Use markers with the MainStage Playback plug-in

You can add an audio file containing markers, and use the markers to move to different parts of the audio file. You can also add markers in the Playback plug-in. The Playback window includes a shortcut menu that lets you add, name, and remove markers in the waveform display.

If Sync is on when you add a marker, the marker snaps to the closest beat to the left of the point where you click the waveform display. Similarly, when you delete a marker, the closest marker to the left of the point where you click is deleted.

You can add markers to audio files using the Logic Pro application.
