LP to single tracks

Hi I have managed to record an LP, but I cannot understand instructions on how to split the LP into individual tracks so I can make my own compilations. I have tried everything It is is driving me insane.
thanks
Oldie but not yet senile. :confused:

First you need to add “point labels” between the “songs”. If there are sufficiently quiet gaps between songs, this can be done with the “Silence Finder” effect: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/silence_finder.html

If you can’t get Silence finder to label the songs accurately enough, you will need to add the labels manually one at a time. While playback is stopped, you can add a label at the cursor position using “Ctrl + B”. More info about labels here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/label_tracks.html


When you’ve done that, you can use “Export Multiple”. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_multiple.html

(This entire process becomes easy when you have done it a few times - it just seems complicated the first time :wink:)
