PlayIt Live

When it comes to live events, DJs not only need to plan out the schedule down to the millisecond and ensure those on the dance floor do not miss a beat, but also account for spontaneity, dedicated tracks from the audience and sponsor messages, which is where a powerful and customizable utility known as PlayIt Live comes into play.

Launching the program summons a highly detailed interface that makes the most of the screen real estate in order to ensure users have as many options as possible right at their fingertips, which is arguably a requirement to make quick changes in the heat of the moment and avoid gaps in the playback schedule. Once added on the right side, tracks can be easily dragged and dropped unto a playlist with hourly loading points that serves as a timeline for managing the order in which songs are meant to be played.

When selected, the first three tracks are displayed on the top playback section for changing between them on the spot, if necessary, while the timeline list underneath lets you preview the exact time remaining in the current hour to check if more songs can be added until the next part of the playlist. What is more, for those situations in which some people ask the DJ to play certain songs and switch the party’s mood, users can drag and drop the tracks unto the dedicated QuickCarts section for quick insertion.

For announcements, voice tracks can be recorded and placed in-between songs on the timeline and have it ready as opposed to making ones on the spot with possibly lower audio quality. Moreover, when it comes to complex schedules, notes can be inserted throughout the playlist as reminders of upcoming phases of a party. Finally, since grandiose events are often costly, advertisement segments can also be placed at specific points throughout the playlist’s runtime.

If you are looking for a comprehensive playout system for a radio station, podcast channel or party, PlayIt Live is the right tool for the job, given its wide array of features meant to simplify a disc jockey’s workflow, while also providing some of the best tools available in a complex layout that eliminates the need for any third-party applications.
