It would be nice to be able to use a negative value in the Render Start option in Render Audio, or perhaps have a button that adds a small amount of silence (say 1 second) at the start of an export.

I know I can add this in the arrangement, or add to the audio file afterwards, but it would be a lot easier only having to do it during the export.

Amen. Adding a tiny bit of silence in the Arrangment is annoying and messes up coordinated LFO start times & synced delays, etc
