In this tutorial Jamie Hartley breaks down the different settings available to change the behaviour of your EQ's. With certain styles of DJ'ing suiting isolation rather than EQ, Jamie explains how to change the settings and which modes you should be using!

Hey Jamie, thanks for all the informative videos! I used to DJ years ago, old school turntables and mixer, at the warehouse parties in London. Recently decided to get back into it after a 10 year hiatus and ordered myself a Traktor S2 mk3. While waiting for it to be delivered I’ve been watching your tutorials to get myself back up to date with the modern tech, so cheers!!

@jordanstevens3927 3 жыл бұрын
You know what would be nice? Is if they had a mixer to where you could set the isolation on the individual frequencies so if you wanted to keep your highs and mids on the eq setting but set your low on the isolator mode that would be sick because then you could use and shape the different eq the way you want and you could filter in and out the different frequencies how you want

@crossfader As always excellent videos with good content... I will like to see a video going deeper into the EQ theory. For example, I mix electronic music and my low knob can go from the -0 to approximately 4+ frequency, in my Denon X1800 which the low frequency max can reach 6+. The same thing with my mid and high frequency. Then I control the PK, lowering the gain of the channels... But i see a lot of dj's playing with the knobs just to the center. Sometimes I ask to myself what should be the best practice... I have been doing something wrong for the last 25 years... LOL!

Total kill is the only way to go. Pair that up with a 4 band eq and your set. I never noticed the difference, till I sold my DJM-800 for a XONE 92 a few years back. Now the DJM-V10 has implemented the 4 band eq, and I can't wait to use one.

@Ravinstomper
@Ravinstomper 4 жыл бұрын
i believe there is a little difference in the hertz range pioneer use to each band of high mid and low. i.e the low on the 900nxs may have a band drop down to 200mhz and the nxs2 has a band down to 250mhz. similarly to the other frequencies in the upper spectrum of mids and highs but in khz. its only subtle to the ear mind but they changed it in their harware so they now give you and option to choose.
@MrDamning
@MrDamning 4 жыл бұрын
Stu Atkinson is right. But the difference is Isolator EQ full kills the EQ band you adjust. EQ is generally -26. Same thing as the thing crossfader is talking about

@Eskeyy
@Eskeyy 4 жыл бұрын
I believe nxs2 have different frequency range on eq, some people were complaining that in older pioneer mixers taking off lows was causing taking some mids as well. Overall I would say it depends from personal preference what is best for you. Just check all settings and find what is best sounding for you (my preference is usually eq)

I've been using isolator eq since I started DJing electro house, well I started using it after that when I found the ability in a controller to do it, but it gave me the ability to kill the bass. With Tec House I use it and with other genres I also use it but be careful sometimes not to totally kill the bass. rarely use EQ setting anymore.
