Track Markers for Editing

Post by Jackxxx » Thu Sep 06, 2018 7:14 pm

Is it possible to add a marker to a track as it's being recorded so, that it's obvious where mistakes are made? I have heard that Adobe Audition does it by pressing M while recording.

"Ctrl + M" places the marker ("label")
The label is left open so that you can type text into the label if you wish (optional).
"Enter" to close the label.
