Markers
Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.
How Marker Information is Saved
WaveLab Elements uses MRK files as a way to save marker information that is independent of the file format. However, to make marker information exchangeable between applications, WaveLab Elements also saves some information in the Wave headers.

How Marker Information is Saved

WaveLab Elements uses MRK files as a way to save marker information that is independent of the file format. However, to make marker information exchangeable between applications, WaveLab Elements also saves some information in the Wave headers.

This speeds up the file saving process, in case that only a marker setting was changed. However, this only applies if Write Markers in WAV File Header (RIFF Format/BWF Format) is deactivated in the Audio Files Preferences on the File tab. By default, MRK files are created and information is saved in the Wave headers.

When you import a file for the first time, any loop points are imported and displayed as loop markers.
When you save a file in Wave format, the loop points are saved both as a part of the actual file and in the MRK file.
When you open a file that includes markers that were added in WaveLab Elements and markers that were added in another application, all markers are displayed in WaveLab Elements.
