Timestamped Comments

Timestamped comments connect your feedback directly to the audio. Instead of saying “around the middle of the track,” you click the exact spot. The comment stays anchored to that moment, and anyone reading it can jump straight there with a single click.

Entering Comment Mode

Before you can place comments on the waveform, you need to switch to comment mode.

Load a track into the waveform player by selecting it in the grid
Look for the comment icon in the waveform toolbar (a speech bubble icon)
Click it to enable comment mode

When comment mode is active, your cursor changes over the waveform to indicate that clicks will create comments rather than seeking the playback position.

Point Comments

A point comment is linked to a single moment in the track.

To create one:

With comment mode active, click anywhere on the waveform
A comment input appears near the clicked position
Type your note — for example, “the kick hits too hard here” or “nice cymbal swell”
Press Enter to save

A marker appears on the waveform at that exact timestamp. The marker is a small visual indicator sitting on the waveform so you can see at a glance where comments exist.

Range Comments

A range comment spans a section of the track. Use these when your feedback covers a passage rather than a single moment.

To create one:

With comment mode active, click and drag across the waveform
A highlighted region appears showing the selected range
Type your comment in the input that appears
Press Enter to save

The range shows as a shaded region on the waveform with markers at the start and end points. This is perfect for feedback like:

“Love this section from 0:45 to 1:02”
“The mix feels muddy through this whole verse”
“Can we extend this breakdown?”

Navigating With Markers

Once comments are placed on the waveform, the markers become interactive.

Click a marker to jump the playback position to that exact timestamp
Hover over a marker to see a preview of the comment text
Click a range marker to jump to the start of the highlighted region

This turns the waveform into a visual map of all the feedback on a track. You can scan the markers to quickly see where comments are clustered and jump between them.

Timestamped comments also appear in the comments widget in the activity panel, just like general comments. The difference is that they display a time badge showing the timestamp or time range.

A point comment might show 1:23
A range comment might show 0:45 — 1:02

Click the time badge in the widget to jump the waveform player to that position. This works both ways — you can navigate from the waveform to the widget or from the widget to the waveform.

Practical Use Cases

Mix Feedback Sessions

Play through a bounce and drop point comments on anything that catches your ear. “Vocal too quiet,” “bass note rings too long,” “snare reverb feels good.” After one listen, you have a complete punch list.

Collaboration Notes

When a collaborator sends you a track, use range comments to highlight the sections you want to discuss. “Can you try a different chord progression through here?” covers more ground than a generic text message.

Self-Review

Listen back to your own work-in-progress and leave timestamps for your future self. “Come back to this transition” or “re-record this vocal take” — you will thank yourself when you open the session next week.

Marking Sections

Use range comments to informally label sections of a track: “Intro,” “Verse 1,” “Chorus,” “Bridge.” This gives you quick navigation markers without needing a formal arrangement tool.

Editing and Removing Timestamped Comments

Timestamped comments follow the same rules as general comments. You can edit your own comments after posting, and the timestamp or range stays intact. Deleting a comment removes its marker from the waveform.
