707

General Properties

All three types of Memory Locations (Marker,
Selection, and None) can store and recall any
combination of the following General Proper-
ties:

Number

Change the number to overwrite an ex-

isting Memory Location, or to reorder Memory
Locations in the Memory Locations window.

Name

Enter a descriptive name for each memory

location.

Zoom Settings

Recalls the horizontal, audio,

and MIDI zoom values for audio, MIDI, and In-
strument tracks.

Pre/Post Roll Times

Recalls pre- and post-roll

times (but not whether they are enabled). This
property can be stored with a Selection Memory
Location to recall record and play ranges along
with pre- and post-roll.

Track Show/Hide

Recalls which tracks are hid-

den. Use this property to display groups of
tracks for editing and mixing.

Track Heights

Recalls all Track Heights. Use this

option along with Zoom Settings to recall edit
environments that are suited for particular
tasks, such as editing down to the sample level
or trimming MIDI notes.

Group Enables

Recalls which Edit and Mix

Groups are enabled. This option is helpful in re-
calling groups for particular edit and mixing op-
erations, such as muting all drum tracks or fad-
ing a stereo pair.

Window Configuration

Recalls a specific Window

Configuration. This option is helpful in recall-
ing specific Window Configurations to facilitate
editing or mixing tasks. For more information
on Window Configurations, see “Window Con-
figurations” on page 142.

Comments

All three types of Memory Locations (Marker,
Selection, and None) can store and recall com-
ments. You can enter a maximum of 255 char-
acters to describe the Memory Location. You can
also edit comments previously entered.

Creating Memory Locations

Memory Locations can be created in different
ways, based on the type of Memory Location.

When creating Memory Locations, the next
available number is assigned to it (1–999). This
number is used in recalling the Memory Loca-
tion from the numeric keypad.

To create a Marker Memory Location:

Configure any session settings you will save

with the Marker Memory Location, such as
zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times,
Show/Hide status for tracks, Track Heights, and
Edit and Mix Group enables.

If necessary, enable Options > Link Timeline and

Edit Selection

Ensure that the Markers ruler is displayed

(View > Rulers > Markers).

See “Creating Memory Locations” on
page 707 and “Editing Memory Locations”
on page 710 for more information.
