Finally not a 10+ minute long video on how to do something simple. Thx!

[DSilvandoBlade]

Short, Simple and Straight to the point, the three S's to make this an SSS tier tutorial

I've seen a lot of "how-to" videos on many subjects, but this is by far the best ever! It is short, punchy, professional, and it makes the task very easy. I have been fiddling with Audacity and giving up, but here is exactly what I wanted to know. In 2 minutes and 43 Seconds!

I am a complete novice using Audacity. I run a fledgling podcast regarding the prevention of child sexual abuse and human trafficking with a fellow community educator. This was just the perfect video I needed to cut an interview into two pieces when we got engaged in the important conversation. Thank you for your help. Truly appreciated how simple you made it for a newbie like me.

Brilliantly explained ! Thanks to you i have just managed to capture a cassette tape recording of my Dad singing in his band (Flair) from 1978/79 !! thank you again

[mnmleung]

Thank you, Mike Russell. I have come back to this video multiple times whenever I have forgotten how to do this. Very helpful!

[roytaylor]

Perfect. I am usually ok with new (to me) software applications but I needed to see it rather than follow instructions. Good Job.

[JohnCregoWorldMusic]

Holy crap, thank you. My head was about to explode trying to figure this out. Concise and to the point.

[TupmaniaTurning]

Brilliant! Simple, concise and easy to follow. Just what I needed - thank you. 👍

[sheilahsay]

Your explanation on splitting tracks was very good. Short and to the point. Sheilah

[krismorris]

There is a reason this is first hit on Google. Thanks, Gilles Peterson!

[timothymarks]

I would like to thank you for taking the time to upload this information. Thanks to you, I am now able to rip and create individual tracks from my vinyl collection instead of just having one side play as a single track.

[bruzote]

If I were to subsribe to YouTube channels for audio stuff, this would be one of them! CLEARLY a professional quality job, like someone trying to promote a product in 60-seconds. Nailed it.

I wanted something more simple than this - to split a track within Audacity - so this is EVEN SIMPLIER;
Put the cursor where you want the split and go to Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split.

[MarioRossiAncora]

Worked immediately. And I second what other people have said: this is how tutorials are supposed to be.

[sssss]

I never comment on youtube videos but this one is really excellent. Concise and to the point. I can now separate vinyl tracks with ease. Thank you. (CTRL+SHIFT+L)=Export Multiple

[SocaNick]

Finally found a video that is to the point and now I can split my projects w/ confidence now. Thank you

[twicecactusman]

Sorry to be a "me too" commenter but this was absolutely killin. I had already read multiple ways to get this exact thing done in audacity's online documentation and other results from a Google search and was tossing up which to use when I decided to give this video a try. You presented a "new" way and by far the easiest. Thanks a ton!

[amylong]

Amazingly simple and quick help! Thank you! Love the keyboard shortcuts as well!

[luteplayer]

short, concise and clear. Many thanx!!!! :)
