Can you explain to me what a Macro is and how to use it ?
The documentation is here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/macros.html

Basically, an Audacity Macro allows you to create a list of Audacity commands. When you run the Macro, each of the commands run in turn (top to bottom of the list). A Macro may be applied to the current project (as in this case), or applied to selection of audio files (batch processing).

In this case, you will be applying the Macro to the current Audacity project. For convenience, you can set a keyboard shortcut to the Macro, so that the Macro runs when you press a key, or key combination. For example, you could set the key "F9" to run this Macro.

Code: Select all

SelectTime:End="10" RelativeTo="ProjectStart" Start="0"
ZoomSel:
SelectNone:

The first command selects the first 10 seconds.
The second line zooms to fit the selection.
The final line removes the selection (puts the project back to the default state of no selection).
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
