Mo, No. If you simply use the automatic splitter, it will create X number of files of the exact length you specify and one smaller file containing the remainder. To the best of my knowledge, there is no silence detection feature. But, as I said, doing it manually is as simple as listening for a moment of silence and pressing ctrl-Q to drop a Que point.

Hi Darrin. Thanks for your help. If i use the automatically split option, is there any way of goldwave automatically detecting pauses and splitting based on when there is a pause? or would i have to use the manual procedure you described?
