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, 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
+12 Decibels ?
2:08 ...the param eq isn't even active and you're claiming a difference in sound?
your videos on mixing help A LOT
You need an award for how helpful this video was. Had to search through a lot of trash before i came across this gold. Thank you
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 🙏 ✌.
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 :-)
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.
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?
Hey man your tutorials are so informative, they've really helped take my music to the next level... Thanks NFX!
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!
Thanks for all your helpful videos.
Love your tutorials! Keep 'em coming.
probs the most helpfull tutorial on the internet. thank you, i spent months looking for something like this
Thanks man, im starting to use your tutorials more, i needed a fuller bass, so i remembered this one. thanks a bunch again :D
another awesome tutorial from this awesome guy!!!!!
@warbeats you rock brother. Love your style of instructing. Thanks for the help :)
What a fantastic tutorial man
I'm thirteen years late to the party, but this was enlightening as hell! Thank you sir!
Thanx man.i watch your vids all the time b4 I produce something.
Such a good tutorials hopefully you have more on EQ
Awesome tutorial!
Good stuff man, i really learned
very nice tutorial!!! Thanks a lot!! Keep the good work going!!
warbeats u tha truth OG I appreciate all ur tutorials I been learning from u for years just wanted to say thank you
When I start making some real money, You will be getting a big donation. You are doing a service much needed and well appreciated.
man, you're a genius. learned a lot from this tutorial.
1000/5*
That kick sounds like it will make your chest cave in lol. Great tutorial as always.
thanks, your tutorials are very good
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?
amazing stuff. you really helped me make my kicks more "bumping".
Nice job. I learned a lot
love it man thank you! I understand analog gear and your tutorials are very helpful! good
nice tut bro, greetz a true warbeats costumer!
Thx mate warbeat is awesome on every point
Awesome man!! Helpful tips! :D
OMG OMG! Man tnx a lot! You are a genie! Please continuo with EQ tricks.. It really helps a lot to all of us :)
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
Thanx @ nfxbeats for all the usefull vids.
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!
@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.
Thank you, got my kick just as I wanted it thanks to you. :)
I just gotta say , you got a lot of haters man. Great teacher, this Is exactly what I needed thank you!
In producing there’s always 20 different ways to something . Every track calls for different reinforcements..
a great lesson on kick frequencies 💡
Great tips! Thanks
Great great video bossman, thanks, and it helped alot. Thank you!
Man I love this guy. The tutorials are the shit.
Thank you so much for this video, it helped a lot!
Excellent Video thanks.
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
This tutorial is long, but you explain well. I learnt alot, you're great! :)
Thank you for the info..your a great instructor.
HELPED A LOT!!
Ur awesome man, thanx a lot for sharing the knowledge.
thanks man this helped a lot.
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.
Thank You nfxbeats!
Awesome
Those low freqs are so hard to handle
Very informative video
Can you make another video about EQing 808 kick heavy bass kick please
@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.
Cold and clinical is the cool new thing brah.
@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?
@nfxbeats, just lettin you know youve helped a ton. We appreciate it.
Thanks Al Pacino! Very helpful.
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.
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!
@TheDizzableOne Yes. I tweaked the UI and code a tiny bit, the main code was done by someone else to my specs.
Very helpful man, thanks :D now I know what exaclty everything is in the Para EQ 2 :3
very useful
thank you man
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
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.
Thank you so much for this!!
You're are amazing!
wow this really work well
Nice videos!
Thank you! learned alot!
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 ??
this guy is a fking genius. ive learned so much from him.
very very helpful! thank u.
Thanks homie!!
nice tutorial dudeeee!!!!
@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 vid
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...
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?
@dronehymns That only moves it up and down. How do you make the arch narrow? pointy, slim, skinny, sleek.
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
@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
@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.
Dope video bro..💙
You just got a new subscriber.
I just learned a new trick ; )
THANK You so much!!!

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?
very informational! thumbs up my friend!
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?
What is the key command to narrow the frequency arch? I don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel.
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.
@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
Thanks man, really appriciate.. :)
@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.
great man
at 5:50 i don't know if thats fl studio 9 or what but in fl studio 9 in the the parametric eq does it show the frequency as kind of an orangeish redish glow? if show do we want to be in the center of that glow? he says find the frequency but on this video you can't see it and w/ Fl 10 you can please respon
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?
Amazing ❤
