How do I use the Voice Tracking module in PlayIt Live?

The Voice Tracking module allows you to pre-record voice links between songs to create the illusion of a live presenter, enabling you to produce a complete show in advance. This is an industry-standard technique that can help you record a three-hour show in less than half an hour.

To use voice tracking, start by adding tracks to your playout log for the hour you want to voice track, then drag a Voice Track item from the special items section into the log wherever you want to record a voice link. A placeholder will appear showing an estimated duration like [00:30]. Click the red Record button on the voice track item to launch the segue editor. Before recording for the first time, click Settings to configure your microphone device and audition time (the number of seconds you'll hear from the end of the previous track). Click the Record button or press R to begin recording, speak your voice link as the previous track plays, press R again to play the next track, then press R once more to stop recording. You can trim the audio, adjust volume using the fade envelope, and move the voice track position by dragging the top bar of the waveform. Click Next Voice to save and move to the next voice track, or Save to return to the playout log. Voice tracks can be recorded as far in advance as you need using the Go To Time button to navigate to future hours. If you don't have the Voice Tracking module activated in your licence, you can still evaluate the functionality but all voice tracks will be preceded by an audio watermark notice. To use voice tracking for broadcast without the watermark, purchase the Voice Tracking module and refresh your licence via Help > Licensing Information.
