Most DJs know what the EQ knobs are for – what they don’t always realise is that boosting them has consequences. Push them up too far and you’re effectively overriding the gain setting you carefully dialed in, pushing your signal into the red without even knowing it.

In this free video tutorial, we show you exactly why this happens, walk you through what to watch for on your channel and master outputs, and leave you with the one rule that’ll keep your sound clean: take away, don’t add.
