Markers
Markers are used to locate certain positions quickly. There are two types of markers: position
markers and cycle markers.
If you often find yourself jumping to a specific position within a project, you should insert a
marker at this position. You can also use markers to make range selections or for zooming.
Markers are located on the marker track.
Position Markers
Position markers allow you to save a specific position.
Position markers on the marker track are shown as marker events: vertical lines with the marker
description (if assigned) and number beside it. If you select a marker track, all its markers are
shown in the Inspector.
Cycle Markers
By creating cycle markers you can save any number of left and right locator positions as start and
end positions of a range and recall them by double-clicking on the corresponding marker.
Cycle markers are shown on a marker track as two markers bridged by a horizontal line. Cycle
markers are ideal for saving sections of a project.
By defining cycle markers for sections of a song, e. g. intro, verse, and chorus, you can quickly
navigate to the song sections and repeat the section by activating Cycle on the Transport panel.
Setting the Locators Using Cycle Markers
Cycle markers represent ranges in your project. You can use them for moving the left and right
locators.
PROCEDURE
● To set the left locator to the cycle marker start and the right locator to the cycle marker
end, perform one of the following actions:
●
Double-click on a cycle marker.
●
From the Cycle pop-up menu in the track list, select a cycle marker.
RESULT
The left and right locators are moved to encompass the cycle marker.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
Now you can move the project cursor position to the start or the end of the cycle marker by
moving it to the corresponding locator or use cycle markers to export specific ranges of your
project with the Export Audio Mixdown dialog.
