Step 3: Select the necessary segments

To select the parts of your audio file that you need to have as separate files use markers. Start by marking the first segment: click the required position within the Waveform Display with the left mouse button and press the Add Marker button on the Edit tab. The start of the file will be the beginning of the first segment and the added marker indicates its end.

In the same way set markers for other parts. The end of each segment automatically marks the beginning of the next.

You can also set markers automatically by clicking the Auto Markers button and then selecting one of the available modes in the opened window:

• The Time tab allows you to split the file by length.
• Select the Time Intervals radio button if you want to split your audio into parts of certain duration. After selecting this option set a needed time interval in the Interval Length field.
• Select the Equal Parts radio button if you want to split your audio into a certain number of parts. After selecting this option set a needed quantity of parts in the Parts field.
• The Silence tab allows you to split the file on the base of silence detection. After selecting this tab specify the following parameters:
• Silence is below - the signal level below which the sound is considered silence;
• Attenuation Time - the time period during which the signal decreases below the specified level.

Click the Start Marking button.

Note: you can see the whole list of the markers you set, change their position and delete some of them, if necessary, using the Marker List. To open it press the View Marker List command button on the Edit tab:
