      Hey I have been having the same problem as well, i even messed with the settings, uninstall reinstall rekordbox, and make sure my performance from the rekordbox application is on high performance on my labtop settings. Anything will help thank you!

    I’m already quite an experienced dj over 25 years but it’s good to see fellow DJs point these things out around EQing. A lot of DJs make the mistake that it’s just about beat matching, it isn’t…knowing how to kill certain frequencies of a track so the new track coming in doesn’t sound all over the place is so important. 👍 good video

    Shit in the early 90’s all our time was spent fighting to get the turntables in sync. I think I was 10-15 years in before people starting cutting bass etc on a mix.

    Mix sound with your ear! That's how I learned to dj in the very early 90s
    Also " beatmatch" too with your ear.
    We all learnt to mix with our ear and brain before software was around.

    Hello ! Great video for the beginners ! I would add to this that the "trim" are also important and need to not be pushed too much on the right too, I personally let them a little on the left to be safe :)

    First time here and first time I even investigated this; what it does and how to do that best as possible. I found your style and explanation very pleasant and informative!
    In particular how you turned the knobs, in a clear rhythm/cadance. Not 'telling' but 'showing', works really well in storytelling, and teaching, obviously ;-)
    I learned something, indeed about something that most people assume they know what it does and why.
    Thank you!

    You should've demoed the same track from the start. But overall, the effect is the same applied to all tracks. Nice vid. DJ's should watch this and learn the real basic way to sound good and great in the long run.

  • @dl-gy5ul
    @dl-gy5ul Год назад +1

    is there ever a time where you would wanna have an eq knob above mid range or is that pretty much a constant rule for all djs to keep it up at mid or below? im trying to discipline myself to keep it under halfway but i keep getting carried away for that extra boost. sounds alright from my headphones but i can imagine to a trained ear on big speakers itd sound kinda cringy. but why do they even make it so you can boost the volume that high on ever single mixer then??

    I always only use mid for vocal house, but you would need to dictate lows for bassline and deep bass tunes, good video very well illustrated, around frequency response.

    Hello, thanks for the video. I can't help but notice you are not using any output speakers for your controller. In my case I am using the DDJ FLX 4 without any speakers. The thing is i only can control one deck and have no control over the mixer section including the fader. Can you please tell me the settings you are using if you are on rekordbox? Good video

    • @prodjacademy

    Hey guys, I want to start DJ-ing on a budget console, but it lacks the Mid EQ (I don't have yet the money buy a better one).
    How important it is for a beginner (minimum experience on laptop DJ-ing) to have this knob ?
    Thanks in advance !

    • @robyeee5358
      @robyeee5358 Год назад +1

      Not important !
      That is important is that you have fun and learn along the way. If you like djeing you will be able to buy it in the future if you need it.
      Dont let limit be a problem for your creativity. If you arrive with two knobs, you will find it easier with three
      So have fun and enjoy your way amigo

    If you play MP3 or any digital music you want to cut down a bit on high and mids, and leave low on 0 or +1. Now, if you play 12", you want to bust highs and mids and cut on the lows , due to pressing on a vinyl and process of the sounds... That simple...

    • @prodjacademy
      @prodjacademy  2 года назад +1

      3 band EQs have been around for quite a while now! But I’d assume before that they would find the balance using only the volume faders

    • @ferguswaveforms
      @ferguswaveforms 2 года назад +1

      Look up Bozak and Urei DJ mixers which were some of the first purpose built DJ mixers used by pioneering DJs like Frankie Knuckles and Francis Grasso Often they were set up with an isolator on the master channel to control the high/mid/low freqs.
