Easily split large audio files into tracks with Audacity

- This tutorial shows you how easy it is to split large audio files into single tracks using the free program called Audacity on Mac, Windows and Linux
What a pleasure to have a tutorial that isn't a platform for someones personal music tracks, usually played at ear splitting volume, and 95% of the time of 'music' that you'd never listen to in a lifetime. The other tutorials that have me reaching for the stop button are the mute ones where the 'tutor' flashes the cursor around the screen at the speed of light and expects you to try and follow it. It's bad enough when you don't know how to do something without having to endure distractions like that. So a big thank you to whoever made this one.
Best explanation I have watched. Thank you for the information. Right to the point and no off topic. Absolutely Great!!
Just PERFECT, clear & straight forward
Thank you! This completely helped me spilt an album into single tracks.
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful. I got to recording and it ended up being WAY longer than I anticipated. With your help, I've split it nicely into three tracks.
Excellent! Glad you found it useful!
Bravo my friend... Concise and well presented ... I just wish more CZcams tutorials were like this , ego free .. lol Thank you !
The most concise tutorial on splitting files. I've done it before, but I invariably forget and have to refer back. Kudos!
Your instructions were very clear and understandable. Thank you for taking the time to make this valuable video.
Glad you found it useful
thank you for the step by step tutorial! I'm new to podcast editing & editing kinda scares me, kudos
I had a large wav file, Audacity wouldn't export it. Using your method, I split it, and it worked! Thank you so much.
Glad you found it useful!
This is the only audacity tutorial I return to because I always forget how to do this by the time I have to separate a .wav into songs. Thank you sir!
Glad you found it useful!
Great tutorial, why aren't all tutorials so simply explained without confusing extraneous comments? All we need to know to accomplish the task and no more!
I was doing this a much more awkward way. This really helps! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Excellent, just what I needed to know, many thanks Dave
Thanks for this explanation...simple and to the point ..no nonesense!
Glad you found it useful!
When I record audio I often have multiple takes in one audio file and I have been wanting to have a way to create markers so that I can more easily mark where a portion of a narration starts. Then when I find the next take I can find compare them without having to dig through the file to find the first take again. Thank you very very much.
Great tutorial, thanks! A few touches from my experience -
If you have many songs in your album, you can use Zoom in button to see where songs end, also you can copy/ paste word 'Track' into labels, and then add numbering using Export dialog box option while exporting songs. It is much faster and it saves you from wrong label numbering if doing it manually.
Excellent tutorial, and I loved the traffic / rain in the background!
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you. Great explanation easy and right to the point.
Glad you found it useful!
I down loaded Audacity and was overwhelmed. (I am 72 y o and easily confused!!!). But your instructions are so easy to follow.....am happy, happy. Also figured out some shortcuts of my own.
You're a better person than I. I watched the video and still have no clue. I know exactly what I want to do, but I need to watch about ten tutorials on just how to advance the selection bar and make selections before I'm ready for this video.
I used to use another program about 15 years ago when I was putting cassette music onto the HD. Had some similarities so guess that helped. Just keep at it - it does get easier.
Well done, straight to the point, and helped me get the directions I was looking for. Thanks for the tutorial!
Glad you found it useful!
Amazing tutorial and exactly what i was looking for! thanks a bunch
Glad you found it useful!
You just saved me a major headache, my friend. Thanks very much.
02:40 now says Channel Mode in that menu: Joint Stereo, Stereo, and Force Export to Mono. Do you choose Joint Stereo or Stereo? [update] Just found the answer: Joint Stereo and Variable Bit Rate is best.
Thank you for a very clear explanation. You have saved me lots of time. Why on earth are 40 people disliking this video?
Just what I was looking for to edit down a 2.8 GB file of a jam off my new digital recorder! Thanks!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks I really needed this for tracking out my Dj mixes.
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
Thank you so much, mate! I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to accomplish this after perusing the Audacity manual!
Glad you found it useful!
Very helpful! Thank you so much for this video!! Simple and clear instructions too :)
Great job explaining , simple and straight to the point, Thank you
You sure do things the hard way!!! How laborious! You actually showed the labeling of track 2, 3, and four, repetitive!! Waist my time!
thanks a million, was looking how to label tracks with audacity and your video came out first for me. easy to understand
Thank you. I really appreciated everything about this training and your approach.
You are very welcome Chris!
Thanks a bunch! Car head unit won't play two-hour long podcast mp3 files. This seems like a pretty painless fix.
Very clear, simple. Thumb up.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks !!! It was of great help. Only thing was that after processing for exporting, it asked me to download " lame". I downloaded it and then exported the files again. worked like magic.
New to this, so appreciative of simple non-confusing tutorials, Thanks!
Awesome straight forward tutorial
Thanks, admin, it's very simple and handy. It works very well with me.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Great job!
You are very welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks :)
Glad you found it useful!
Very Good explanations
Very informative, but how do I split a live album into separate tracks where there is no distinctive break in the sound. ideally, I'd like to do it while the music is playing (by hitting a simple 'cut' button), when I hear a break between tracks, but I can't seem to find a way of doing this.
awesome ty for this was very helpful although idid have a problem with it wanting to auto play as i tried to mark the area . but figure out how to fix that
Glad it helped!
Wow this was awesome, took you no time at all. Thank you very much!
Glad you found it useful!
Just what I was looking for!
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you for your clear tutorial which I followed it step by step. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong, it didn't split the files. I've tried it 3 times and it exports the same complete file. Please let me know what I could be doing wrong, thank you!
That was so clean mate. thank you, this shit had me pulling my hair out(im the guy in the picture, i dont have much to spare!)
Glad you found it useful!
Hi mate. When you input Compressed formats like MP3 into Audacity, split the tracks, and export them, but it only has the options of Lossless or lossy. This means an already lossy file can either be compressed again making it sound like trash, or turned into a ghost lossless file, a file the same size as a lossless file, but with the same lossy sound it originally had. Can you export them in Audacity without compressing them, and keeping the original file type and compression, without making them huge or making the file quality terrible?
I was thinking the same thing when I saw him use a mp3 as his source file, he should have ripped the tape to wav and started with that haha. The best way to go about this would be to import the source file as a lossless format and then export into the desired format which is can be compressed or uncompressed depending on your preferred output. I just split a 24bit 192 khz vinyl rip into FLAC files using audacity using this same method only changing the settings. Audacity has a ton of options and you can always download codecs or plugins whenever it doesn't support something.
The problem for me is I download a lot of music off CZcams (Shhhh) and the only option is 128kbps AAC and there is no way to get better off youtube. It becomes impossible to split the tracks without making them sound like garbage lol.
Yeah I see the problem here, and 128kbps is already pretty meh to begin with so I wouldn't want to compress it anymore. At least it is AAC and not MP3 so it could be worse but still not ideal. The only way I can think of would be to export them into a lossless format with tagging capabilities like FLAC or APE so that it won't be compressed twice and you can still organize the files better than with WAV. You will still have the original compression to deal with and lots of space wasted on arbitrary data, but you won't have to worry about any extra compression or quality loss.
Try this:
Convert your MP4/WEBm/etc. You Tube files to mp3 using AVC (free & easy to use). I'm assuming you download files that don't grate one's ears!
Internally, re- record your converted You tube files on a running 'Virtual DJ Home 7' program (free and easy to use).
Somehow VDJ improves the sound. There are also three rudimentary, but sufficient, pan filters and a gain you can use, but if you like the sound when a file plays; Don't touch anything . WYHIWYG
Also, what's recorded and saved emerges as a 192 kbps file . This does not, in itself, improve the sound, but it does make tracks easier to read and use in other applications making them virtually problem free. (Handy when transferring files to be used/played in/on capricious phone apps!)
I'm sure you'll be amazed at what can be accomplished. 👍
Thanks, I'l give it a go.
clear and excellent explanation!
When I put this on youtube. Do you know how to show in my description the individual tracks with a live link to each individual track that shows the start time of each track so listeners can easily skip around within the audio file?
what was this goose actually splitting? MP3 into individual tracks? like drums bass guitar etc.. or?
Thank you. But what if I am not sure what the true quality of my audio source was? I think I did try to look for a program to check it but Im uncertain since it might just read off information that describes the music. Besides, I'd prefer if my music were to use a little memory as possible without reducing quality at all. I mean I can hear the difference when I apply alot audio enhancements (equalizers and wide mid and crystalizers etc)..
Thanks! this was perfect for me! 5 stars for you my friend.
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you!!! Exactly what I needed.
Hello! Great video. A further question: I've got a big audio-file it's a live concert. Is it possible, after I positioned the marks, to fade in & out every track automatically? Or do I have to make it for every single track afterwords? I'm happy about an answer :D
Brilliant. Thanks very much!!
Glad you found it useful
Thanks .To the point and very clear instructions. :P
Glad you found it useful!
Beautiful tutorial.
Thank You. This helped me a lot!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for your explanation, it was very helpful
Good information if your dealing with a large file you can CLEARLY see the difference in. If you can't see the difference between songs, it will take forever even zooming in. Just be patient. It works, just takes allot more time.
Nicely done!! Thanks, very simple and helpful tutorial!!!
Thank you very much.How many of you found this video useful
How can I choose a specific time for a track to start and end?
Once you figure this out, let me know. This program is way beyond my skillset.
very helpful, thanks, works on latest edition
Glad it helped you out!
what about a long audiobook file of 5 hours? How can we add chapters to it in one audio file?
Can you set it to do autom,atically? REcent versions can.
Excellent. Many thanks.

I'm lost here. ive had a demo cd from years back, and now have the whole cd as 1 big mp3, and found this tool to split them into individual track, but after splitting the tracks, it wont let me 'export multiple'. help me!!!!
CTRL-B, add marker... where is it in the menus?... I will surely forget the hotkey... would be cool to know where to click instead of CTRL-B... tnx a lot in advance :)
