Opts Prefs count-in. Set to off or silent. I often leave it in and take the end result to Audacity and just cut it out. 2 seconds of work. Then add a fade in and fade out, and in less than a minute render to mp3.

Audacity is free. Just download the lame encoder for it and tell Audacity where it is the first time and you are good to go. Other effects there too.
