rendering issue

[creation25]

i set loop from 2 bar to 32 bar so that gives me 1 bar of silence in the beginning, but when i render the master track and play it through window media player i hear the song start right away. the 1 bar of silence is not there. what did i do wrong? help me out guys, thanks.

correction: i set loop to bar 1, which i assume would give me that 1 bar of free silence in the beginning, but that doesn't seem to work also. the song begin at bar 2. when i listen to the master stereo track in WMP i still hear the song starts right away.
