he was talking about either really (i think)......

see there's a fine line between proper eq and proper sound selection in the first place......the right kik shouldn't need much if any eq....but even the perfect bass sound can use some cleaning up....it's SUBTRACTIVE eq....eliminate those offensive clashing freqs in the BL to feature that bold kik drum....

what he's talking about is an age old eq technique and is also quite valuble for training your ears....cutting (with a tighter q (( do you know what the q is??)) then SWEEPING THE FREQ SPECTRUM helps you correlate your eye with a specific freq and also cut the offensive freqs....

about everything that needs to be eq-ed to fit in the mix

but i dont really think you should eq your bass i never do it. kick & bass have to be in the same freq range or the kick will be a click and the bass wont be bass any more. thats why most of the basslines are k - b - k - b or k-b-kb-bk (ie there are no bass notes where the kick hits). there are other methods like sidechaining if you are looking for something different.

I think you will understand me better with an example :
You made a perfect beat and a perfect bass but when you add them together, you can't even recognize them ! it's because their frequencies are overlapping. Here is a way to skirt the problem :

1- First when you make a beat, assign every sound to a separate channel and equalize it properly to get rid of all frequencies not needed.

2- The main frequencies of the beat which are suposed to overlap with the bass are often between 100-400Hz so you need to make a sub bass part of your bass below 100Hz and a mid frequencies part of your bass above 400Hz.

Like this, the main frequences of your beat are still audible.

Listen to the beat without 100-400Hz : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/TranceDevot...-pasdetitre.mp3
and his spectre :

Now the beat; the beat and the bass together; and the bass alone :

and their frequencies :
