Transfer of markers

Here is the situation.
Recording directly into SF and placing markers at points of
interest while recording e.g where songs change but no
silence.
We then open the file in Architect but the markers do not
transfer over - we cant find our "points of interest"
easily.
Hunted through the manual but it looks like this function
doesnt work or is not available - are we doing something
wrong?

Try turning your markers into regions. The regions will show up under
the file name. This will make it very easy to assemble your PQ list
ie. region = track.

To turn markers into regions just double click after a marker and
everything from that marker to the next will be selected. Hit "R" on
the keyboard to make a region and name it.

Make sure you only drop markers at the start of a track. The end of
each track will be the marker at the start of the next. This prevents
accidentally cutting out some information because if you don't make a
region it won't show up in CDA (unless that's what you're after). In
CDA you just add the regions in order and you have your entire file
with Tracks converted from the markers you originally dropped during
the transfer. It usually only takes about 30 sec to a minute for me
to convert markers to regions and it saves a ton of time in the long
run.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Andrew L.'s response. However, you need to remember to
turn off the auto pause time between tracks option in the preferences
| editing menu or you will end up creating gaps in between each track.

Thank you for the suggestions but that doesnt help - you see we
already mark regions for exactly the purposes you outline (track
placement etc) but where the markers fit in is ....
We do transfers to cd from dat,minidisc,cassette etc and say we have a
long continuous music track being transferred to the daw machine.
While the engineer is monitoring the transfer, he manually places
markers where for example a new song starts (live performance, no
breaks in the recording are desired). So when the transfer is
finished, we have a long .wav file with a number of markers. Now if we
open the file in CDA, the markers are not visible. It would be nice if
we could just see those markers but it looks like CDA can only "see"
regions which we normally do make but we just wondered if markers
could somehow be seen in CDA, without changing them to regions.
