DJ BETTER - HOW TO EQ MIX!!! 

i'm mixing since 1996 when there wasn´t the internet yet, this is the first time i've found a short but realy usefull tutorial. Respect.

i don’t mind at all if you start the video promoting yourself, you’re the one who’s nice enough to show us all this info for free the least people can do is show you some respect in that regard

Arman, this might be one of the simpler (but at the same time best) DJing videos on RU-vid. Great explanation and demonstration, keep up with the good work!

FINALLY an EQ video that's in depth, thank you, I've been searching for something like this for months.

6.40 for the actual mixing demo

yo Ive been learning for a month, ive watched sooooo many videos about transitioning and it just never seemed to be a buttery smooth transition, they seemed too fast. this video taking it slowly to transition is it! thanks for the clear and slow instructions so easy to follow!

Hey Arman, just wanted to tell you that i really appreciate both the content and the way you are visualising/providing all of the informaion. I learned a lot initially from dj ellaskins, which is great in terms of mind visualisation for begginer djs, to grasp the context and why's. He's always taking years in getting to the point tho, using multiple examples and comparisons. Entertaining, but for one that is trying to visualise an image it's like describing a singular line of shape, without mentioning the perspective. You provide precise and crucial information that fills the gap i have from his tutorials tho, with logcal precise descriptions which make me understand things thoroughly, possibly cause of having very analytical mind. Your video on 5 dj habbits that I've watched years ago, gave me soooooooo much support, information and confidence later on that i cannot highlight enough. What I'm trying to say is that you have opened my eyes multiple times with your tutorials! You are creating a great content for the community and you seem like a really humble person. Biggest ups mate!

please keep these mixing tutorials coming. The ones that are up on youtube are too niche or too vague imo. This one is way more straight forward and informative.

The most useful tutorial about to mixing I've seen so far!!👌👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks you so much!!

Thank you so much! Very easy to follow. I've only been at it for a few months now and recently learned about EQ mixing. My first larger gig is tomorrow, so it will definitely come in handy!

When i am mixing in the second track 99% best way for me is the mids and highs at 10 o clock moving the volume fader to max. When a small break comes, mix the bass from first track to the second one. You will keep the Melody going and bass 👍

Nice to see someone else likes to throw the up faders open and balance things out with the Eqs. Ive been doing it this way as long as I can remember because it just felt natural and sounded better in my opinion. There are some scenarios where a slow up fade is preferable but I use this method across most genres and rarely see other DJs do this.

Awesome tutorial. I got my first DJ controller a while back and this helps a ton. Thanks man!

You said so little, but explained so much, and you literally did 3 mins of talking and than demonstration on everything you said. Simply perfect tutorial !

Great demo! I’ve been DJing for 12 years. More of a hobby then career for me. I enjoy and play the same styles music you spin. Lately I’m enjoying the Afro House. Goes well with old Chicago Disco House. Im enjoying your content. I’m new to the channel. Just discovered you the other day. Keep up the great work brother! Looking forward to checking out your Soundcloud mixes! All the best!

Finally a real dj with real advices! Well done!

Thanks, needed that. And absolutely LOVE the first track will definetly get it one day.

Incredible work, finding DJs with a raw understanding of mixing is so rare these days. So glad I came across your channel. Phenominal

It’s funny that I watched the whole video and in the end you mention Barbados where I am and gonna have my first gig.

Been doing this when I mix soulful and deep house.. didn’t know it was EQ mixing, it just felt natural. This vid helped me fix my technique a little though

I actually like the hard hi-hat...it gave the Mix kick...

this was a really helpful video. I changed my whole DJing style after this no joke

I've been off the stage for a while and I had lost my touch. my flow on the eq was too acute. Now I see what is out of line. Good, solid , basic to the point video. Much appreciated.

awesome, thanks for the video. Also I like the 2 tracks, now I've discovered 2 more DJ that I'll dig into. Cheers

I thought the first mix sounded very smooth as well honestly - probably because these are two tracks that go together really well!

I'm a beginner with no experience and I don't know any DJ's so this a great help. Thanks.

That last transition was nothing short of perfect! Thank's dude, you really gave me the motivation I need right now!

thank you . been doing this allday .mixing sounds better now that I understand this

When you slapped the volume fader all the way to the top without bass and mid, that high hat was perfectly fine. in fact that was pretty good tho, because the mix didn't lose intensity. Nicely done

Thanks for the video and the songs. Really loved those progressive houses!

Thank you! I had never thought about bringing in the entire track using only the eqs.

Progressive tunes are practically impossible to mess up imo. You have so much time on your hands to just blend the frequencies nicely

Thank you Arman for your videos... As a beginner, I am learning so much. Cheers from Morocco 🇲🇦 🤙

Hi, thanks for all your instructional vids, they are a most welcome informative insight for us newbies, My question is how many bars would you normally use for a transition?

This is awesome! I love the tracks too!

Sound arman that 2nd mix is definitely the best of the too mixes just sounded more together in the mix

what a wholesome dude, keep it up brother!

Thanks 🙃 , after a year your video still helping people

Thank you so much. Everyone's making the same video's on how to beat match. Ok I get that but these are the arts I want to learn!!!

Thanks for this video, I learned a lot from it! I just started DJing and I never touched the middle EQ knob before I watched your video. Now I'm doing it the way you showed in this video and my mixes sound way better. I blew my girlfriend away! If I may suggest a topic for a new video, I've been wondering why I would ever want to use 4 decks instead of 2. I never use the other 2 channels that I have available to me, so it would be interesting if you showed me some tricks that work with 4 decks that you can't do with only 2.

Thanks for the video! Clearly explained, and well demonstrated.

Really helpful! I'm going to use this advice in my mix right now ^^

Very helpful, for smooth mixing, thanks for your offering. :)

Hey man. Good video. Really helped me mix better. Good job man. I think I actually saw you at Sunnyside Pavillion this summer. Haha

Hi Arman! Thx for the good explaination. keep up ur good work!

Excellent advice explained very smartly and very simply..well done mate

Love your tutorials. I've been DJing since the 90's but i'm always open to learning. I use EQ mixing as play Trance/Hard House here in the UK but also play Progressive Breakbeat so EQ mixing is perfect for this genre as tend to play long transitions. I think a lot of new dj's need to realise they are not just djing but sound engineering at a basic level when in the booth :)

Awesome advice for a beginner DJ like myself, thank you :-D

Thanks man this helped a bit! keep em coming!

So usefull for beginers like me, thnk you so much!

can't we replace those mid and base eq by bringing them down with just opening up filter? it means like the same cutting mid and base eq's

great video a good example for the up and coming djs

Hi! Arman, I'm a beginner, great tutorial on how to utilize the Eq for beat matching. I'm learning something new everyday as a beginner dj, on the other hand, Did you ran a loop on the second track? Thanks for your time.

This is great..thank you from Italy :)

First person I've seen, who is watching the metering on a pioneer mixer - you should do a tutorial for all the "pro"-djs...

i play mainly hip hop and dancehall reggae, how do i mix with the eq if ive only got 4bars to do it in,4 bars dont give you much time to adjust all those eq knobs... thanks for the video!

The EQ mix was so smooth!

This is a huge help, if you could, i would love another video of the same thing but more examples! Also, do you ever try mixing songs while having a third track going too? if so: mixing techniques? Good luck on your birthday gig! and happy birthday!

tryed this way i find it easier than normal amazing sir cheers

Awesome tutorial but quick question if you have to mix genre like soca how to mix them

I like it. Very well explained. Good job!

Dude awesome sound love the music

although it does sound smooth :) just depends on the tracks your mixing and the energy you want

please make a tutorial about phrasing. do you preset your cuepoints in and out?

im goin to be reachin the parlour that weekend look forward to hearing ya do ur thing. gr8 vid cheers.

Thank you for your help it's very professional video✌️

I've watched a few of your videos but I just realized your birthday is a day before mine... I'll sub for that lol

Helpful video, thanks for sharing.

Very helpful and well explained. Thanks! 👍

Great video!

Most guys have never used a knob ISO mixer. Like a Rane, Urie or Bozak mixer to name a few. With those you have the option to say lower reduce the bass of the lead song playing to slowly build up the intro to the second song. Sometimes using the acapella over the new bass line for the new song transitioning in. Just one basic example. Most of us use the crossfader mixer. Try what is called Hamster mixing. Leaving the crossfader centered and using the line volume vertical slides to mix with. Most crossfader models will allow you to play with the EQ knobs to blend fade manipulate your transition. If not. You had to find a song with the same type of bass line to work the mix. Its just one of many ways to work the song mix. I've been spinning Mobile,club,Bars etc since I got hooked in 1978 at the age of 16. I've been fortunate to be allowed to observe, listen, learn and use club equipment with the guidance of some of Ny's and NJ then notable Dj''s. I've since became a full time family man. Now that I'm retired it's become one of my relaxing hobbies. I still enjoy the pleasure it gives me.After all these years I can't shake the pleasure and rush I still get from spinning. Plus it brings back all the good memories of real funny parting. When people came sharply dressed in style, had manners and respect for eachother. Thanks for the video. keep sharing. Peace!

Thank you for good lesson! Bombastic T-shirt!!! I would buy one if I can :) Good luck!

Man that DJ-Bruce-Lee T-shirt is very cool bro...saw it from the 1st second from the video.. :)

Finally, some equalizer tut with good music... this was a smooth transitions... he put's them all at 12oclock, but sometimes this does give no depth to the sound in the speakers? Should we control that somewhere else?
