When digitizing sound recordings, I often need to know the length of an audio event. Or I have an indication that a movement is 8:23 long and should be cut there.
If the time ruler is set to “bars and beats”, the playing time is not displayed in mm:ss in the status line.
If you change the time ruler to seconds, the playing time duration is displayed in mm:ss.
And this way I can easily find a position like 8:23 (mm:ss) because the time ruler is also in mm:ss.
But every time I set the timecode at the beginning of an event on the position pointer to 0:00:00 - the time ruler resets to “bars and beats”, much to my annoyance. I basically have to change the time ruler every time. And to my surprise, there is no shortcut for this.
I want to set the time code to 0:00:00 at the beginning of an event, find the position e.g. 8:23 (mm:ss) on the time ruler and cut it - from there set the ruler back to 0:00:00 … and so on … But every time the time ruler jumps back to beats.
Does anyone have a solution that I’m missing?
