What is the Voice Tracking module and why do I need it to use voice tracking features?

The Voice Tracking module is a premium add-on for PlayIt Live that enables professional voice tracking functionality for radio broadcasting. It's one of three premium modules available alongside Remote Management and Advanced Scheduling.

What is voice tracking:

Voice tracking is an industry-standard technique that creates the illusion of a live announcer in the studio when all the audio has actually been pre-recorded and played out automatically. This allows you to record a three-hour show in less than half an hour by recording voice segments between songs.

Key features of the Voice Tracking module:

  • Local voice tracking - Record voice tracks directly in PlayIt Live using the segue editor
  • Remote voice tracking - Allows presenters to record voice tracks from remote locations using a web browser
  • Unlimited concurrent users (with Premium Module Bundle) - Multiple presenters can voice track simultaneously
  • Professional audio quality - Voice tracks integrate smoothly with your music scheduling

Why you need the module:

Without the Voice Tracking module, you can still evaluate all voice tracking functionality, but your voice tracks will be preceded by an audio watermark (audio notice) requesting that you purchase the module. This makes voice tracks unsuitable for broadcast purposes.

What you can do without the module:

  • Record voice tracks using your microphone
  • Adjust timing and segues between tracks
  • Use the segue editor and all voice tracking tools
  • Test remote voice tracking functionality

The limitation:

  • Every voice track includes an audio watermark/notice
  • The notice plays before your recorded voice track
  • This prevents professional broadcast use without purchase

Purchasing options:

You can purchase the Voice Tracking module individually or as part of the Premium Module Bundle (which includes all modules and offers better value). The module is priced per concurrent user, meaning you only pay for the number of people who will be voice tracking at the same time.

Important note: The watermark is only overlaid during playback and not permanently recorded into your voice track files, so existing recordings will play without the watermark once you purchase the module.
