Chains are currently pretty simple things, just a list of commands that are applied in turn to the entire project. Chains do not currently support applying a command to only a part of a track.

It sounds like you are wanting to apply effects, with Chains, to just parts of the track, so the short answer is that currently you can't.

In the next version of Audacity, "Chains" are renamed as "Macros", and their functionality is considerably expanded. There is also a new feature called "scripting" which is currently being developed, which allows almost anything that Audacity can do to be controlled by an external script. Typically Python would be used for scripting, but any scripting language that supports "named pipes" may be used.

Macros will definitely be in the next release, and hopefully scripting support will be too.

There's an unofficial alpha build here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/kblf3y
(Note that sendspace is advert supported, so take care about what you click on)
The manual for this version is work in progress so it is not yet complete and is subject to change, but has the most recent documentation: https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Main_Page

Note also that alpha builds have not yet been rigorously tested and may contain bugs. If you think you have found a bug, first thing is to check the manual that you are using it correctly, then if you still think it is a bug, report the issue on this section of the forum: viewforum.php?f=68

Pages under development:
https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Macros
https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Manage_Macros
https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Apply_Macro

These three are pretty accurate with regard to current alpha behavior

There are a couple of known bugs:
P1: Applying Macros to Files is no longer a batch process - https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1856
P2: Macros on files - Save Project causes overwrites. thus loses data - https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1859

These will be fixed for the 2.3.0 release

The Macos examples page: https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/ma ... s_Examples
has yet to be fully updated - I am holding fire on that unrtil the GUI dialogs for Macos finalize.

Peter.
