    Have a play with others. SM58 is a higher output than my Sennheiser, for instance. Might be worth a try if you have gain problems.

    I turn the bass way down and turn the treble down a touch to avoid "essing", this worked for me with some practice - but I would imagine that everyone's voice needs to be EQ'd independently
    I personally like my mic channel to be a little bit louder than the music and so when I had a DDJSX briefly I would knock the other channels down a little. It did annoy me that the music levels never reached the 0db mark though. I got a mini mixer recently and whilst it's not needed I found it's a lot nicer to have a full EQ for your mic and a master EQ for your music and there is so much more headroom.
    I am using it with a S5 though which is tiny compared to the DDJSX
