Working with cues
Cues are the best way to bookmark spots in a waveform that you want to
frequently reference or come back to and edit. Once a cue has been created, you
can jump to it from anywhere in the waveform regardless of where your cursor is
located. Audio Editor also allows you to append information to a cue so that you
can denote certain features at that particular point in the waveform (for example,
marking the beginning of a long monologue, or denoting the point of impact
between two cars in a high speed chase).
To place a cue:
1. Click on the area in the waveform where you want to place a cue. (You may
want to zoom in for a more accurate placement.)
2. Click the Add Cue button on the Toolbar or click Control: Add Cue [F5] to
open the Add Cue dialog box.
3. Enter a description in the Cue name entry box (maximum 128 characters).
The default cue name, "&p" uses the time value of the cue's location for a
name. For example, a cue at the 1 minute 30 second mark would be named
"01:30:00".
4. Click OK. The Add Cue dialog box closes and a cue line appears at the cursor
position.
You can also place a cue while a file is playing by clicking Add Cue or
Control: Add Cue.
