Hi, new Audacity user here.
I record internet radio via VLC, each resulting mp3 is 12 hours. But some of the recordings don’t contain music (only some low level noise). I need a way to check the files and delete the “empty” ones.
Via Audacity’s waveform it’s easy to tell whether a recording contains music or not - but I need to check several hundred files, so I’d like to know whether there’s anything I can do to speed up the import. It currently takes around 75 seconds to import a 12 hours mp3 (on Mac Studio, 64 GB RAM) which is already impressive.
Are there any preferences I could change? Is there e.g. a way to generate the waveform less detailed? Or is there maybe a CLI tool or another app that’s better for this specific job?
