Location Marks
Points of interest may be noted with the M
ARK
key at any time. These Location Marks
are indicated by a small tick above and below each waveform display as shown in the figure
below:

WAVEFORM DISPLAY SHOWING LOCATION MARKS ON BOTH TRACKS
Location Marks are not the same thing as the Edit Marks, and are used solely to mark a
location so it can be quickly found in the future. Most Edit operations leave Location Marks to
assist in finding past edit positions.
The A
RM
buttons determine on which track the Location Marks will be placed. In stereo
operation, a pair of tick marks will appear above and below the two waveform displays.
Marks are always tied to the audio they are associated with, and not to a time reference.
If a single track is edited, two marks beyond that edit may become displaced from each other;
and in the case of deletion, a mark may disappear along with its audio. Deleting a segment of a
File does not slip the marks with respect to audio.
The G
O
T
O
keys will quickly "tab" to the next Mark on any armed track. This feature
can be used to advantage. When many Marks have been placed, "disarming" both tracks will
limit the search to only five places: Start of File, the Zero Mark, Edit-In mark, Edit-Out mark,
and End of File. By selectively arming tracks an entirely different set of Location Marks can be
placed on each of the two tracks.
A Location Mark may be removed by locating to it (with the G
O
T
O
keys) and pressing
M
ARK
again. The Mark symbol will disappear. A range of marks may be removed by
highlighting an area containing the marks, holding the U
NDO
key, and pressing M
ARK
.
The Zero Mark
Zero Mark allows you to specify a point in the file you are editing that you can
immediately re-locate to. You can set a starting point in a file without cutting all the material
before that point. It does not affect the Time Display or the start point of playback in the
Files Display.
The Zero Mark is distinguished as a small triangle at the bottom of the waveform
display, just below where the triangle at the bottom of the Cursor is displayed. It is initially
set to the beginning of the file. A single Zero Mark always exists in every file.
