Thats not true.. if you don't really like the sound of the music on a specific Audio or PA System you're playing on, you can of coarse boost some Lows or Mids or whatever..

[djchris]

Never boost?😬😅 have you ever mixed? If I mix a from a vocal I like and want to keep it going. I'm going to increase the mid, not the track volume as the vocal is on the out going track.
DJ tip of the day 😂

Bad advice. Using the mid eq and boosting is essential if you're long mixing something like techno or house and want to keep certain elements of the track audible over the track you're blending in

[cyanicgames]

Boosting the lows a bit is absolutely fine if you mix tracks that were mastered differently, sometimes it is even needed to make the bass level equal in a transition, keeping up the energy

[kennethmalafy]

I will usually use the eq to "sculpt." If I think the artist doesn't have enough high end in the track, I don't mind boosting it. Or sometimes, I will boost eq to bring out the hi hats or to emphasize a part of the track I like, usually vocals.
In fact, many of those artists don't eq vocals correctly and they are a bit muddy or a bit low, when they should shine and be the focal point.

[HUTCHSUCKSMUCH]

Horrible advice.. have you ever actually even DJed before?

There are pros and cons to the subject matter of this video and the comments made put it short do what's best for yourself and your crowd your plan for and the system that you're playing on. If you know what you're doing, it's going to sound good anyway, no matter how you E.Q. your mix

[deankayton]

I only once found boosting the mids to be useful. That was when I was playling like 3 or 4 tracks at various levels, and wanted the vocals to come over (lows cut). Maybe I could have lowered the other volume, but then the base went too soft.

I am a junior, so still just observations on my own experiements.

Your content just keep getting worse. Sadly I have to unsubscribe, since all you upload nowadays are these screenrecorded reels..

[ericdayman]

A lot of misinformation here (in comments) by cutting instead of boosting you leave headroom. Just cut what you dont want to boost and it achieves the same effect as boosting the frequency range you want more empasis in while maintaining a cleaner signal (equalizing uses voltage, and when boosting is over utilized it can introduce clipping and distortion).

Yh pioneer etc just made a +side iof each the eq knob for fun and total giggles

[whereintheworld]

Sometimes I don’t like how the track was mastered. I’ll add/take away lows and highs all the time if I feel like it’s lacking.

[jamiemassey]

The EQ on the channel strip is meant for cutting and boosting. A no boost recommendation is much better for the house EQ. By cutting certain problem frequencies you can reduce feedback and give more headroom to your entire system. There is nothing wrong with boosting on the channel eq, if it is needed.

[joey]

It is not a “volume control” for different portions. It adjusts the gains within the passband of the designated frequency range allocated to each knob

[mr.indahouse]

Only Low and maybe a little on mids, but the space of the high frequencies are completely modificable, obviously with caution because the human ear cannot filter high frequencies well

[grime_garage]

Low press (Bad sound) vinyls are a pain for quality if your mixing UKG, I always use the gain for volume control.

[tsaneer]

Actually this is really good advice, by doing this not only you're mixing, but if used correctly, it prevents your speakers from getting damaged.I know you guys won't agree with me(it's ok if you guys hate me for this comment) but try it out.

[alonzoschenck]

Once you begin fucking with all the buttons turning them up and down while your listening to the sound and adjusting shit to how you think it sounds good. You can only get better by fucking up.sorry for my french.

[coldhardtruth]

Oh wow .. I had no idea thanks so much …
