What I absolutely appreciate, other than the fact that you use Fabfilter too which is the best EQ ever, is that we get to see the exact bandwidth of the cuts and boosts (the Q number) along with the center frequencies and exact amount of boost or cut in dB. Online forums only give you subjective broad strokes. a wide band to one might be narrow to another etc. Let's round out this masterclass series and make a mention to the rider which was left out of the cymbal tutorial (unless it falls under same rules as the crash).
Not exactly. Claps have a little bit different approach to the mid-range. Claps gives you a really great opportunity to boost some mid-range aggressively because not a lot of other instruments share where they’re dominate. I have been getting quite a few request to do a tutorial on mixing claps on this channel, so I’ll get one out soon!
Great tutorial. Question: I see you left the Q's narrow, I've gathered from other tutorials that when cutting narrow Q's and when boosting wide Q's. Is that right or no? For the most part when you cut ur Q's were pretty wide and your boost Q's were narrow.
if you want to cut a specific freq like some ringing sound is in 400 hz but in 430 its ok so you Q should be narraw but if ringing sound is from 400 to 500 hz you should wide
FMB - hey thanks for watching. Yeah definitely. The fundamentals frequencies is a series we’re doing right now on different instruments each week. Piano should be dropping in a few weeks. I’m excited there’s a demand for it!
The only bit I don’t get is when you’re looking for bad frequency you boost it up to find the bad sound but if you boost most things like that, they will sound nasty and need cutting.
JAKE FUKK - hey thanks for watching. The boosting & scoping out bad frequencies is an old timeless technique most professionals use. You usually do that when all the music is playing & look for clashing. If you train your ears to know what your looking for (and I understand that can take a lot of training) to will be able to hear where the problems are, this technique is definitely be one of the tools that can be very useful mixing a great sounding song. Also, when I solo out the frequencies, I’m not listening for what sounds “bad” but rather what has a resonating frequency that is causing harsh distortion. It can take awhile to develop that type of ear, but true mixing was never meant to be an easy task. Hope that info helps!
Don't highpass your drums, it just causes phase issues and makes your drums sound unnatural. Use a low shelf cut. Listen to respected engineers not amateur youtubers, you'll just have to unlearn bad techniques like these. Any decent engineer will tell you to cut, not boost.

this series is GOLDEN. thank you so much for sharing this information with us, Realistic Productions! :)
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to do this one 🙌👌
TEE BEATS - for sure. Thanks for watching!
Excellent vid, bro. I like the fact you used different snare instances.
i am so excited to watch this video
very honest man keep coming
Good one!
Very Nice!!! Thanks for this!!!
Keep. doing these!
Cheese. Music - hey thanks for watching! We actually release new tutorials every week!
Glad i found your channel
Thanks again! Gems!
Konjure Muzik - you’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

REALISTIC PRODUCTIONS I would really like to see a clap tutorial. Thanks🙌🏼☝🏼
great vid!
Thanks man, thanks, thanks 🙏🏼
GOSHO ON THE TRACK - you’re welcome man! Thanks for watching!
this helped me a lot!! Tks
Does anyone low pass the snare down to about 7khz or so (depends on the snare) but just cut some of that high frequency for a warmer sound?
I just started doing that to my snare top, it definitely gives it a warmer sound!
very nice
Great tutorial. Question: I see you left the Q's narrow, I've gathered from other tutorials that when cutting narrow Q's and when boosting wide Q's. Is that right or no?
For the most part when you cut ur Q's were pretty wide and your boost Q's were narrow.

when your boosting wide Q us great because if u use narrow Q it boost a Specific Freq and it can create noise in you audio
Thanks!
Love these tutorials, sometimes i like the video before i watch it lmao 🔊🎶🔥
Native Gringo - that’s dope. Glad the info is useful. Thanks for watching!
This was a great tutorial, my snares are definitely slapping bro.
Tunez650 - that’s dope! Thanks for watching!
thank you for this tutorial! maybe you can show us an example how you eq a piano. does that make sense?
FMB - hey thanks for watching. Yeah definitely. The fundamentals frequencies is a series we’re doing right now on different instruments each week. Piano should be dropping in a few weeks. I’m excited there’s a demand for it!
Hey, the piano tutorial was released yesterday! Incase you didn’t see it yet, here’s the link
