What's the audio watermark that plays without the Voice Tracking module and can I remove it?

The audio watermark is an audio notice that PlayIt Live automatically adds to all voice tracks when you don't have a valid Voice Tracking module licence. This watermark states that the module needs to be purchased and is designed to prevent unlicensed use for broadcast purposes.

When does the watermark appear? The watermark will be overlaid on any voice track you record or play back in PlayIt Live if you don't have an active Voice Tracking module licence. This applies whether you're recording voice tracks directly in PlayIt Live or using remote voice tracking functionality.

Can I remove the watermark without purchasing? No, the watermark cannot be removed or disabled without purchasing the Voice Tracking module. This is intentional - the watermark ensures that voice tracks are unsuitable for broadcast without proper licensing, encouraging you to purchase the module if you want to use it professionally.

How to remove the watermark: To remove the watermark permanently, you need to purchase the Voice Tracking module or the Premium Module Bundle (which includes all modules). Once purchased:

  1. Your licence should automatically update within 30 minutes
  2. If it doesn't update automatically, go to Help > Licence Information and click Refresh Licence
  3. Ensure you're logged in with the correct PlayIt Software account that purchased the module

Important note about existing recordings: The watermark is only overlaid during playback and is not permanently recorded into your voice track files. This means any voice tracks you've already recorded will automatically play without the watermark once you purchase the module - you won't need to re-record anything.

Can I still evaluate the features? Yes, the Voice Tracking module is fully functional during evaluation - you can record voice tracks, edit segues, and test all features. The only limitation is the audio watermark on the output, making it perfect for testing the functionality before committing to a purchase.
