Bring the PC Hold Launchpad into view.

The PC Hold Launchpad allows the creation of new playlists or selection and playing of previously created playlists.

If Announcements are required in the playlist, the announcements must be created, first. HELP for creating announcements is HERE.

To create a new playlist from the Launchpad (PC Hold must be runnng):

  1. Click on the button "Create and Edit Playlists"

  2. Click an item (highlight) in the list on the left - "All Audio Items".

  3. Click the (blue) right-pointing arrow.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the playlist is finished.

Once the playlist has all the items necessary, we should test each item for it's volume level. PC Hold has volume sliders for each item, in order for the volume for each item in the list to be set separately, allowing for professionally sounding playlists. This test procedure allows for testing "by ear", so that we can compare that all items in the playlist are set at the same volume.

  1. Click an item in the "Current Playlist" window.

  2. Click the (green) PLAY button to start playing.

  3. Click the (red) PLAY button to stop playing.

  4. Adjust the slider for louder or softer volume.

  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each item in the playlist.

When all items have been checked and we are satisfied with the results, we must SAVE the playlist. Click the floppy icon to SAVE.

To save Playlists for use in PC HOLD, the recordings must be saved in the folder, "PCHOLD". When saving the very first file, the path to the folder must be manually set - after this is accomplished initially, the path to the subfolder is remembered.

The path is manually set by the user in the following manner:

  1. After clicking the SAVE (floppy icon), the "save as" window comes up; to change the path, click on the yellow folder with the "up" arrow (to the right of the "save in" box) as many times as it takes to have "C:" show in the "Save in" box.

  2. 2-click on the folder, "PC HOLD" (scroll, if necessary to see it).

  3. The "save in" box should now have "PCHOLD" showing; type a file name in the "file name" box (PC HOLD will assign the extension of ".wav") and click on "SAVE".
