Split by minutes, seconds, milliseconds, or by total segment count.

Before: one long file 00:0072:00 By minutes 00:00-10:00 10:00-20:00 20:00-30:00 30:00-40:00 By count Part 1 of 8 Part 2 of 8 Part 3 of 8 Part 4 of 8 When silence detection is not the right fit ## Use chunks when the output needs to be regular Auto-cut is useful when the recording contains natural pauses. Chunk cutting is for jobs where regular structure matters more: transcription batches, ambience beds, long interviews, training audio, sample-library source captures, and collaborator handoffs. You can split by duration, such as every 5 or 10 minutes, or by count, such as 12 equal files from one source recording. AudioMultiCut creates the segments first, so you can still inspect and adjust before exporting.

That is the point. It is best when you want uniform files and will do creative mapping, transcription, tagging, or review after the split. ### Sound-library batches 24 equal source files for a synth sweep or ambience pass ### Transcription review 10-minute files that are easy to retry or assign ### Lesson archives A 90-minute recording cut into sections for students ### Field recording Consistent chunks for cataloging room tones and textures [AudioMultiCut](https://audiomulticut.com/) Free online audio cutting tools for splitting, cleaning, and preparing recordings in the browser. © 2026 AudioMultiCut.
