What is the fade time setting and how does it affect track playback when I click stop?

The fade time setting controls how long it takes for a track to fade out when you click the stop or eject button on any player in PlayIt Live. Instead of cutting off abruptly, the track will gradually reduce in volume over the specified duration, creating a smoother transition for your listeners.

You can adjust the fade time via File > Settings > General Tab where you'll find a dropdown menu to select the fade duration, with options up to 5 seconds. This same fade time is also applied when tracks segue into each other in Live-Assist mode, helping create professional-sounding transitions between songs. Choose a shorter fade time if you need quick control during live broadcasting, or a longer fade time for more gradual, musical transitions.
