Remote Voice Tracking

 

As a remote voice tracker you can record voice tracks on a remote computer and send them to PlayIt Live or PlayIt Manager. You also edit segues and add additional tracks to the playout log if you wish.

 

Firstly, to start a remote voice tracking session you will require a Server URL, Username and Password. If you do not have these please request them from your radio station administrator.

 

To get started, click the Start Remote Session... button.

 

Enter the Server, Username and Password and click Connect.

 

You will be prompted to select a slot you are allowed to voice track into. Select and slot and click Select.

 

PlayIt VoiceTrack will download the voice tracking details including the start and end of the audio track files. The start of the track will be up until 10 seconds +  Audition Time after the intro point of the track and the end of the track will be from the last 10 seconds + Audition Time before the cue out point of the track.

 

An additional panel will be added to PlayIt VoiceTrack when in a remote session:

 

This section shows you the queue of commands that are sent back to the server when making changes. You can also log out by clicking the End Remote Session button. It is important to end session when you have finished to allow other users to connect if necessary.

 

PlayIt Live will show the start and end of the tracks with a gap for the voice track placeholder:

 

Double click on the voice track placeholder waveform box to launch the segue editor. You can also click the Record button on the playlist:

 

The segue editor works exactly the same as if you were recording a local voice tracked show. You can refer to the Your First Voice Tracked Show section for more detail.

 

Once you have recorded your voice track, click the Save button to close the window, or click Next Voice to move to the next voice track to record the next one.

 

When you record the voice track, the voice track is updated in the list and uploaded to the server.

 

Your segue changes are also applied. These changes are shown in the Update queue section:

 

Your changes are immediately applied to PlayIt Live or PlayIt Manager. There is nothing left to do except to record the rest of your voice tracks. Remember to End Remote Session when you have finished.

 

You can also drag tracks up and down the playlist to reorder, or you can drag tracks from the track list into the playlist. The track list show is the track list that exists on the server. When you add a track from the track list, the start and end audio is downloaded from the server.

 

Note, it is not possible to drop tracks that are on your own computer. You will need to add your own tracks to the server first.

 

Remote voice trackers do not require a Voice Tracking module licence in order to voice track remotely. This is required on PlayIt Live in order to broadcast voice tracks
