File
Used to denote that this track is a linear file rather than an
MP3. Useful when you have MP3 and WAV copies of audio and wish to easily find
tracks that you *only* have as an MP3 (like when ripping a new CD
compilation album). Just as a JMD file will match track info (and Cart Numbers),
this marker can help you determine if the track already exists as a WAV
somewhere.
This will also export a Source attribute to mAirList v6 MMD as Source=MP3 or Source=WAV
AutoCue

Segue points for the audio track.

exists in this alternative folder. If it doesn't, the LED is red. If
the field is empty, the LED is greyed-out.
The various cue points can be set using F1-F5 and reviewed (PFL) using Shift-F1-F5. Pressing F8 will engage the EndMon (plays last 15 seconds).
During playback, pressing "Set" will place the relevant marker at that position. PFL will immediately begin playback from that position. The up/down buttons, during playback will allow you to accurately set the cue position.
Cue In
The start-point of the track - This is where the
track will play from. If exporting to EncoDAD, the CueIn (aka: Head) will
be a non-destructive edit so that the track always plays from this point.
When exporting to PSquared's Myriad, there is an option in the Import Wizard to
Automatically Trim Markers which will remove all
audio before the CueIn point - this is a destructive edit!
Intro 1, 2, 3

Hook In
The start of the
chorus or memorable "hook". Can be used in mAirList and Myriad to create
"hook teases" of upcoming
tracks in your playlist.
Hook Out
The end of the
memorable "hook".
Segue
The point at which
the next item will start in automation. This will also provide a value (in mm:ss format) for
the Duration field in the main view.
