Jacob Johnson70 is making some sense here.
But let’s be more specific so Paul Lee28 doesn't keep stalling... 😬 here’s a quick breakdown.
I don't even know what you're actually trying to achieve since there are plenty of ways to split a file.
Do you just need one snippet of a song, several parts with pauses in between, or a bunch of shuffled clips?.....
Anyway, whatever part you want to extract needs to be highlighted. Use the arrow to get to the waveform view—it turns into an "I" cursor—then just click and drag with the left mouse button to select your area.
Or, just go Edit > Select > ...... the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
Once you've got that selection, you can do whatever you want with it. You could delete everything except that part, for instance. Then, use the Time Shift tool (the left and right arrows) to slide that clip to the very beginning, save it, and you're done.
Alternatively, you could do this: while you have the existing track open, start a second one. (Project > New audio track). Take your selected bit from the first track, hit Copy, then Paste it into the new track.
From there, feel free to chop, dice, or mangle it however you see fit. 😁
Or you could just take the easy way out, though as they say, "when Nadalina's stirring the eggs..." 🙂
Man, I'm in a great mood today! Cheers! 🙂
