while selections are used to store Edit selections (edit locations). In this
lesson, we will work only with markers.
In addition to storing a Timeline selection, a marker can store a variety of
additional information, such as the current zoom setting, track height settings,
track show/hide status, and more. Timeline locations and other settings
stored with a marker memory location are reestablished when the memory
location is later recalled.
Creating a Marker
Markers can be added to a session at any time. Often you will be able to set
markers at specified points when playback is stopped. Other times, you might
find it useful to add markers on the fly during playback or recording.
Adding Markers at Specified Points
To create a marker at a specified point, do the following:
1. If it is not already displayed, choose VIEW > RULERS > MARKERS to
display the Markers Ruler.
2. Place the cursor or make a selection at the desired location in the track.
3. Click the ADD MARKER/MEMORY LOCATION button (plus sign) at the head
of the Markers Ruler. The New Memory Location dialog box will appear.

number, if desired.
