How to Split Audio by Silence

Steps

1. Open the long recording.
2. Choose Process › Split by Silence.
3. Set the silence threshold: how quiet counts as silence.
4. Set the minimum silence (how long a gap must last) and the minimum clip length, so short pauses don’t create tiny pieces.
5. Add a little padding so words and notes aren’t clipped.
6. Check the preview count, then add markers, open the pieces as tabs, or save them as WAV files.

Prefer to choose the cut points?

Add markers by hand where you want cuts, then use Slice at markers to save each piece as a WAV file.
