Menu Command: Edit | Marker

The Edit | Marker menu contains selection marker related commands. For more information about markers, see Editing Overview.

Set
Sets the start and finish markers to an exact time or sample position.

Previous
Moves the selection markers to their previous positions. Five previous positions are saved automatically.

Drop Start
Drops the start marker at the current playback or recording position. This command is enabled only during playback and recording.

Drop Finish
Drops the finish marker at the current playback or recording position. This command is enabled only during playback and recording.

Store Selection Positions
Stores the start and finish marker positions. This acts like the "Store" button on a calculator. Hold the Ctrl key to store the positions so they can be recalled in a different Sound window.

Recall Selection Positions
Moves the start and finish markers to the previously stored locations. This acts like the "Recall" button on a calculator. Hold the Ctrl key to recall the positions stored within a different Sound window.

Snap To Zero-Crossing
If you check this option, whenever you move a marker its position is adjusted so that it is on near a place where the waveform approaches zero. This helps to reduce any clicks caused by a sudden change in the waveform after editing. Note that the marker may be snapped to a place that is several hundred samples away from the position where you released it. The best zero-crossing point is used, which is not necessarily the closest point.

When editing a stereo file, both the left and right channels are scanned for the best overall position for the marker. Use the Edit | Channel menu to limit the zero-crossing search to a single channel.

When zoomed in 1:1 or closer, snapping is automatically disabled so you can place the marker at any position.
