106 GENERAL FUNCTIONS IN THE PROJECT WINDOW
The marker manager may also be accessed via "View > Manager > Marker manager". This
is where you manage and edit the markers you set.
More information about this is available in the chapter "Manager -> Marker manager (view
page 147)".
To stretch a range between any two markers, first click on the first marker. Then click on
the second marker while holding down the Shift key. This selects a new range.
Use the function keys "F2" and "F3" to quickly jump back and forth between the marker
positions or the keyboard shortcut "Alt + W/Alt + Q" or select "Play / Rec > Move play
cursors > Marker left/right" from the menu.
Alongside the standard markers there are additional markers that can be used in
Samplitude as well:
 Markers in wave projects are saved in the audio file (*.wav) as so-called audio markers
and are available in this form in other applications as well. Audio markers are linked to
the audio material, and are visible on the upper side of´an audio object. The purpose of
the audio marker is to mark positions within the audio material, this marking will therefore
remain regardless of the positioning in the virtual project. Audio markers may also be
made visible in the view options ("Shift + Tab") in the "Objects" area by marking "Audio
markers" with a check mark. The audio markers displayed in the object of the virtual
project are identical to the markers in the corresponding Wave project. If you want to
place a new project marker in a Wave project, as is done automatically when recording a
new take, the audio markers are visible at the same position in the audio material in all
related objects. Note: All time information for the audio marker relates to time positions
in the audio material, and not to positions in the virtual project.
 Markers for CD burn functions: CD track markers are displayed in red, CD subindex
markers are green, and CD pause markers are blue.
 Tempo markers signify a tempo change at a specific position in the project.
 Beat markers change the type of beat from the marker position, e. g. 4/4 beat to 3/4.
 Beat position markers assign a specific musical position to a specific time position.
This way, the bar frame/grid and MIDI events can be easily synchronized with existing
audio material.
For more information on Tempo and grid position markers, see "Play/Rec > Marker (view
page 301) > Insert Tempo Change/Insert Grid Position Marker" (view page 305) in the
menu under reference.
Advanced ruler/time display
Use the grid bar's context menu to activate a second grid bar in the arranger and set
your own measurement unit (show 2nd grid bar). Both grid bar positions can be
exchanged (swap grid). If you select "Independent time format" in the transport window,
the upper grid will adapt to a chosen BPM grid, unlike the lower grid. This makes it
possible to select an SMPTE format independent of the project frame rate, which provides
an overview of two different SMPTE displays.
