Using the Marker Track

You'll probably want to quickly navigate to various areas of your Song during mixdown. In
Studio One, the Marker Track is used to place Markers at desired places in the timeline, after
which navigation to the Markers is easy. To open the Marker Track, click on the Marker Track
button above the Track Column in the Arrange view.
Notice the Timebase button to the right of the Marker Track in the Track column. The musical-
note icon on the Timebase button indicates that Markers will adhere to their position based
on bars and beats, so if the tempo changes, the Markers will move forward or backward in
time in relation to their musical position.
If you click on the Timebase button, it will switch to a clock icon, indicating that the Markers
will adhere to their absolute position in time. If the tempo changes, the Markers will not move,
as they are locked to an absolute time position in the timeline.
9.7.1 Inserting Markers
To insert a new Marker into the Marker Track, with playback running or stopped, click on the
Add Marker button or press [Insert]/[Y] on the keyboard. Each new marker will be numbered
sequentially by default (1, 2, 3...). To rename a Marker, double-click on it in the Marker Track,
type in a new name, and then press [Enter] on the keyboard.
9.7.2 Navigating Markers
You can quickly jump the playback cursor between Markers in the Marker Track. Click on the
Previous Marker button in the Transport, or press [Shift]+B on the keyboard, to jump to the
previous Marker. Click on the Next Marker button in the Transport, or press [Shift]+N on the
keyboard, to jump to the next Marker. Jumping to Markers during playback enables quick
comparisons between sections of your Song.
You can also jump to up to seven different Markers from the Transport/ Goto Marker menu.
