hi the main logic of subtractive EQ is that you are lowering the level of conflicting and/or unwanted frequencies. Is not a "good engineer" technic, but is in fact a good thing for mixing when you lack equipment or knowledge on the practics of EQing. Is not a exact formula to follow, and as addictive EQ, can lead to mistakes. Try both and test the results; you have years of practicing in front of you... =)
