you will need an audio editing tool for that.

I have :/ . I trimmed up my clip a tiny bit on Garageband and that didn't work so I am going to try Audacity. I also tried converting the mp3 file to wav and looping that in Unity but the same problem prevails. I know that my problem is the very slight bit of silence at the end of my audioclip that Unity put in there. @NickWu

Just complementing:

The is a very slight bit of silence at the beginning AND at the end of the track. Just cut it of with audacity or something alike.

Thanks for the illustration. I didn't have much time to do this myself as I was just doing fly-by answering. @brunocoimbra
