A small js snippet to split a merged audio track to parts by silence analysis. Based on ffmpeg "silencedetect" filter and node.js.
/**
* This javascript snippet is able to split a merged audio track to parts by silence analysis
* It is based on ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org), especially on the silencedetect filter (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#silencedetect)
*
* Assumptions:
* - nodejs is installed
* - ffmpeg is installed
*
* Usage:
* - fill the options object
* - run "node splitter"
*
