What is Remote Voice Tracking and how do I configure it?

Remote Voice Tracking allows presenters to record voice tracks between songs from any location using just a web browser. The presenter connects remotely to your PlayIt Live installation and can record voice tracks directly into your playout log, edit segues, and even add additional tracks from your library.

Configuration requires four main steps:

Enable remote connections - Go to File > Enable remote connections in PlayIt Live, expand the Advanced section, ensure Use HTTPS is checked, and click Start Server. Note the remote URL provided for users to connect.

Set up users - Access Manage > Users, click Add New, and create usernames and passwords for remote presenters. Use the Remote Voice Tracking grid to specify which hours each user can voice track into.

Add voice track placeholders - Drag the Voice Track button from the main interface onto your playout log to create gaps where presenters can record. You can also add these via Manage > Playout Log or through clocks.

Share connection details - Provide your remote presenters with the remote URL (usually ending in .playitradio.com), their username, and password. They can then voice track using any Chrome-based browser from anywhere with an internet connection.
