The Pre-Fade Listen window is a feature in PlayIt Live that allows you to preview and listen to a track before it goes on air. This is essential for radio presenters who need to check tracks, find specific cue points, or prepare for smooth transitions.

How to access the Pre-Fade Listen window:

• Double-click method: By default, double-clicking any track in the track list will open the Pre-Fade Listen window • Right-click method: Right-click on any track in the track list and select Pre-Fade Listen from the context menu • Settings option: You can change the double-click behaviour in File > Settings > General Tab under Track list double-click behaviour

How to use the Pre-Fade Listen window:

• Use the Play and Stop buttons to control playback • Double-click anywhere on the waveform to jump to that specific position in the track • Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the waveform for more precise positioning • The audio will play through the device you've selected under Settings > Track Editor Audio Device

This tool is particularly useful for finding vocal entry points, checking track quality, or locating specific sections of a song before putting it on air.
