| | 5 | This function lets you insert an explicit Audio Marker into a Marker Layer. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | You will need a set of Audio Markers in a Marker Layer. This will usually have been created using [wiki:Help/Action/MakeSampledAudioLayer Make Sampled Audio Layer] from a GPX Layer. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The main reason for offering this function is to let you place an Audio Marker at the location of a synchronization cue point, so you have a marker to [wiki:Help/Action/SynchronizeAudio synchronize your sound track] to the GPS track. However you can also use it to insert missing audio markers (perhaps you forgot to make a waypoint in your GPS, or there is somewhere in the sound trackj that doesn't have a convenient marker to play from for whatever reason. |

| | 11 | If you are making Waypoints on your GPS, you wouldn't normally need this, though. But when you create a set of automatically sampled Audio Markers using [wiki:Help/Action/MakeSampledAudioLayer Make Sampled Audio Layer] you are unlikely to have an artifically generated point just at the landmark where you want to synchronize. So you need to add a Marker there explictly. |

| | 13 | == procedure == |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | 1. First locate where your synchronization landmark is (or any location you want a new Audio Marker). |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | 2. Find the Audio Marker which immediately precedes it on the GPS track and click it to play the audio from there. (Ignore the sound that is playing - it is not synchronized yet). |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | 3. Follow the play head (the orange arrow) until it reaches your landmark. Then [wiki:Help/Action/PlayPause Pause] play back. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | 4. Select Make Audio Marker At Play Head on the context menu for the Audio Marker Layer to add the new, explicit Marker. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | You can then [wiki:Help/Action/SynchronizeAudio synchronize] at that point. |
