What do the frequencies on either side of the spectrum do and how should I know if I want my bass/ mid/ treble in the negative or positive?
Edit: Thank you for the answers. I realized that my question wasn’t very clear because I wasn’t too sure what exactly it is I was looking for. I did get the answer that I was looking for though 🙂

What you are referring to is not actually “negative frequency,” but a process called “equalization” (or EQ) to balance (or equalize!) the perceived volume of a given frequency or range of frequencies.
“Going negative” on a given set of frequencies (like treble or bass) is cutting the volume of those frequencies by a given value, usually expressed in decibels.
For example, “Bass +6” would be adding 6 decibels to the bass frequencies (called boosting), and “Treble -3” would be removing (or cutting) the treble frequencies by 3 decibels.
