Audacity Forum

When I have several audio tracks on 1 .wav, I found it was quicker to use that feature when seperating into different tracks. I would hit Ctrl+Alt+J and it would split where there was audio silence, which was always between songs, and sometimes in the middle of a song if the recording had a skip, so I would just slide them over. Just started doing this today. Now when I try to split at silence, using the same .wav file as I first started with, it won't split where 2 songs join together. Now all it's doing is offsetting the start of the file a couple seconds and that's it...anyone ran into this before?

Edit: Would posting a video link help with understanding what I'm talking about?

The most likely explanation is that the "silences" are not "absolute silence".
"Detach at Silences" only works if the silence is absolute - "very very quiet" is not quiet enough.
