Chain: trim seconds from start or end

Audacity Help Forum Windows

Hi,

I apologize if there is an answer to this somewhere. I searched but didn’t find it.

I want to make a chain to delete the first x seconds from the start of an audio file and delete y seconds from the end.
How in the heck is this done?
I used Audacity to do this a long time ago, but now I can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks for the help.
