Along_the_Wire When I was learning to mix, I found it easiest to work with 32 beat segments for EQing. I use an Allen and Heath Xone 92, so have 4 EQs to work with, and by using 32 beat segments, I could bring up the incoming EQ while taking down the outgoing EQ for, say, the bass at the same time. After the next 32 beat segment, the mid level, and so on. Even if you don’t know your tunes that well, most records are structured in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 beat segments, so there are natural breakpoints along the way that you can take advantage of.
