"Pretty much we are talking about the mixer. Now you got a lot of mixes that you could choose from I preferably want one that has the low, mid, and highs and the trim and you know have little balancing and some features of the effect. You could put a little effect on and hook up the you know a effect kaos pad and and all that other stuff. One thing you should always know is you should have a mixer that has the option as far as to curve the cross fader. What that means is you could adjust when the full volume of the sounds comes in. So this is off. You could have it where it though were full volume comes in right there and that is pretty much turning that all the way down right there. So it is good for when you are trying to do certain scratches or if you are not into that you could always go and do it to the other side and this is more like the full volume will come in towards the middle like if you are mixing or if you are playing house music. It always a good thing to have to channel to have the cross fade as well cause you could do all kinds of different scratches and everything like that."
