Working with Tags

Tags are often referred to simply as Cues. They represent parts of the track you may want to quickly jump to and are usually at the same point as section breaks, although they can work independently of section breaks.

There are three types of tags - TC (Timecode), Midi and Cue. They are managed in exactly the same way, although the format for each tag differs slightly.

Adding a tag to the track

• Right-click the bar where you want to add a tag, left-click the tag text field and type in the tag data you want to add.

• TC (Timecode) tags require a format of HH:MM:SS:FF.

• MIDI tags require a format of # where # is a Midi note number.

• Cue tags require a format of X.Y.Z to allow for triggering from a DMX console or OSC application.

Alternatively, you can hit Ctrl+T, which lets you type in or edit the tag data for the current cursor position.

Removing a tag from the track

• Select the already added tag data in the tag field and press the Backspace key followed by Enter or left-click the OK button.

• Alternatively, right-click on the tag and left-click Delete in the track options editor.

Remove all tags

It is also possible to remove all tags from a track or section of a track by selecting the section of timeline where the tags are to be deleted, then right-click in the shaded area to open the Track Options window; once open, select Remove Tags.

Moving a tag on the track

• Hold Alt & left-click and drag the tag horizontally along the track.
