Render
Clicking opens the Render dialog. Right-clicking opens a menu

dialog, render using the last settings, or use in-place rendering.
Playback goes through Master Section
If this option is deactivated, the Master Section is ignored during 
playback of any file, freeing up resources. However, rendering to 
file is still possible. If playback is activated when you change this 
option, it stops and restarts.

In-Place Rendering
In the Audio Files workspace, you can process a section of an audio file 
or the whole audio file directly from within a plug-in window, without any 
intermediary step. This is a quick way to process several audio sections 
in an audio file, or test the effect of different plug-ins on an audio file.
When using this function, the following render settings are always 
active:
• Fade-in/out at boundaries
• Exclude bypassed plug-ins
NOTE
Once an audio section...

About Dropouts
156
• Do not process any files in the background.
• If neither of the above helps, check the audio card preference 
settings. You might need to adjust the audio buffer settings. If a 
dropout occurs during a real-time mastering process we 
recommend that you re-master. Stop playback, click the dropout 
indicator to reset it, and try again.

Markers
Markers allow you to save and name certain positions in a file. Markers 
are useful for editing and playback, for example, to indicate cue points 
or absolute time locations, to highlight problem sections, and to visually 
separate tracks.
For example, markers can be used to:
• Set the wave cursor to a specific position.
• Select all audio between two positions.
NOTE
The functions in the Markers window of the Audio Files workspace and 
the Audio Montage workspace are the same. However, the...
