Advanced: Working with Cue Points

Inserting cue points
MySoundStudio allows you to place a mark called Cue Point in any time point in the sound data so that you can quickly move to the particular location in the sound data. By placing cue points, you can proceed editing work efficiently. For example, you can quickly come back to the exact time point where you edited previously or play back from the particular point.

There are two types of cue point you can create in MySoundStudio: one applied to all the tracks in the file, and another applied to a single track.
To insert a cue point applied to all tracks
1. On the Time Ruler, click the point on which you want to insert a cue point.
2. Choose Edit - New CuePoint or press M on your keyboard. A mark appears at the time point you clicked, indicating the cue point is inserted there.
3. Choose View - CuePoint/Section/Loop List. The CuePoint/Section/Loop List window opens.
Click the row labeled CUE-01. The flashing cursor moves to the time point under CUE-01 on the Multi-track window.
Click the Play button on Controller to playback the sound from CUE-01 position.
To insert a cue point on the individual track
1. In the Waveform display area, click the point where you want to insert a cue point, and select Edit - New CuePoint.
2. Choose View - CuePoint/Section. The Cue Point/Section display area appears above the track, with a blue mark indicating the time point where the cue point is inserted.
3. Choose View - CuePoint/Section/Loop List. The CuePoint/Section/Loop List window opens.
Click the row labeled CUE-02. The flashing cursor moves to the time point under CUE-01 on the Multi-track window. Click the Play button on Controller to playback the sound from CUE-02 position.
Saving cue points
Cue point information can be saved in MySoundStudio format, AIFF format, or WAVE format.
Files saved in MySoundStudio format:
All cue points and sections will be maintained.
Files saved in WAV/AIFF formats:
Only cue points applied to all tracks will be maintained.
Cue points saved in AIFF or WAV format can be loaded in the other applications which support these file formats.

WAV and AIFF files saved with cue point information can be imported in to multimedia contents editors to use it as multimedia materials.
