I'm building an automation plug-in for remotely controlling MC via sockets. The only way I can control zone volume levels independently is via DSP Studio's preamp output; however, the current MJMixer setup does not work with the "current" zone - only zone 1.

I would like to be able to control the zone's entire eq; however, I'll take access to just the preamp (band0) being tied to the currently active zone in the MixerAutomation.

Plus, the window title of the DSP does not reflect the actual zone name. In MC, it might be Living Room - but the DSP title says: (zone 2). If that corresponded, maybe I could build a workaround via Window Messages.

Is this in the works at all? Am I missing something (quite possible)? Am I the only one.

Also, is there any way to expose the PeakLevel to the MixerAutomation - so that can be read and acted on?

Thanks,
Dan

In the next build:

Changed: MJMixerAutomation now loads / saves settings for current zone instead of zone 0.

Hopefully it'll help.  In the future we may make zone-specific volume control work.

Thanks.

Matt,

You're the man! You know my next question, right? When's the next build?

Obviously I'm pretty excited for this, also.

Obviously full zone control (via a CMJZoneAutomation object or something) is the holy grail here, so that you can control more than one zone simultaneously. Right now you cannot have two control devices each controlling their own zone.

Ben, how's it going?

While we're here - how about I throw this out:

What are the possibilities of zone mirror/zone synching. For instance, a checkbox in Zone 2, Zone 3, etc. that allows me to duplicate Zone 1 output in those zones. If I want to feed the same stream to the Family Room, Kitchen and Basement - I just have to turn on Zone 1 mirroring - or I can turn it off and control those zones playlist/output independently.

That would be nirvana!
