Hi. I have a few tips which might help a bit: You wrote: > 3. to place a marker you can hit command shift M.

You can just hit "M" to place a marker and avoid the marker dialog this way.
In the settings, you can select a checkbox which will play the audio you have selected when you press the spacebar. This checkbox isn't selected by default. If I only have to select a few seconds of audio, I find it much easier to use shift and the left and right arrow keys. You can then move the left edge of the selection by pressing a an s, and the right edge of the selection by pressing d and f. I'm currently trying to understand how multitracking works.
