Quick hands eq technique?
Quick hands eq technique? Posted on: 09.07.2013 by Marnie Foye I've had the chance to watch some bigger name DJ's from a vantage point where I can see what they are doing. I've noticed many of them doing what I can only describe as quick hands. Their hands will move quickly back and forth between the different eq knobs with 8 or more touches over the course of a second or two. Sander Van Doorn in particular did it a lot. Their hands move so fast I have a hard time seeing how they are even turning the knob when they do this, but I'd assume the changes they are making are small.What exactly are they doing? Is it a way to modify a lot of parameters subtly at once, or is it all for show? | |
| Meg Reinoehl 09.07.2013 | I see a lot of DJs do this without touching/changing anything. I don't understand it whatsoever. |
| Yong Aptekar 09.07.2013 | The key to proper EQing is to only touch each knob for 1/4 of a second, and switch between your 6/8 knobs. That way, during long transitions you don't need to jesus pose the whole time. |
| Emelina Chillson 09.07.2013 | Subtle changes usually needing to be done quickly due to not having time to cue properly. |
| Hellen Mindrup 09.07.2013 | Lol, sometimes it's just pointless maneuvering.. I do it sometimes but when I catch myself doing it I stop lol. |
| Lilliana Perris 09.07.2013 | Yep! Aka OCD.... LOL |
