CHAPTER 2: EDITING AUDIO FILES 251Working with cuesCues are the best way to bookmark spots in a waveform that you want tofrequently reference or come back to and edit. Once a cue has been created, youcan jump to it from anywhere in the waveform regardless of where your cursor islocated. Audio Editor also allows you to append information to a cue so that youcan denote certain features at that particular point in the waveform (for example,marking the beginning of a long monologue, or denoting the point of impactbetween two cars in a high speed chase).To place a cue:1. Click on the area in the waveform where you want to place a cue. (You maywant to zoom in for a more accurate placement.)2. Click the Add Cue button on the Toolbar or click Control: Add Cue [F5] toopen the Add Cue dialog box.3. Enter a description in the Cue name entry box (maximum 128 characters).The default cue name, "&p" uses the time value of the cue's location for aname. For example, a cue at the 1 minute 30 second mark would be named"01:30:00".4. Click OK. The Add Cue dialog box closes and a cue line appears at the cursorposition.You can also place a cue while a file is playing by clicking Add Cue orControl: Add Cue.Placing cues on a waveform
