User Guide

For example, you might have a sound clip of three events: a pool cue hitting a

ball, the first ball hitting a second one, and the second ball falling into the

pocket. Using markers, you can select the middle sound as you listen during

playback.After you hear the cue hitting the ball, you would press [ to mark the

beginning of the selection. After you hear the first ball hit the second one, you

would press ] to mark the end.The result is that the middle section of the data

appears highlighted as a normal selection.

Although markers are helpful during playback, you can use them when the

sound isn’t playing. For example, you could mark the beginning of a selection

before you’re sure of where it should end.Then you might perform a number

of tests or sound processing functions. Once you know where the end of the

selection should come, you would drop the second marker.

For more information about markers, see Regions and Markers later in this

chapter.

ADJUSTING SELECTION POINTS

EXTENDING A SELECTION WITH THE MOUSE

After selecting a portion of sound data, you will sometimes find that the start

or end points are not exactly where you want them to be.You could just re-

select the data, but it is often difficult to get the start or end points just right.
