I need a tool like the drop marker in the sonic foundry. While a record a file, I need mark some positions to the later edition.
Do you know if there is a similar tool in the audacity system?

In Audacity 1.3.12 you can add markers (labels) during recording with Ctrl+M

If you wish to add text to the marker (label) just type the required text after pressing Ctrl+M, then press ENTER to "close" the label text.

As Steve says you can use Ctrl+M to mark the current play/record position while playing or recording.

You can also similarly place labels at a cursor position while recording or playing - by placing your cursor and then typing Ctrl+B
