In this show Ken, recalls hpr1771 :: Audacity: Label Tracks by Jon Kulp to add Labels to an large audio file.
- Tidy up the audio to the point where you are happy with it, but do not truncate silence.
- Find the first break in the audio and check how long it is. In my case it was 4 seconds.
- Select the entire track and select Analyze>Silence Finder
- Change Maximum duration of silence to just under the length of the break. In my case I set it to 3 seconds
- This will then create a series of labels on a new Label track
- Edit the names of each as desired.
- Select File > Export > Export Multiple
- Select Split Files based on Labels
- Name files using Label/Track Name
