Ardour markers in real-time

Post by halfsoul »

I am looking for functionality in Ardour that I use quite frequently in Audacity. In Audacity it is called "Add Label At Playback Position", but I'm having a hard time finding it in Ardour.

Example usage scenarios:
1. Recording live music: identifying song changes (to minimize searching later)
2. Recording band practices/jam sessions: identifying song changes (to identify "keeper" sections and/or minimize searching later)
3. Mixing: identify snap/pop locations, take notes, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this in Ardour?

Thanks in advance.

don't know if you can label them but you have "location markers"... you can than easely pull between the locations using the numpad-keys

Thank you, but perhaps I should have been more clear: I was looking for how to create the markers during playback/record.

Good news, though, I finally found what I was looking for: In Ardour it's called "create a new marker at the playhead location", and the quick-drop during playback is with the Keypad Enter.

Just FYI, you can also do it in realtime with the Frontier Tranzport. Very nice. :)

Best,
