Placing Markers

M

Special Menu

Markers are reference points you can place throughout a file. You can use markers to identify positions for editing or to seek forward and back within a streaming media file.

Markers can be quickly selected from the list in the Go To dialog. Also, markers are placed in the Regions List for quick playback.

What do you want to do?

Place a marker during playback

Press the M key during playback, and a marker will be inserted at the current cursor position.

Depending on the sound card you are using, there might be an offset error between what you hear and where the cursor is located. To correct this offset, adjust the Play position bias setting on the Wave tab in the Preferences dialog.

Place a marker after stopping playback

Placing a marker after playback has stopped will give you the most accurate results.

  1. Position the cursor where you want to place a marker.

  2. From the Special menu, choose Drop Marker, or press the M key.
