Marker Types

You can use different marker types to locate certain positions quickly.

The following marker types are available:

Generic markers

Allow you to locate positions and select all the audio between two points, for example. Generic markers can be created during recording.

Temporary markers

Can be used for any purpose. Temporary markers are deleted when the corresponding file is closed.

Playback start markers

Define a playback start point.

CD track start and end markers

Denote where a CD track begins and ends. CD track start and end markers also serve for DVD-A discs. CD/DVD markers are used in pairs.

CD track splice markers

Are used when a CD track starts exactly where another ends. CD track splice markers also serve for DVD-A discs.

CD track index markers

Are used to create index points in CD tracks. CD track index markers also serve for DVD-A discs.

Region start and end markers

Define start and end points for generic regions. Region start and end markers can be created during recording and are used in pairs.

Loop start and end markers

Are used to define loop points and are required to access loop editing functions on the Process tab of the Audio Editor. Loop start and end markers are connected to the Loop mode when playing back audio. These markers are useful for editing and creating loops before transferring a sound to a sampler. Loop markers are used in pairs.

Exclusion start and end markers

Let you temporarily silence a section. Sections between exclusion regions are skipped if Skip Range is activated on the transport bar. The Render function in the Master Section also allows you to exclude regions from being rendered. Exclusion markers are used in pairs.

Error start and end markers

Are used to highlight errors, such as clicks. Error start and end markers are saved in audio files if Save Error and Correction Markers is activated in the Audio Files Preferences, on the File tab. Error start and end markers can be placed manually, but their main use is in combination with the Error Correction tool.

Correction start and end markers

Are used to highlight corrections performed on regions previously marked as errors. Correction start and end markers are saved in audio files if Save Error and Correction Markers is activated in the Audio Files Preferences on the File tab. The correction markers can be placed manually, but their main use is in combination with the Error Correction tool.
