Greetings fellow mixer fans,
I have created a Python app to provide remote control of a DM4800 and I am close to releasing it. Details can be found on my GitHub page:
DM4800 Mixer Control
As of 2 Sep 2025, I have posted v0.9.0 as a release candidate. It is stable and fully functional but we all know that no software is ever perfect.
EDIT: I added a draft of the user guide to this post so folks can take a look at that too.
The backstory:
Having a need in my home studio for remote control I looked at a few other options, including the DMote Control app that @Rockum built. (hat tip to you, sir!). There were a few more functions I wanted the app to do and after evaluating options, I decided to 'vibe code' my own app. I am by no means a developer - I know enough about code to know I don't know enough about code. But I do know how to build pretty good requirements so I fed my requirements to an AI system and after several weeks I emerged with the DM4800 Mixer Control app.
I am using the MIT license for it, which means that anyone can use it, modify it, do whatever you want with it. I am not in this for money but rather for the love of music and gear and making the world just a little bit better whenever I can. I won't ever charge money for it or ask for money. If it makes you happy maybe just drop me a note saying it helped you out in some way.
Usage:
To use it, you will need to install Python and a few modules. At some point I may try to bundle it into a real app but no promises.
It runs on MacOS and Windows. It probably runs on Unix too but I haven't tested it on Unix.
I hope it provides some value to folks here and beyond. If you should be so inclined to try it or use it, please feel free to reach out with questions and feedback. I will do my best to respond in a reasonable timeframe.
