I did heaer the tutorial type review for Sound Forge. I had a play with the demo just the other night and found it so accessible even with the unlabeled buttons that I'm going to switch to it in spring. Back to Amadeus Pro for the sake of keeping on subject. I do love amadeus pro. It has served me well for all the time I had my Mac: November 2009. IF one cannot afford Sound Forge, amadeus Pro is the way to go and it's loaded with stuff you will make frequent use of. The two curser approatch they use in amadeus Pro threw me at first, but, honestly, once you get used to it, there are some big advantages to having it done this way. Now, back to your marker placing issue. Sometimes, VO goes out of focus, (seemingly more so under 10.0.2), but, the way I deal with it is to rout the insertion point to the spot I want to drop a marker by using CMD+y. Then, pressing the p key. Even faster, you can do this while actually playing the file. Listen for the spot you want to drop the marker in and the instent you know exactly when it's coming up, press the p key right at the instent you want the marker. What I love is the fact that with Amadeus Pro, you can actually use the up and down arrow key's while playing the file. This will cause the playback to slow down or speed up and, if you've got a tricky spot you want to drop the marker in, you just slow it all the way down and that will help you drop the marker with the p key in just exactly the right place. You can always use the a s d and f keys to move the size of your selection afterwards should you wish or need to do so.
