3.1SCS.3m – Traditional Mixer Comparisons
The SCS.3m was created to give you control of most common mixer functionality. You can see that the layout on the SCS.3m is symmetrical and that we are emulating a
Let’s begin by comparing the different control groups on the SCS.3m to their counterparts on a traditional mixer.

Channel gains typically adjust the input level before the signal gets to the Channel Fader. In a digital environment, where software is able to handle input level adjustment, the Channel Gain is typically used to calibrate the Channel Faders (so that each track has the same basic loudness at the same point on the Channel Fader).

An EQ allows you to manipulate different frequencies. On the SCS.3m, the EQ section is separated into 3 sliders.
Each corresponds to a frequency range (Low, Mid, and High). You can use this to make subtle adjustments to a track to “match” it to your other track (for instance, if the bass is too boomy). Many DJs will mix tracks together not just with the volume, but will also lower the bass of the incoming track so it blends smoothly with the playing track. You can also use the EQs as effects, radically changing the sound of a playing track. (Figure 3.2)
