Wave Splitter

Wave Splitter is a program that enables you to extract a smaller part of a .wav audio track and save it as a separate file. It has a built-in audio player and lets you configure various settings, both standard and advanced.

Setting it up takes minimal time and effort, since there are only familiar options involved. By the look of its interface, Wave Splitter hasn't been updated for a long time. However, the main window has a neatly structured layout and shows all options put at your disposal.

After indicating the Wave track you're attempting to cut, you can specify the output directory and filename, play the song in a built-in audio player, as well as view the wave spectrum, specify the start and end point to view, zoom in and out, and refresh information.

It's possible to jump to any position in the sound file (set a value in milliseconds), enable looping and autoplay mode, establish the start and end time to take into account for the splitting job, as well as change the signal amplitude and offset. The track can be reloaded. Once the task is over, you can launch the new Wave file in your audio player to inspect results.

It performed extraction jobs rapidly in our testing while remaining light on system resources consumption, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM. Unfortunately, it displayed some error dialogs when we attempted to process specific Wave files.

We must also take into account that Wave Splitter hasn't been updated for a long time and likely has compatibility issues with newer Windows editions. On top of that, it supports only 16-bit .wav files.
