Here's an AI take. It's not guaranteed 100% accurate, but one of these methods may do the job...
Yes, NCH WavePad offers multiple methods to split long audio files into individual segments:
1. Split at Specific Points
Place the cursor manually and use Split at cursor to create two files at the selected position.
2. Split into Equal Parts
Use Split into n equal pieces to divide the file evenly (e.g., 5 equal segments) or Split at fixed intervals to specify exact durations (e.g., 10-minute segments).
3. Split at Silences
Automatically detect pauses using Split at silences, adjusting the silence Threshold (volume level) and Duration (minimum silence length).
4. Split Using Bookmarks
Place bookmarks (Ctrl+B) at desired split points and use Split at bookmarks to generate files named after each bookmark.
Steps to Access Split Options
Open the file in WavePad
Go to Edit > Split File
Choose your preferred splitting method
Save each new segment individually after splitting
Note: For automatic silence-based splitting, WavePad may not create perfectly equal segments but optimizes split points around detected silences
. For fully automated splitting, NCH recommends Slice Audio Splitter (a separate tool), but WavePad's built-in methods cover most manual and semi-automated needs
