Wireless Control
With Self-DJ Ultimate -- boom, boom, turn out the lights. If you are not
using DMX lighting, rather than wire your lights and effects back to a
central switch panel so you can turn them on or off individually, wireless
X10® is a nice solution. The X10® Firecracker comes with one light
module, one appliance module, a hand-held remote, and a transmitter
that plugs into the serial port on your computer for about $50 from
http://www.x10.com. Use the wireless remote, or control devices from
the SDJ touch screen. A USB version is in the works.
Volume Limiter
The built-in volume limiter in Setup, limits the actual gain when using
the volume slider. This looks to the user like they are at full volume,
when in fact, they are only at the % of max volume as defined in Setup.
This can be used to protect your equipment when speaker input levels
are set to the max, or in cases where guests might tamper with settings.
Versions of Windows prior to Vista use both a main system and wave
level. Newer versions of Windows use only a main volume level.
