Work the EQs

6

The level to which you use your mixer’s EQs or filters is a matter of taste. Some DJs prefer to blend tracks in with minimal adjustment, others will creatively carve out low or high frequencies to change the feel of a track. If you are going to do some frequency shaping, the key thing to remember is balance. If you try mixing two tracks both with the bass boosted, things are going to sound overblown and muddy. Balance out a boost in one track with a cut to the other – then switch the cut/boost around to change the emphasis!
