I really appreciate the professional level of his tutorials AND his real life club dj experience A lot of the “big media” dj videos (digitaldjtips, crossfader) just come across like teachers that “know” how to dj but arent really that good or were skilled club djs All due respect to them, they deserve some props too, but with Andrew I feel like I’m getting a personal lesson from a resident dj of some poppin nightclub

As an older school DJ getting back in the game, your videos got me back on track so quickly. Thanks mate. My audience (wife and dogs) are psyched.

Currently doing the course and it has changed everything for me. I was aimlessly looking around for KZread tutorials for over a year from different people and never felt like I was ever getting anywhere. With the course and how it is laid out it means each day when I go on I know what I'm doing and I can practice at that. And once the course is complete I bookmarked the most important lessons and will go back and keep practising at them. If anyone is on the fence like I was as I'm usually sceptical with online courses just go for it. Its so cheap for what you get. And no better time to get it then now while pretty much the whole world is in lockdown!

Oh mate I’ve learnt so much from your videos in just a week,and I’m loving messing around blending mixes with the eq

Absolutely the best tutor I have seen on KZread Andrew you keep doing these amazing videos I'm re learning and can see massive character in my mixes from what I had before so thank you so much for that

This is the best eq mixing tutorial I've ever seen, can't even imagine what you courses are teaching

I love how you encourage creativity while mixing, keeping the art of djing alive!

His enthusiasm just makes me want to go hop on the decks right now!

i love doing eq work. for a whie i would just set all my eq at 9 o clock on my incoming song and then slowly start swapping all the frequencies depending on where i was mixing into the song. i feel it does layer the incoming song under the playing song perfectly and then you can do a lot of eq play and you dont have to worry about the volume faders until you are bringing the playing song out

Mate , I appreciate your videos so much , you bet it , when the time is right , your course will be the one i will invest on !

Man, you smile so much. Im literally addicted to your videos and your 'personality', keep it up!

Just wanted to say thanks iv only started djng and using the eq to mix in has totally improved my mixing its unbelievable i love your videos very informstive and very well explained so thanks very much

You are amazing. Love your style of teaching.... your energy and passion. Your are very detailed and make it easy for beginners as I to understand. Thank you for your videos! ❤️

hey, I've just stumbled across your channel, I'm a beginner DJ whose been teaching myself for 6 months and I am getting frustrated with my lack of creativity with my mixing, I really like the way you present the information and its definitely given me more things to think about and play around with. I'm especially struggling with things like dubstep. When I watch dubstep DJs live it seems like its just build-up into drop into build-up into drop which I can't seem to master so I'm looking forward to your videos on that genre. I have subscribed and will for sure be following along with each video you put out. cheers

Happy to hear that!

ive been learning to dj for 2 weeks and im finding eq mixing is really fun

How did I miss this one... great way to put it! I do use EQs all the time (Deep and Progr House) and dare to say almost exclusively, Faders 100% before hiting play. I have always tried to use kill eqs since available, that changed a lot my way of mixing and doing long and seamless transitions for harmonic mixing. And the trick on the bass it is a must. The variable resistors used in the mixer for volume faders from last century were always logarithmic (not linear). I think that also applies to EQs and thus the bass swapping (or even highs and mids) is not that linear as it may seems (with controllers and digital mixers I think that is mostly configurable, but I am old fashion :) ). The only thing I do differently, or I should say additionally, is keeping an eye on the vumeters since I hate clipping or going overhead the amplification design. And as far as my experience goes, the monitors are not as sensitive as the little red/yellow LED sensing the output volume. This is very good content with lot of information to digest for beginners DJs. I recommend watching this more than once to grasp all the intricacies mentioned. It will definitely improve your mixing quality. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you for your very helpful advices, greetings from Poland🙂

I do both, fader work and EQ mixing. It just depends and I use different types of transitions to keep my mixing unpredictably. For EQ mixing, I have always swapped highs, bass and sometimes mids.

Glad it was helpful!

It is very important to mention,to balance the gain of the comming track with the other already playing before removing or messing with the EQ.That way it will be easyer to choose wich EQs and how much of it we should increase or decrease.And it avoids that the new track overlaps the other when the kicks comes in.Also I usually dont have some sort of Formule to mess with the EQ´s,it always depends of how the two tracks and their instruments fit together. Usually I only remove the Highs if the highs of the playing song are already strong,and swap them (like most people do with the bass) when the hi-hats of the new song comes in.Usually do that when I mix with the compass instead with the kick.Its nice to practice with phones always on or with sound blasting. Love your videos,your explanations and your good vibe ;) keep up the good work. Cheers from Portugal

great tips! Feel like this doesn't get talked about enough

Your EQs only go to -26 dB normally. If you switch the EQ Curve to Isolator (the switch just to the right of the channel faders on his DJM-900) that gives you -infinity dB on the EQs and you can fully fade out a track and transition with just the EQs. Or ... if you check out the “Lena Willikens - Mixing out of a difficult track” video she’s doing techno transitions using the trim knobs since those are -infinity by default and you can keep your EQs in the less-aggressive normal setting. If you really like playing with knobs you can set the trim with your EQs maxed at 5-o’clock and use the whole range. That’d be a weird habit to get into, but it’s kinda fun. The EQs are asymmetrical so it’s only an extra +6 dB on the boost side. You never have to be bored transitioning from one track to the next since there are a million different ways to do the same thing. 🙂

Cinderellaaaaaaas!! That is so sweet 🥰 I'll definitely remember that!

Keep making videos!!

Got to say your videos are absolutely great and I’ve so far only view some of your free ones on your channel. Keep it up! Also wondering if you will be posting any videos about hosting your own night at a club? I know you’ve said before “you will get into your local scene” but in a lot of places especially like where I live in east Scotland there’s not a lot of clubs anymore and the ones that do will only ever have your typical top 40 playing by some unknown DJ. The only time real dance music is played is when a specific night is put on for that, and for that the promoters either won’t let you or even want you to pay to play! All the club owners and promoters here are just money hungry and up themselves so I really just want to put on a good night to play what I want to hear and have a good time. Thanks for your time if you read this!

Hi Andrew, I’m loving your videos! I recently retired from my corporate career but have been a life-long music fan and go to quite a few festivals each year (when there isn’t a pandemic) but have only started out DJing recently. I am mixing mostly Techno, Psytrance, progressive Trance, progressive Psytrance and also playing around with some more mainstream House sub-genres. I am curious if you have any specific guidance on EQ crossover frequencies. Do you vary them by genre? Do you keep them at default? Will most club mixers be the same settings, or is that something a DJ should check when starting a set. Is it just personal preference? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experience on this topic.

I would love a video on the new V10 mixer. I'm a student of your course and use eq mixing. I used to mix with isolator mode on the old mixer. I could shove the volume fader up and start my eq work. With the new V10 mixer which is a club standard the mids (low and high mids) are not full cut. So it took a lot of getting used to bringing in the volume fader slowly because u can hear the mids even if the eq is to 0. Mids are now - 26db. Please make a video on the new mixer 🙏🙏

I usually do a 24 bar transition. I introduce highs then mids then lows each 8 bar apart..but sometimes the songs just dont work esp the mids feel like they came suddenly out of nowhere.. any work around would be appreciated

Just to throw something different out there. Try incorporating the gains into your EQ as rotary faders. You get so much more delicate control over your volumes as rotary faders work with your wrists natural movements. Coming from high energy trance and techno you use the sliders for harsh cuts and stabs so using these for precise movements becomes redundant. Using gains as a fader is a great tool when you want to slide out the bass on one track but bring through all the elements of the other especially over longer periods of time

I’ve seen another DJ on KZread leave his high EQ at 12 o’clock and slowly brings in his mids and bass EQ from 7 o’clock(all the way from the left)but that probably wouldn’t be total kill on the mixer he uses as the mixer I use is an Allen & Heath Xone 43 which is total kill all the way to the left.

What would you say is better isolate or classic??
