04ÌýThe Mixer When it comes to choosing a mixer don't be dazzled by the jargon.
Words like EQ, cross faders, FX, aux send and return will probably make your brain hurt (at first), but for now, just make sure that you concentrate on the basics to get the most out of your purchase.
To get started your mixer needs to have a minimum of two channels so you can change the volumes of the music playing on either turntable.
A cross fader to cut quickly between the two channels is vital and we also recommend you go for a mixer that has an EQ with 3 bands per channel - hi, mid and low.
Hi hats, cymbals and percussion will all be represented in the high frequency of the EQ so decreasing the amount of hi EQ will basically mean you hear these elements less.
Mid range frequencies are where the most vocals sit and low frequencies will hold the basslines and drum sounds.
