7 – 154 Playback and recording
• Activate the option “Confirm name of markers to drop” in the record set-
tings dialog.
In this case, a dialog will appear each time you click a button to drop a marker. In this dialog,
you can either type in a name for the marker, or you can confirm that you want to use an al-
ready entered name. The benefit of using this method is that the marker will be dropped at
the time position when you clicked the marker button, regardless of how long you take to
type in a name for the marker.
Furthermore, this dialog also allows you to specify a delay value for the marker. The marker
will then be dropped at the position when you clicked the marker button, minus the delay
value you specify. So if you clicked the marker button after 10 seconds of recording and
specify a delay value of 2 seconds, the marker will be dropped 8 seconds into the recording.
• Note: if you insert two or more region start markers in a row (with no region
end markers in between), only the last of these start markers will be kept
(the first marker(s) will be removed).
In other words, the last region start marker doesn’t become “permanent” until you insert a
region end marker.
The same goes for region end markers – if you insert several end markers in a row, only the
last one will be kept.
This is a very useful function, because it allows you to “change your mind”
when inserting markers during recording. For example, let’s say you are
recording a continuous performance and want to mark all takes worth
keeping. At the start of a take you insert a region start marker. However,
this turns out to be a false start or a flawed take. When the next take starts
you insert a new region start marker again and the previous, unwanted
start marker is removed.
