You can customize any of them via the Action List.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd16 Project Markers (on timeline)\n\n| Action | Shortcut / Mouse |\n|---|---|\n| Insert a marker (numbered, no name) at current edit/play cursor | **M** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Insert a named marker \u2014 prompt for name | **Shift + M** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Go to marker 1-10 (main keyboard row, not numpad) | **1** through **0** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Move existing marker 1-10 to cursor, or create marker of that number if none exists | **Ctrl + 1-9, Ctrl + 0** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Go to Next Marker / Project End | **]** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Go to Previous Marker / Project Start | **[** ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Jump to any marker by name or number | **Ctrl + J**, then type `m` + marker number or name (e.g. `m2`) ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Open/Edit marker dialog (change name, color) | Shift-double-click on the marker number in the ruler/lane ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Remove a marker | Alt-click on the marker flag itself ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n### \u2702\ufe0f Take Markers (within media items/takes)\n\nTake markers are markers bound to content inside an item, not globally on the timeline.\n\n| Action | Shortcut / Mouse |\n|---|---|\n| Add/Edit take marker at cursor (opens dialog to name/color) | **Take \u2192 Take Markers \u2192 Add/Edit Take Marker** from menu OR **Shift + Alt + Left-click** over the item at desired position ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide712c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Jump to take marker via name | Press **Ctrl + J**, then type **k\u2019markername** (e.g. `k\u2019glitch`) ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide712c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Move to previous or next take marker in the item | Requires setting (or using) actions from Action List (\u201cTake: Go to next take marker / previous take marker\u201d) which you can assign yourself ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide712c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Delete a take marker | Alt-click the diamond shaped take marker, or via menu in Take \u2192 Take Markers ([reaper.fm](https://www.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide703c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can also pull up a printable cheat-sheet PDF of all marker-/region-related shortcuts for your version of REAPER."

        "content": "I wasn\u2019t able to find any clear documentation saying that marks in **Studio Recorder** are automatically recognized inside **REAPER**, or vice versa. Here\u2019s what I discovered, and what the possibilities / limitations likely are:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What Studio Recorder Marks Are\n\n- Studio Recorder supports \u201cmarks\u201d that you can insert at points in the audio; they show up as dashed vertical lines in the waveform view and in a \u201cMark Bar.\u201d ([tech.aph.org](https://tech.aph.org/sr_doc.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n- When you export to MP3, Studio Recorder saves a separate \u201c.mrk\u201d file alongside if there are marks, since MP3 itself doesn't support embedded marks. Those .mrk files are read when you reopen the MP3 in Studio Recorder. ([tech.aph.org](https://tech.aph.org/sr_doc.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0e What REAPER Supports\n\n- REAPER has robust support for project markers, regions, and take markers. These exist internally in REAPER\u2019s project files, and for media items as \u201cmedia cues\u201d when files include those cues. ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide736c.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- REAPER can render audio files with markers/regions embedded (as media cues), and then later import media cues from those items back into project markers. ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide736c.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Do They Interoperate?\n\nBecause Studio Recorder uses a separate `.mrk` file to store marks when exporting MP3s, and since REAPER typically recognizes markers embedded in file metadata or its own project files (or media cues), interoperability depends on whether:\n\n1. The `.mrk` format used by Studio Recorder matches a format that REAPER recognizes (as metadata or cues), or  \n2. A conversion/bridge process exists to import the `.mrk` file\u2019s data into REAPER as markers.\n\nFrom what I found, there is **no evidence** that REAPER natively reads Studio Recorder\u2019s `.mrk` files.\n\nAlso, since Studio Recorder seems to store marks in its own format only (in its project or file-specific auxiliary files, e.g. `.mrk`), that suggests marks won\u2019t show up in REAPER unless you manually import/convert them.\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What You Can Do / Workarounds\n\nIf you want to use marks in both Studio Recorder and REAPER, here are some probable workarounds:\n\n- Use a **common file format** that supports embedded markers or cues, if you can export from Studio Recorder into such a format that includes those markers (though I didn\u2019t find that Studio Recorder supports exporting with embedded cues recognized by DAWs).  \n- Export the `.mrk` file from Studio Recorder, then manually convert it into a format that REAPER understands (e.g. a text file with times + labels) and then import via REAPER\u2019s marker import or scripting.  \n- In REAPER, after rendering audio with embedded media cues, you can import those cues as REAPER project markers. ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide736c.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the version of Studio Recorder you're using, I can try to find whether that version offers marker exports in a DAW-friendly format, or even locate a utility to convert `.mrk` marks into something REAPER can import."
