Markers

The application automatically adds a File Description marker to every recording. You can use it to add any information about the recording. This marker always appears first in the marker list of a file, and it has the icon.

To add information to this marker, select it in the Files/Markers list, and then enter text in the box that appears below the list of markers.

An Auto Marker is created every time you press record, record for a while, and then press stop.

Auto Markers have a circle icon on the Marker List. Each segment is called a “take,” and takes are numbered. You can change the take descriptions later by selecting them and editing the text that appears in the box below the list of markers (see below).

By default, 0.5 seconds of silence are added after each take. You can change this value in the Advanced Settings.

You can add Range Markers to identify sections within a file. This can be useful when you have a long recording and want to be able to easily find that section later. You can also move easily between sections you have marked by selecting them in the Marker List or compare sections by checking their associated boxes in the Marker List.

To add a new Range Marker, select a time period, and then click Markers  Add marker. Range Markers appear with a rectangular icon on the Marker List. The marked section also has a rectangle that appears above the signal in the spectrogram and waveform that matches the Range Marker color and description.

Use Point Markers to mark a point in time in a recording. To add a new point marker, click the Timeline or Spectrogram to position the Time Cursor and reset the selection. Then click Markers  Add marker (or right-click the Spectrogram and select Marker ).

Standard Point Markers have the blue triangle icon. They can also have the “Thumb up” (green) or “Thumb down” (red) icon. There is no difference between the Thumb Markers and regular Point Markers except for the icon.
