How to Split Audio in Audacity
Audacity is one of the best audio editing suites available, which makes the fact that it’s completely free a miracle. Used by professionals and hobbyists alike, Audacity is the go-to software for audio engineers, podcasters, audio restoration professionals, and anyone who needs to work with audio data.
It’s also not that hard to use, once you know where everything you need is. The problem is that Audacity can be very unintuitive, making it difficult to figure out how to perform common actions. Splitting audio is just one of those features. In this article, we’ll look at a few different ways to split audio in Audacity, as well as a few key tricks worth knowing.

That’s why we’re giving you both the mouse menu steps and keyboard shortcuts where applicable.
