PlayIt Live includes automatic silence analysis to detect Cue In and Cue Out points, which helps achieve gapless playback and proper track transitions. These settings can be configured to match your audio library's characteristics.

Where to configure silence analysis:

Go to File > Settings, then click the General tab. Look for the Silence analysis section near the bottom of the settings window.

What the settings control:

The silence analysis settings determine how sensitive PlayIt Live is when detecting silence at the beginning and end of tracks. You can adjust the sensitivity levels to work optimally with your specific audio files and quality standards.

How automatic detection works:

• Cue In detection: Finds where the actual audio begins after any silence at the start of the track
• Cue Out detection: Identifies where the track effectively ends before any trailing silence or fade-out
• Real-time application: These settings are also used when you drag and drop files directly from your file system onto players

Using the analysis:

Once configured, you can apply automatic detection in several ways:

• Individual tracks: In the Track Editor (via Manage > Tracks), click the Analyse button to automatically detect and set cue points
• Drag-and-drop: When you drag files directly onto players, the analysis runs automatically
• Voice track analysis: Similar settings apply to voice track recordings to help with ducking and segues

Fine-tuning results:

After automatic analysis, you can manually adjust cue points if needed using the track editor's waveform display. Use the Set button while listening to position cue points precisely, or use keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys) for fine adjustments.

Benefits:

Properly configured silence analysis ensures smooth transitions between tracks, eliminates dead air, and creates professional-sounding segues without manual intervention for each track.
