The Art Of Knob Twisting?

Well you can go the star route but I feel they clash with the mirror balls.

You can never go wrong with googly eyes.

yah stars are pokey. they would clash with the mirror balls. I think we should make it in the elevator of a office tower when no one is looking. those idiots wont know what button to push when we are done with it.

Kind of like that elevator prank but with a disco...nice. And no, you can never go wrong with googly eyes. When I was a kid we could use googly eye stickers like currency on the school yard.

so what is your mixing EQ strategy anyway? how do you use your EQ?

I know that wasn't directed at me, but I don't use them. I honestly think that people mostly use them because they're covering up mistakes they don't know they're making.

My mixer doesn't even have them. I thought I might miss them, but I don't.

ok i will talk to you but if it gets confusing we will make sense some other day. it looks like you are replying to my post. treble is all about hi pitch noises. if there is to much treble it hurts your ears. mid gets the tracks the same volume. bass is for transitions.

what do you play? thanks for your help earlier.

What?

AThere seems to be alot of fake knob twists, exaggerated tapping of stuff, and just overall movements that arent actually doing anything. Is there actually something going on here, or is it just to look busy?

Depends, sometimes I will slightly lower the treble or bass of a track over its duration - so that the next track has more of an effect when it comes in, the same way you can slightly lower the volume over a few tracks before you slam it up when you play your latest 'banger' - but generally I usually leave them when not mixing.

But I don't think that's what most dj's do - I think they're just a bit self-concious maybe?

Really?! Damn I've been using my mixer all wrong all these years, I thought the gain was to get the tracks the same volume, and I've only been using the mid for transitions!

Well I'm going to have to go and learn how to mix again.

It's ok, he's just drunk again
