Dibawah pemilih masukan (input selector) ada sebuah pengatur [[gain]], digunakan untuk menyamakan [[level sinyal]] pada masing-masing channel yang masuk ke mixer.Kemudian masing masing channel input dimasukkan ke tahap selanjutnya yaitu pengaturan nada pada sirkuit equalizer.Ketika akan melakukan transisi lagu, seorang DJ akan menyamakan hentakan [[bass]] agar sinkron dan mengurangi level bass pada salah satu level channel,sehingga mengurangi tabrakan bunyi hentakan bass yang mengganggu.
===Pengaturan Gain===
Below the input selector is a gain (or trim) control, used to match signal levels between channels. Next follows an equalizer section, used to fade parts of tracks in and out; a common basic technique is to kill the bass on one channel while mixing so the basslines of two tracks don't clash. A typical mixer features separate knobs for the low, mid and high frequency ranges. Some more controls may follow, such as a balance knob, built-in sound effects and aux-sends for external effects units. Below there's normally a cue switch sending the signal to the headphones, letting the DJ preview and beatmatch a track without sending it to the master output, but on some mixers there's a different way to select the cued source. The channel strip ends with a fader which sets the channel's signal volume in the final mix.
