Automatic Splitting of WAV-files

Post by **jpolzfuss** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:15 am

Hi,

I recorded all dialogues for my film and transfered them onto my PC. Unfortunately they ended up in a large 20min WAV-file. Is there any Windows-program that can split this wav-file by detecting silence (or nearly silence)? I already tried "splitwave", but it doesn't detect any "breaks" in my file

there's one called waveknife i used in the past. you can adjust the threshold, when it dips under the threshold for the length of time you specify it splits it into a new track.

20 minutes?

Won't it take longer than 20 mins to research, purchase, download and install a new piece of software than it would to just play the wave file and cut it where necessary?

Yes - that's why I asked here. And no - since the file consists of all dialogues in the film, recorded in post
