The Split tool is one of the most powerful features in OnlineAudioEdit, allowing you to slice a long recording into independent segments. This is particularly useful for separating a music medley into individual songs or a long interview into shorter clips.

How to Split

Unlike Cut or Trim, the Split tool works based on the Playhead position or a Selection.

  • Using Playhead: Click on the waveform at the exact moment where you want to create a split. Then click the Split button. The audio is now divided into two separate clips.
  • Using Selection: If you highlight a region and click Split, WaveCut will create splits at both the beginning and the end of your selection, effectively "extracting" that portion as its own independent segment.

Managing Multiple Clips

Once you've split your audio, you can edit each part independently. You can apply different effects to the first half and keep the second half clean, or simply use the splits as markers for future edits.
