Hi Jeff,
By default DS will find the most ‘pleasing’ method of time-compressing an audio clip. It will reduce the length of gaps as its first priority as this will have the most minimal impact on the result. This will give you exactly the audio duration you’ve set but will give different results on different clips.
By altering the CrossFade and Minimum Pitch sliders you will get different results but you’ll never have two timewarped audio tracks to be sample-accurate the same as each other.
For lots of help and advice on DS, take a look at the DS-L Google Group at https://groups.google.com/group/DS-List
Regards,
Tone 🙂
