Markers

Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.

For example, markers can be used for the following:

  • Indicate cue points or absolute time locations.

  • Highlight problem sections.

  • Visually separate tracks.

  • Set the wave cursor to a specific position.

  • Select all audio between two positions.

  • Define CD tracks.

  • Loop sections in an audio file.

There is no limit to the amount of markers that you can have in a file.

The following marker types come in pairs: CD, loop, mute, region, error and correction. When you delete a marker of a marker pair, the other marker is also deleted.

Because you cannot have a CD track that starts but never ends, a loop end point without a start, etc., special rules exist for creating, deleting, and moving these types of markers. CD track markers must always be balanced. For example, if you delete a track start, the corresponding end marker is also deleted.

Loop, mute, correction, error, CD, and region markers only have a functionality when balanced.

Note

The functions in the Markers window are the same for audio files and audio montages. However, the Markers window for audio montages offers additional options regarding clips.
