The Track Editor Audio Device setting determines which audio output device (sound card) is used for playback in several specific areas of PlayIt Live that are separate from your main broadcast output.

This setting controls audio playback for:

• Track Editor: When adding or editing tracks using Manage > Tracks
• Pre-Fade Listen window: When previewing tracks before they go to air
• Segue Editor: When editing transitions between tracks or recording voice tracks

The Track Editor Audio Device is typically set to a different output than your main broadcast players, allowing you to privately audition and edit content through headphones or studio monitors without interrupting your live broadcast. This is essential for professional radio operations where you need to preview tracks, set cue points, or record voice tracks whilst other content is playing on air.

To configure this setting, go to File > Settings, select the General tab, and choose your preferred audio device from the Track editor audio device dropdown. Choose an output device that you can monitor privately, such as headphones or a separate set of speakers, rather than your main broadcast output.
