808ex and1210s

how do you stop the effects increasing volume in diskless mode as you cant set level
how doyou stop effects clicking and coming in late like delays etc or is that not possible in discless.
In disk mode you can moniter a sample but not bring it into the mix without restarting it, if for example you are sending to headphones by pressing shift key. iwant to be able to check a sample in my dj sets before dropping it without having to make sure i drop it in to the master sound exactly on time as i dont have send & return on my dj mixer.
any other tips on the uses of the 808ex and live dj sets welcome.
