Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cutting and trimming audio?
Cutting extracts a specific section from somewhere in the middle of a file by setting a start and end point. Trimming removes content from the beginning or end of a file. Both operations are non-destructive here since they work on a copy.
How precisely can I cut an audio file?
The audio cutter lets you set start and end times down to the second, and you can scrub the waveform to find the exact position you need. Precision depends on the tool but is typically accurate to within a fraction of a second.
Will cutting an MP3 re-encode the audio?
It depends on the tool. Some cutters re-encode to ensure the output is a valid file, which may cause a minor quality reduction. The cut point is usually aligned to the nearest MP3 frame boundary to minimise artefacts.
Can I trim silence from a recording?
Yes. The MP3 Trimmer is designed specifically for removing silence or unwanted content from the start and end of a recording. You set the trim points and the output contains only the content between them.
