What are the silence analysis settings in PlayIt Live and how do they work?

The silence analysis settings in PlayIt Live automatically detect the Cue In and Cue Out points in your tracks by analysing silence at the start and end of audio files. This feature helps achieve the best sounding gapless playback by identifying where music actually begins and ends, excluding any silence periods.

You can find these settings by going to File > Settings from the Main Window menu, then looking for the "Silence analysis" section in the General tab. The settings determine how sensitive the automatic analysis will be when detecting silence levels.

The silence analysis is used in several ways:

  • When you click the Analyse button in the Track Editor window
  • Automatically when files are dragged and dropped from the file system onto a player
  • During the track import process if you tick Analyse silence in the Add Tracks wizard

This automatic detection saves time compared to manually setting cue points and ensures consistent, professional-sounding transitions between tracks during automated playout.
