Markers

Place markers on the Studio timeline to mark spots you want to come back to, add notes and colors, and jump to them quickly.

Written by Liz Bollema

Applies to: DJ.Studio 5.0 and later.

Markers let you mark spots on the Studio timeline that you want to come back to. Think of a transition you still want to fix, a drop you want to check, or a place where you plan to add a sample. You can add a note to each marker and give it a color, and then jump straight to it.

Markers work in both DJ mix and mashup projects.


Turn on markers

Markers are off by default. You need to turn them on in two places:

  1. In Settings: go to Settings > Interface and turn on Enable Markers.

  2. In your project: open the project in the Studio, click the eye icon in the top right corner, and turn on Markers.

If you only do step 1, you can't add markers in your project yet.


Add a marker

  1. Double-click in the timeline where you want the marker, or move the playhead there and press F8.

  2. Type a note, for example "fix this transition".

  3. Pick a color. Use colors to group markers, for example red for things to fix and green for spots you're happy with.


Find and jump to your markers

You can see all the markers in your project in one list. Click a marker in the list to jump to that spot in your mix.


Hide markers

To hide markers in a project, click the eye icon in the top right corner of the Studio and turn off Markers.

To turn off markers completely, go to Settings > Interface and turn off Enable Markers.


Frequently asked questions

Double-clicking the timeline or pressing F8 does nothing

Check that markers are turned on in both places:

  1. Settings > Interface > Enable Markers

  2. The eye icon in the top right corner of the Studio, for this project

If both are on and it still doesn't work, send us your log file via Help > Send log file and let us know what you were doing. Prefer to talk to a person? Start a chat and type DJS.
