Using Eq's

I just got a mxer with some EQ's on it and am not sure how to use them properly to improve the quality of my mixes and sound. Any help would be apprciated. I know it will take time and practice but I hav eno idea where to start.

just mess around with them and create some cool effects during breakdowns etc, like cutting the bass and slamming it back in as the track comes out of a breakdown! when mixing though its all about personal preferance and style, if 2 basses clash when your mixing chop out the outgoing bass, same with the mids or highs etc, just practice and get used to doing nwhat you like doing!

I personally use the eqs to make my bassline more smooth. I usually don't use the high or midrange eqs because the wah effect on my mixer does a much better job of cutting that out, if I so choose to use it. I use the bass eqs to lower the bass on the live track as I introduce the cued track. This way the bass slips over to the cued track's bass beat without dropping the intensity of the bass and without creating a doubley intense bass beat as I slide the volume up on the cued track. It ends up producing a consistantly volumed bass beat all the while switching to the new bass beat sound.

On your transition, in the incoming track, gradually increase the 'high' and decrease the 'low'

While you are increasing the 'high' on the imcoming track, gradually decrease the outgoing track's 'low.'
