Markers and regions

Working with markers

• Add a marker at the playhead, then name it.
• Drag a marker to move it, or edit its time.
• Remove markers individually.
• Markers are stored in .wsmith projects.

Automatic markers

Silence detection adds markers at the boundaries between audio and silence, a quick way to map a long recording before slicing.

Slicing

1. Place markers where pieces should start.
2. Run Slice at markers.
3. Choose a folder. Each piece is written as a WAV file.

For automatic splitting with thresholds, use Split by silence.
