Shortening a song after its been mastered

Hey

This is probably a real boneheaded question but

Can I shorten a song in Logic after its been mastered, to get the intro silence and end just right? As long as the output is set to .wav, 16 bit and normalize is set to off, will the resulting audio file be completely unaffected sonically, except for the trimming?

Or should I send the song to the mastering guy already exactly the right length?

Sorry if this is really a dumb question.
 
There's a chance you'll dither the dither, but it shouldn't be any giant nastiness...

I'd suggest making sure you don't do cut the start point to the first purposeful oscillation or anything goofy like that...
 
Thanks! I managed to shorten it correctly using Logics' Edit>Add silence and Edit>Snip Between Locators options. I was paranoid it would mess up the automation but everything seems fine. I get very OCD at the end of a long mix.

Thanks again!
