Split Files While Recording

Post by SteveYoung » Thu Jul 02, 2009 3:49 pm

Searching for this feature we can not find it, so this may be a feature request.

As we record we would like to split the files into segments. 15 minites in length is the goal. Labeling the files with date and time so the archive can be accessed. We record 24 hours so splitting the file by hand would not be an option.

Thanks in advance for the info!

In Audacity 1.3 there is a feature (in the "Analyze" menu) called "Regular interval labels".
It does not automatically add time and date, but you can enter a common label text and prepend that text with sequential numbering.

Once the labels are in place you can use "Export Multiple" to create individual files.

There are quite a few options to play with, so check out all of the features and you probably find something that fits.
