Markers

Markers are timestamped notes on a track. Drop one the moment you hear something, then come back later to fix it, share it or loop it.

Quick markers: one tap#

Below the timeline are three coloured buttons: Red Green Blue.

One tap drops a marker of that colour at the current playback position. No dialog opens, and playback continues, so you can mark while walking, driving (as a passenger) or listening with your eyes closed.

Pick a colour system and stick to it. For example: red = problem to fix, green = sounds great, blue = idea or question. Later you can see at a glance where the problems are.

Markers show up in two places:

• On the timeline as small coloured triangles. Tap one to jump there.
• In the marker list below, sorted by time.

Markers with note and tag#

The fourth button, Add Marker (bookmark with a plus), opens a dialog where you can add:

• Note: what you heard, for example “vocal too loud in chorus”.
• Tag: a short keyword such as vocal, mix or solo. Tags are shown as #vocal and can be searched.
• Colour: six colours are available: teal, red, green, yellow, blue and orange.

The search field in the library finds files by name, metadata, marker notes and tags, so good notes make your markers easy to find later.

Edit, move and delete#

Loop between markers#

In Simple Mode the player has a ∞ marker loop button. It is perfect for practising a solo, learning lyrics or checking a single transition again and again.

1. Place markers at the start and end of the section you want to repeat.
2. Tap the ∞ button in the player toolbar. Each marker row now shows its own ∞ icon.
3. Tap ∞ on a marker. LiveMarks loops from the previous marker up to that marker (or from the start of the track if it is the first marker) and starts playing.
4. Tap the same ∞ again to stop looping.

The separate loop button next to it (two arrows in a circle) repeats the whole track.

Copy markers as text#

The Copy icon (two overlapping pages) at the top of the marker list copies all markers for the current track to the clipboard as plain text. Paste it anywhere: an e-mail to the band, a message to your mixing engineer, a notes app or a DAW track note.

The text looks like this:

Artist - Song title
————————————————————
[00:03.9] #green
[00:07.8] - Kick too loud #mix
[00:34.2] #red
[01:40.7] - Great vocal take #vocal

• Every line starts with the exact time in brackets.
• The note follows after a dash, if the marker has one.
• The tag is shown with #. If the marker has no tag, its colour name is used instead.

Want to send markers and audio? Use Share from the ⋮ menu instead. You can share markers only, audio files, or both.

Fullscreen marker list#

Long sessions can collect dozens of markers. The Fullscreen icon (four corners) next to the copy button hides the time display, transport buttons and timeline, so the marker list uses the whole screen.

• Playback continues while the list is expanded.
• Tap a marker to jump to it, exactly as in the normal view.
• Tap the icon again to return to the normal player.
