Howard,

I'm no Goldwave expert and haven't used it  in over a year, but had a 
similar  problem when recording  my voice for digital voice keying and then 
trying to  split the file into seperate .wav files.

I slowed the speed down several times and raised the volume a bit.  It made 
it easier for the software to find the blank spaces since the blank time is 
now streched out more due to the slower speed, and the  difference between 
sound   and silence is  greater due to the increase in volume.  Undo the 
speed and volume changes after setting the marks.

Perhaps a better way to do it, but it worked for me.
