The various marker types
The following marker types are available:
About marker pairs
Four of the marker types come in pairs: CD, Loop, Mute and Region.
Since you can’t 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 will also be deleted,
or other markers will get changed.
Loop, Mute and region markers only have a functionality when balanced.
You can enter just a start marker, but its purpose will be defeated by the lack of a corre-
sponding end marker.
Marker type Description
Generic This is mainly used for locating certain important positions and for editing
(for example selecting all audio between two positions). Generic markers
can be created directly during recording if needed (see “About dropping
markers during recording” on page 153).
Temporary As Generic, but not saved with the file.
CD Track Start,
End and Splice
These denote where CD tracks start and end. A CD track splice is used
when a CD track starts just where another ends. As previously mentioned,
these will automatically serve as DVD track markers if the wave file is im-
ported into an Audio Montage that will be used to create a DVD-A.
CD Track Index These are used to create “index” points in CD tracks.
Loop start and
end
These are used for defining loop points. This is useful for editing pur-
poses as well as when creating loops before transferring a sound to a
sampler.
Mute start and
end
These let you temporarily silence a certain section. Muted sections can
also be skipped on playback (see “Skipping sections during playback”
on page 137).
Region start and
end
Use these to define start and end points for generic regions. This is use-
ful for editing purposes and can be created directly during recording if
needed (see “About dropping markers during recording” on page 153).
Playback Starter This is used to program a playback start point. See “Setting the start
point for playback” on page 136.
