Apply Chain on Stop

Post by garion1 » Thu Sep 03, 2015 10:02 am

Audacity 2.1.1 on Windows 8.1

Problem: When a recording is complete, I do not want to allow editing of the recorded file. I want it to apply a chain and close, preferably when stop is pressed. For example:
Option 1 (Preferable - Automated)
(Manual) Start -> (Manual) Stop -> (Automatic) Apply Chain -> (Automatic) Apply to Current Project -> (Automatic OK) Export recording window -> (Automatic) close open project

Option 2 (Simpler method - Lock track from editing)
(Manual) Start -> (Manual) Stop -> (Automatic) Lock track from editing -> (Manual) Apply Chain -> (Manual) Apply to Current Project -> (Manual) Export recording window -> (Manual) close open project

Any help will be appreciated.
