Default Dropping Markers With the Keyboard

Hey guys,


On my iMac, when I hit play and am listening to my 'song', is there a key, or key combination, I can use to place a marker every time I hit the key?

Default Dropping Markers With the Keyboard

Press enter on the numeric keypad.

Period, number, period on the numeric keyboard to recall specific marker.

FYI - all in the reference manual.

So...When a track is running, and I hit the numeric pad <enter> it brings up the New Memory Location pop-up window. I then have to hit <enter> again to set the new Marker.


So it's a double tap for each marker? It feels like I am missing something. Is there a way to drop a marker with every tap?

LOL. I don't even have a Preferences option.


Fair enough.
