What makes it a little bit easier to place your marker exactly where you what it to be is: by pressing k or shift k you can hear a short peace before and a short peace after the insertion point. And with a and f you can remove it depending on the chosen zoom level. But still work is way slowlier

Not to mention which, if it's music you are editing, there's the tiny fraction of time when you anticipate the down beat of a measure; and, in anticipation of this, you might perhaps press the M key too early or late. That's one thing I do love about Amadeus Pro. You can slow down the playback

But then you could never be as exact as you wanted, given that it takes a smallish fragment of time from the moment you hear the place where you want to put the marker and your hand actually having pressed the M key. Yes, it's a very very small fragment of time, that's true, but in precition edi

Hi, You are correct that there is not a pre and post as you describe. As far as scrubbing being useless, I disagree. I simply use scrubbing to get to exactly where I want to edit and tap the "m" key to set a mark. It works like a charm for me. Robert On Feb 9, 2012, at 8:20 AM, Krister Ekstr

Hi Marlaina, at first: Amadeus Pro is great. But with Sound Forge I'm way faster. Amadeus is a bit less intuitive. 1. Amadeus has not that many short cuts as SF. But you can define your own ones in the system preferences. That's much better then in Windows. 2. You should read the help section
