I used a zillion the other day on a billy cobham drum solo!!

a QUINSPINKILLIIAN would have been a useful no. to have but i just invented it, sometimes my trousers leak in the autumn wind and my hair whispers to my ankles "bleak outlook" my heart warms as i think of the warm bovril waiting for me in the shack of songs.

Use the amount that requires you to smile and love your legs of smooth mastery.

With music written by other computers, usually just the first one. Sometimes I'll toss in an extra one halfway through the track, and other times 2, if necessary. Usually I can get the whole track to be perfectly sync'd with just a single marker at the beginning.

For stuff ripped from turntables, about 10-15... however many it takes to compensate for the drift.

For rock music, and particularly with bands that have shitty drummers, the sky's the limit. However, I always end up with far less than live5's seems to want to use by default. ;)

Every 8 bars if it drifts usually, otherwise less but always that it fits 8 or 16 bar loops to keep things clear.
Be aware to not destroy the groove of a track with too many markers and micro adjustments.

Before and after longer breaks, it´s there where most not computerized tracks drift a lot.

And always when something happens in the track where it´s worth to loop, as infomarker.

Would be cool if we could have markers like in arrangement, renamable and a jump to function.

3 or 4 usually, typically just to help me see where different or important parts of the song are at a glance (for DJing).

as often as I need (up to twice a bar on one track) but I'll put one every thirty two bars for shits and giggles if the track seems to have good timing.
