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, and region markers only have a functionality when balanced.
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.
