Or you could all ignor me and never learn what the EQ's are really for.

i use the EQs all the time. Even if the vinyl is perfectly pressed, sometimes increasing the mids and/or highs can bring out an extra oomph from the song. That's just me tho.

OK, I see what you guys are saying. But you are all talking about giving tracks "oomph" or Crispier highs and what not. Thats all great. But, I'm talking about EQ SETTINGS FOR MIXING PURPOSES. I set my live eq;s all the way to the right and incomming track all all at zero because it gives me the MOST EQ RANGE TO MIX WIHT. If you guys aren't using EQS to mix, then you are missing out. Whats the fun in keeping eq's at 12 o clock and mixing with the faders, and occasionally adjusting the bass eq's? thats gay. Its soo much fun to have the eq's all the way up...SO when you really want to play with them for effects purposes, you can cut them ALL THE WAY, and SLAM THEm back up again. Just try it. Its fun as hell on DJM EQs

When you put EQs all the way to the right, your trim/gain is below zero right?

Listen to me spin sometime you bitch

Originally posted by Special_K you shouldnt have 1 standard that you have your eq's at. Every song is diffrent and therefore every song should be EQ'd diffrently. It just makes sense. Your EQ's are there for a reason, use them. And if you havnt started using EQ's while you are mixing, start.

Dito.....

Altough, the standard is ZERO. With a clean "audiophile" grade system "0" sounds best for listening, the track is Mastered that way. I find with my system and GOOD records very little adjusting is needed, but still required. Shitty records require major tweaking though. I tried MP3's for fun and they sound horrible.

Dude I dunno what you talking about. I constantly use the EQ to mix (I didn't think there was another way??) but I don't understand "all the way to the right"?? +6dB on my board whats yours???

How many pairs of speakers have you been through??? OR you don't have a decent amp.

Maxing out your EQ ahahahahahahahahahahahha

That Mixer ROCKS.... Where is it made. That EQ would be a blasting trip to use, + or - 12 dB not awesome, but i've managed on worse.

well the eq affects only the master output and not each chan separately and it has no gain/trim, transitions sound crap even if beatmatching is perfect
