Sorry for the stutter in the waveform during playback! Found out how to fix after recording the video and will have fixed for the next video! Thanks for watching 🙌🏽

I’m already quite an experienced dj over 25 years but it’s good to see fellow DJs point these things out around EQing. A lot of DJs make the mistake that it’s just about beat matching, it isn’t…knowing how to kill certain frequencies of a track so the new track coming in doesn’t sound all over the place is so important. 👍 good video

[johnnybfernz]

Thank you man. DJing 15 yrs and still see lot of people skipping the basics. This is such simple easy education.

[henningv]

Thank you so much for this tip! I was just self teaching me and by accident watched your video. It instantly improved my mixes so much. Thx a lot.

Simple Advice Worth it's Weight In Gold 🎧💎

[oiyip]

Thank you. That makes so much sense now why I have to adjust the eq

[DJSpinCore]

Hello ! Great video for the beginners ! I would add to this that the "trim" are also important and need to not be pushed too much on the right too, I personally let them a little on the left to be safe :)

[Charles-dvdu]

Great training, this was on point!!! Thank you

[felicitydeikos]

Mix sound with your ear! That's how I learned to dj in the very early 90s
Also " beatmatch" too with your ear.
We all learnt to mix with our ear and brain before software was around.

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for as learn!

Very well explained, thx for the video. 🤓

[disgurluvsmuzik]

You broke this down good.Why am I just finding you?

[djrichard]

You should've demoed the same track from the start. But overall, the effect is the same applied to all tracks. Nice vid. DJ's should watch this and learn the real basic way to sound good and great in the long run.

First time here and first time I even investigated this; what it does and how to do that best as possible. I found your style and explanation very pleasant and informative!

In particular how you turned the knobs, in a clear rhythm/cadance. Not 'telling' but 'showing', works really well in storytelling, and teaching, obviously ;-)
I learned something, indeed about something that most people assume they know what it does and why.
Thank you!

Does your advice for beginner djs to focus on the low EQ know apply to those mixing songs with vocals? Like hip hop or dancehall reggae.

[portcreditswag]

the moustache is all i concentrate on, in this video..beats are dope

[macmad]

I always only use mid for vocal house, but you would need to dictate lows for bassline and deep bass tunes, good video very well illustrated, around frequency response.

[SticksAandstonesBozo]

Shit in the early 90’s all our time was spent fighting to get the turntables in sync. I think I was 10-15 years in before people starting cutting bass etc on a mix.

We need more videos please I’m a beginner 🤙🏻
