Chapter 5
Working in the Track View
This chapter introduces you to several ACID® features that increase your productivity, such as markers, regions, and 
snapping options. You’ll also learn about the different ways to change a project’s tempo, key, and time signature. Finally, 
you’ll learn several options for adjusting the project timeline. 
Using project markers and regions 
ACID markers and regions identify areas of your project and provide navigational cues for quickly finding those areas. 
After you insert markers and regions, you may adjust their position along the project’s timeline and label them with 
meaningful names for your reference. 
Marker type
Description 
Marker (standard)
Markers identify specific reference points in your project. Points that you
may want to identify are introductions, bridges, refrains, choruses, or
whatever you choose.
Time marker 
Time markers are fixed to the time ruler and mark absolute time in your 
project. They are very useful when scoring video. 
Command marker 
Command markers indicate when an instruction or function occurs in a 
streaming media file. 
Region 
Regions subdivide your project into time segments. Regions have in and out 
points, which allow them to function as permanent time selections. 
Working with standard markers 
Markers are tools that can make creating music easier by identifying specific points along the project’s timeline. They can 
be named, moved, and serve as snap and navigational points for the cursor and events. When you place markers, they are 
automatically numbered (up to 99) in the order that you place them. 
Placing markers 
Markers are placed at the cursor position. You may place a marker in one of the following ways: 
From  the
 Insert menu, choose Marker
Right-click the marker bar, choose Markers/Regions from the shortcut menu, and choose Insert Marker from the 
submenu. 
Press M. You may use this method to place a marker while the project is playing.
