Storage of audio intended for future use during edit operations.
EDIT KEYS
All editing operations in Shortcut are accomplished by first defining a region of audio
with two marks called Edit In and Edit Out. After these marks are placed, the audio waveform
between them appears as a highlighted region. Once a region is defined, it is then possible to
perform other operations such as Cut, Copy, Erase, Insert, etc.
Mark (Locating Marks) and Zero Mark
Locating Marks are used as "bookmarks" to find a particular spot in a recording at a later
time. They are placed with the
bottom of the display. In practice, a Locating Mark can be placed in a file at any time— even
during the original recording. They can speed up the editing process by marking "keepers" and
avoiding a second review of an entire recording.
Marks are also automatically placed wherever an editing operation took place. It is
therefore possible to return to a location and revise previous work.
There is also a special Zero Mark. It is used to designate a point in a file to return to
immediately, skipping over other marks and edit points. It is placed at the current Cursor
position by holding Mark and pressing the "0" key (H
small triangle below the waveform display. It does not affect the beginning of playback from
the Files Display, or the display of Cursor Position time in the Editor.
To return to the Zero Mark, press
press
twice to return from a point later in the file.
