DROP MARKER

The Drop Marker command is a way to mark positions in a sound file. You can

drop a marker at the current cursor position while editing or on the fly during

file playback.

Markers can also be created by pressing ‘M’ on the keyboard. Markers can be

quickly selected from the list in the Go To dialog located in Edit menu. Also,

markers are placed in the Regions List for quick playback.

There is usually a very small delay between the time when you select

Drop Marker and when the marker is actually created. Using the

keyboard shortcut ‘M’ gives the fastest response, and thus the highest

accuracy.

Depending on the sound card you are using, there might be an offset error

between what you hear and where the cursor is located.To correct this, go to

the Wave page in the Preferences folder (Options menu) and use the Play position

bias to correct for the sound card driver’s offset error.

Some sound cards do not return position information to Sound Forge XP

very efficiently. If the cursor moves in large chunks during playback,

check the Play position bias or Interpolate play position for

inaccurate devices between fields options on the Wave page in

the Preferences folder (Options menu).

CREATE REGION

Use this function to create a new region in the Regions List from the current

selection.
