Q-marks
Use Q-marks, (also known as cue marks) to mark points of interest
within a recording. Q-marks can be added and deleted during record-
ing, playback, pause, or scrub mode when viewing the Home screen.
Once added, they can easily be located to during playback on the
8-series. Q-marks are also embedded in the WAV le and can be read
by audio editing applications such as Reaper and Adobe Audition.
Note: Q-marks are only supported when using the BWF WAV format,
not the RF64 WAV format.
Note: Q-marks in auto-split les (due to BWF 4GB max size) are not
supported.
To add a Q-mark, hold Select and press >>.
The Q-mark number is displayed in blue at the top of the meter view
to the right of the take name. Each time a new Q-mark is added, the
Q-mark number is incremented. (Q01, Q02, Q03)
To delete a Q-mark, hold Select and press <<.
Q-marks can also be added and deleted using Toggle Switch Action
shortcuts, Midi mapped buttons, and USB Keyboard buttons ‘Q’ and
‘delete’.

SCRUB:
