@MrDBoi69 The squares I refer to can be found on the colored tabs at the upper left corner of the window. They're right below the diamond shaped symbols and above the sliders. I hope that helps.
Great tutorial man, finding that punch for my kicks has been one of the things I've struggled on, it seems to be a little mysterious since there's no straight answer, but this helps a lot - I think just watching someone use the EQ and talk through what they are trying to achieve helps more than anything else. Cheers
Man you not lien all this time I've been looking at so many Vids leave it to the OG..This Vid was Fkn Sauce found it by mistake while watching another 1 of his Vids....My Sh#t Banging 🥁 ..🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thankx OG 🙏 ✌.
There is crazy stuff you would never expect on best selling chart topping records...where you might think the engineer took some wildly crazy journey to get a certain sound...but really it was something simple. Think of Everything we have to use as a tool, quite literally...and each tool has a unique job to do. As long as it sounds good...and your ears are trained to know what is going to sound good. I say if you have to boost 18db....or compress the he'll outta something...then do it. Those who only mix from a technical standpoint. And go by the book [which is fine] may not use a tool in a very musical way because they were taught that it's only supposed to do a certain thing.
I always like to turn bands one and seven into the low pass and high pass settings. That way you automatically have the highs and low cut and you can just slide them over to where you want the cut to start.
Man, I can't really express how much I appreciate your work. I used to be like the guy above who cries when seeing equalizers. But you made it look so simple. Really really thank you
I'm learning so much from your videos that I have never known about FL Studio X-D and I've been experimenting with it for 4 years now. If I had internet at home, I'd be able to spend countless minutes learning from each video :-)
@remix696 @remix696 With 808s, you have to EQ them independent of your other kicks to get the best results. 808s are tuned kicks. In other words they have more of a detectable pitch to them so you need to find the pitch that fits best in your key then worry about EQ to boost the low/sub freqs.
Thanks man. im using logic pro but your tutorials still help. i like how you dont make it specific to one program. your melody tutorial from like 2008 is great. about to try the guidelines out. thanks
@divutskiDK when your tracks are going into the red parts of the dB meter, you are adding digital distortion. Just turn them down so it barely touches the red zone. The threshold is 0 dB and you want to mix to that level basically.
Great Tutorial! I still use the Warbeats KDE from time to time, and Im really enjoying the Warbeats Loudness Maximizer as well. Thanks for all your contributions and the best website for FL Studio anywhere!
it depends on what im trying to do and what sound but the idea is if i like a sound i will do a small boost at most 4db usually but if there is masking like the sound it getting burred in that aria i like i dip it on whatever is blocking it up and i do the same with the other signal. small cuts in 1.5 db increments is pretty cool also saturation can help honestly i forgot what this video was like haha i have been so busy with mixing work but if you want help message me and we can talk about it
First of all thank you for posting these tutorials: Second I had just a brief thought, it seemed as if you can find those "sweet spots" in the EQ2 from the music-synced lights that pulsed up on the spectrum whenever the kick hit. Again I learned quite alot form the EQ, im glad im more fluent with the plugins I use so often.
What's up brother tuts are awesome always watching you and I've learned a lot. Question tho u mentioned that you roll the bass if your not using 808 so if I'm using 808 do I need to adjust the first knob u adjusted
F L Studio is a software which is not as powerful as other softwares.. you may find certain elements a lil childish.. but the knowledge this man shares with us.. can enable you to make awesome music with the feel of professional quality as if u have cut a beat from the mpc and mixer direct ... Bravo NFX!
@TravisTinkle one of the parameters on the right side on the bottom does the same thing as scroll wheel. you can also link this nob to a controller like anything else :)
@NYCsPROBLEM go to your p.eq2, dont look on the monitor of peq2 look to the right side, there are knobs to tweek each color has 2 knobs the smaller know effects the width of the band
lol well if your having trouble with a muddy mix because the kick and bass, you could sidechain compress the kick over the bass, that works very well. unless your using a sustained kick. but you can adjust the release on the peak controller. but i would agree with the highend boost, on some kicks. i find layering works better, and doesnt sound as computed.
@glict I thought the same thing, the thump at 190hz was.. well exactly as your described.. like a beach ball. Secondly it didn't make a lot of sense to me to boost that high in the low mids, where your bass and possibly other instruments will be fighting it out. Though I think it's relative to your kick sample, it still just seems a bad idea to give a 6 - 12 db boost in your low mids for a kick drum.
Wouldn't doing the inverse of what this video explains be a better option. Cutting the 140hz (3) with a narrower Q, then boosting the (2) and (4) by say 1-2 db with a wider Q. In my head, that would leave more headroom and sound more natural?
OMG thanks a lot! i didn't even end up with something close to what you did (the 2 and the 4 are like right next to eachother at like 100 hz.) but it sounds sooooo much better than it did first!
btw, if you make the kick "bump" it´ll interfer with the subbass. so you can either use a sidechained HP filter or a sidechained compressor. or you just don´t do such wacky EQing. even Club PAs usually don´t go deeper then 30 hz, so your boost was way too massive. you can´t hear this extreme lowend, it just messes up your mix. and if you lowcut, then use a -48 db filter, not a 6 db like the one u used. then use a smaller filter (-12 db) above to smoothen the slope between 30 hz and below.
Great Tutorial NFX. one thing please, I do cut really low lows out of the kick, now ill start takin out lil highs. ive never had a problem with boom or thump just the mix!! obviously u know the song a milli? listen to the beat, when that low 808 hits the mix goes dam low, like the volume. what do i need to change so the kick still hits hard like it is and the mix doesnt go down. ?? i know lowering the vol of everything brings out the kick and gives it space. any tips ??
It really depends on what kind of music it is..for example, on a trap beat..you're not gonna wunna be doing this..since it could interfere with the 808 sub bass
Hey man love the tutorials I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on vocal editing in the style of stuttering or quick repeats like jamie foxx blame it on the alcohol, young money bedrock, and young money steady mobbin. These tracks are the best examples of the type of effect I hear that I wish I knew how to do. thanks
This is great, though i am having trouble when i render my overall mix. The kick seems to be too loud within the low pass area and it clips. Any suggestions?
@PrizePirate i know its just as good as any other daw software,its all on how you use it,like you said a lot of producers use it rookie or pro,lex luger uses fl studio he used it to make bmf,a lot of people dont know that
@nfxbeats Yea i completely gotcha. ive noticed now i used to have them real low and thats why, so low its crazy. now by raisin the pitch on em a bit it actually has more boom on higher pitch. and ill mess with the eg also, but like VTZ did i saw him lower the attack or input of the 808, then put another thump kick on the same spot. so the 808 boom didnt hit right away and lower the mix, the other kick hit and then the 808 came in. but thx for the ideas man!
Hello mate! I just love your videos! I was wondering if there is a software that can help me make my own vst? I mean, i have some sounds in wav, which i love, but i want to use them as vst presets, not just like sounds! Is there a way? i am using FL! Thanks in advance
When you compare the 2 at the end, one of them is simply louder because you gained it up in the EQ. At the same volume, do the changes you made actually make it sound better? and also why are you in the red levels... I mean come on
@ChuChusChannel I'm pretty sure the channel you're seeing isn't the channel that the kick is on. Because every time he changes the EQ on it, it sounds different..
he was showing how to listen for sweet spots to help people know which areas to boost and which to lower, and if you'd watched the video before commenting you would have known that.
@jjdabaddes bring up the window for the sound you want, in the top right theres a box, put the channel number in the box you want to sent it to. is that what you were after
Interesting. What I usually do is high pass around 50Hz to clean it up a bit, pretty steep thin cut around 250 to seperate the low end, and usually end up having to cut some more lows after compression to avoid boominess and muddiness. Then depending, maybe some mid low EQ boost or distortion of some sort to help it cut through, plus maybe a layerd sub if its that type of beat... but Imma try this too. American style haha
It is not about just sounding "Good" . It is about tuning to the correct spectrum band so as not to have frequencies leaching into other parts of the spectrum band where other sounds will be tuned to. Thus each has its place and less muddy will be the mix.
the sound makes it seem more like a tutorial to make your kick sound more electronic than like an actual kick drum. it was still useful; i've actually wondered how people do that.
@jjdabaddes Click on your sound or channel, then go to the mixer and select the track you want to assign the channel to and hold the Ctrl key then press L... that's it.. it's linked to that mixer track.. or you can do it how Mitchamkyle said and match the FX number to the mixer track you want to use.
I don't see why people have something against FL Studio... a lot of rookie producers use it yeah.. but it's still a legit professional software intended for any experience level. And to be honest FL Studio is a great program to deliver just that. Anyways great tutorial nfx, I always watch your tutorials and always learn something. Haha you could be a real life audio producing teacher if you wanted to. I'd totally sign up for that.
@mrslideinsideu2 You prolly should turn up your Asio buffer. Dunno if you done it yet but if you dident done it yet: Options -> Audio settings -> There is a button: Show ASIO panel (When you use Asio4all) -> You can find a buffer length, you should turn it up a little. Gl and if this wasn't the solution, im sorry :) Btw, awesome tutorial again mate!
@Shadowlooker12 dude seriously, u misunderstood me.. im talking bout my own experience. if you measure sound quality compared to reason, reason is better.. but for functionality and freedom i choose Fl and i have been using it for 4 years despite having reason 3,my only frustation is, i cant find a bass vst for my hiphop beats.. and also some drum sounds.. but because of nfx again, i enhanced my music..
i used to get the kick...put in channel one..move the Y axis middle line to match the left...rase up the middle line on the X axis..make it not to wide or close....then mess with the fruity compressor and find a good volume but i gotta try this
@aidanday The video encoding always takes some of the quality out of the audio so the effect is exaggerated to make it easier to hear. I then cut it back. And remember this is not a always use situation and amounts really depend on how it sounds in your own mix.
for almost everything i make for every genre from hip hop to drum and bass my kicks are upped in the 80-200 range and the 3k-5k range depending on the kick. usually if i use more than one kick ill eq the bottom from one and the top from another so you get a low thump and the high clicky noise jus makes the low end seem stronger and more pronounced. when you add bass and leads it seems this kick would get drowned out. im i goin about it wrong?
So, what you're sying is: boost kick in the snare and subkick area (200hz,50hz), and cut the actuall kick area (100hz)? I don't know what others think, but for me it sounds like a bad snare with highcut filter.
@jadedxfaded And the plug in, in the mixer channel, is off. The green button is unselected. LMAO. So after he 'rolls off' the low freq and plays the kicks, the effect isnt even enabled. FAIL
Don't forget that a boost at 3k can make it cut throught easier, without having to raise the volume too much. The volume is horribly clipping in this video, even before processing.
Do you know what type of tutorial you have or where on warbeats the site I should go to better understand how to NOT make club/ dance kicks wobble? Since a wobbling sound makes them sound dirty...
If you checked that BD sound with an analysator, you would probably find a lot of bass which you cant hear but is still visible... Masking freqs is the problem here, you really cant boost that much without problems. Cut rather than boost, then bring the levels back up and you have more bass without sacrificing the quality and avoiding phasing / whatever problems
so instead of boosting at around 60 and 190 hz in this example you would do some small cuts (a few dbs)?? at around 55 and 65hz and 185hz and 195hz? please elaborate thx
High Pass Filter, HPF at 32Hz because most commercial speaker systems cannot produce 32Hz anyways, and it will get your kick to translate over a broad spectrum of speaker systems. dont worry, I'm in the process right now of uploading Mixing tutorials on every little aspect of mixing. :D
hey i luv your tutorials the one m asking u must have made it or its stupid to ask but can u temme how to make a loop of a pattern its kindda stupid but m a new use of fl studio thx
@MrDBoi69 The squares I refer to can be found on the colored tabs at the upper left corner of the window. They're right below the diamond shaped symbols and above the sliders. I hope that helps.

2:08 ...the param eq isn't even active and you're claiming a difference in sound?
@remix696 @remix696 With 808s, you have to EQ them independent of your other kicks to get the best results. 808s are tuned kicks. In other words they have more of a detectable pitch to them so you need to find the pitch that fits best in your key then worry about EQ to boost the low/sub freqs.

@ThisSmokeStream
Somewhere around 5:14 there's a cut in the movie where he switched it on. You are right that it was off before that time.
@divutskiDK when your tracks are going into the red parts of the dB meter, you are adding digital distortion. Just turn them down so it barely touches the red zone. The threshold is 0 dB and you want to mix to that level basically.
Great Tutorial! I still use the Warbeats KDE from time to time, and Im really enjoying the Warbeats Loudness Maximizer as well. Thanks for all your contributions and the best website for FL Studio anywhere!
You can also add 808 drum as background and use a limiter to boost it along with the velocity. The eq is for mixing your final beat
Hey man your tutorials are so informative, they've really helped take my music to the next level... Thanks NFX!
it depends on what im trying to do and what sound but the idea is if i like a sound i will do a small boost at most 4db usually but if there is masking like the sound it getting burred in that aria i like i dip it on whatever is blocking it up and i do the same with the other signal. small cuts in 1.5 db increments is pretty cool also saturation can help honestly i forgot what this video was like haha i have been so busy with mixing work but if you want help message me and we can talk about it
I'm only trying to point out that whatever lossy frequency ducking you do with an EQ can be compensated for with plugins further along in the mix.
Very interesting tutorial I like this eq2 in fl studio I can play with it for hours:D But are these tricks can be used in producing Trance music?
First of all thank you for posting these tutorials:
Second I had just a brief thought, it seemed as if you can find those "sweet spots" in the EQ2 from the music-synced lights that pulsed up on the spectrum whenever the kick hit. Again I learned quite alot form the EQ, im glad im more fluent with the plugins I use so often.

Can you make another video about EQing 808 kick heavy bass kick please

@TheDizzableOne Yes. I tweaked the UI and code a tiny bit, the main code was done by someone else to my specs.
This clip is pretty excellent. If you'll search beat generals through UA-cam they provide some more step by step info on this though...
OMG thanks a lot!
i didn't even end up with something close to what you did (the 2 and the 4 are like right next to eachother at like 100 hz.) but it sounds sooooo much better than it did first!

you should include the second part of the tutorial where you reveal that this is actually something you shouldn't do lol
I know right! lol, but this video is 4 years ago so hopefully he's learned better
It really depends on what kind of music it is..for example, on a trap beat..you're not gonna wunna be doing this..since it could interfere with the 808 sub bass
any updates? why shouldn't we do this?
It makes your low sound really muddy
Are there any other tutorials, which are up to date?
@NYCsPROBLEM Pay attention at 4:00. The BW meter of the band is moving at the bottom right.
Hey man love the tutorials I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on vocal editing in the style of stuttering or quick repeats like jamie foxx blame it on the alcohol, young money bedrock, and young money steady mobbin.

@SeanBrennanMusic grab the circles to the right of where it say BW on the bottom right to adjust it
your videos on mixing help A LOT
Such a good tutorials hopefully you have more on EQ

sick vid really helpful, do u have a tut on mastering insts?
Thanks man, im starting to use your tutorials more, i needed a fuller bass, so i remembered this one. thanks a bunch again :D

love all the vids i even asked a ? and got an answer back love you guys but i was wonder would you guys ever do a tut on say adobe audition
the sound makes it seem more like a tutorial to make your kick sound more electronic than like an actual kick drum. it was still useful; i've actually wondered how people do that.
@jjdabaddes

@nfxbeats at 3:50 you use the scroll wheel to narrow the curve. How would you do this if your using a laptop and you dont have a mouse?
I don't see why people have something against FL Studio... a lot of rookie producers use it yeah.. but it's still a legit professional software intended for any experience level.

Can u do a vid on how to get drums to sound like "Ruff Riders Anthem" DMX? They have this interesting envelope shape and sound
@mrslideinsideu2
You prolly should turn up your Asio buffer. Dunno if you done it yet but if you dident done it yet:
Options -> Audio settings -> There is a button: Show ASIO panel (When you use Asio4all) -> You can find a buffer length, you should turn it up a little.
Gl and if this wasn't the solution, im sorry :)
Btw, awesome tutorial again mate!
@Shadowlooker12 dude seriously, u misunderstood me..
im talking bout my own experience. if you measure sound quality compared to reason, reason is better.. but for functionality and freedom i choose Fl and i have been using it for 4 years despite having reason 3,my only frustation is, i cant find a bass vst for my hiphop beats.. and also some drum sounds.. but because of nfx again, i enhanced my music..
free filter doing same 60hz boom and Q as thump and then u can use Eq for mids and trebles or free filter with 16khz with Q.There is a few tehniques
You can build an EQ plugin equivalent to the one in this video from multiband compressors.
Thanks for this, it's really great! However, I'm wondering what can I do with the snare(s) and how to eq them well?
That's a valid response but you can also compensate for strictly subtractive EQ with compression and reverb techniques.
i used to get the kick...put in channel one..move the Y axis middle line to match the left...rase up the middle line on the X axis..make it not to wide or close....then mess with the fruity compressor and find a good volume but i gotta try this
amazing stuff. you really helped me make my kicks more "bumping".
love it man thank you! I understand analog gear and your tutorials are very helpful! good
OMG OMG! Man tnx a lot! You are a genie! Please continuo with EQ tricks.. It really helps a lot to all of us :)
Isnt it good to Notch out those really hard thump Sound to avoid Muddiness when mixing other sounds?
@aidanday The video encoding always takes some of the quality out of the audio so the effect is exaggerated to make it easier to hear. I then cut it back. And remember this is not a always use situation and amounts really depend on how it sounds in your own mix.
@nfxbeats, just lettin you know youve helped a ton. We appreciate it.
Awesome tutorial!
Very helpful man, thanks :D now I know what exaclty everything is in the Para EQ 2 :3
for almost everything i make for every genre from hip hop to drum and bass my kicks are upped in the 80-200 range and the 3k-5k range depending on the kick. usually if i use more than one kick ill eq the bottom from one and the top from another so you get a low thump and the high clicky noise jus makes the low end seem stronger and more pronounced. when you add bass and leads it seems this kick would get drowned out. im i goin about it wrong?
So, what you're sying is: boost kick in the snare and subkick area (200hz,50hz), and cut the actuall kick area (100hz)? I don't know what others think, but for me it sounds like a bad snare with highcut filter.
so it's better to route layed sounds like snare or kick to one channel, or you did it special to this tutorial?
sir i am ur big fan........sir what is echo i am confused plz tell me. thanx
@jadedxfaded And the plug in, in the mixer channel, is off. The green button is unselected. LMAO. So after he 'rolls off' the low freq and plays the kicks, the effect isnt even enabled. FAIL
That kick sounds like it will make your chest cave in lol. Great tutorial as always.
Don't forget that a boost at 3k can make it cut throught easier, without having to raise the volume too much.
The volume is horribly clipping in this video, even before processing.
Do you know what type of tutorial you have or where on warbeats the site I should go to better understand how to NOT make club/ dance kicks wobble? Since a wobbling sound makes them sound dirty...
hey umm i got a question uv got another tutorial about finding the sweet spot of a kick. soo which would i use? this or the other tutorial?
If you checked that BD sound with an analysator, you would probably find a lot of bass which you cant hear but is still visible... Masking freqs is the problem here, you really cant boost that much without problems. Cut rather than boost, then bring the levels back up and you have more bass without sacrificing the quality and avoiding phasing / whatever problems
so if u equalize ur sounds very well. u dont need any compressors at all ?
can you do a full mix of a song?
so instead of boosting at around 60 and 190 hz in this example you would do some small cuts (a few dbs)?? at around 55 and 65hz and 185hz and 195hz? please elaborate thx
can you link fx a kick into to channels in the mixer?
