    @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

    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.

    2:08 ...the param eq isn't even active and you're claiming a difference in sound?

  • @warbeats
    @warbeats  14 років тому

    @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.

  • @MoreauMurphey
    @MoreauMurphey 13 років тому +1

  • @scratchnsurf
    @scratchnsurf 13 років тому

    @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.

    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

  • @IntheDAW
    @IntheDAW 11 років тому

    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

  • @reaganomics4L

  • @PierStoddard
    @PierStoddard 13 років тому

    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.

  • @dop3boii6o4

    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

  • @DeadlyTyper42
    @DeadlyTyper42 14 років тому

    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!

  • @hannahbis420
    @hannahbis420 12 років тому

    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.

  • @halonone
    @halonone 13 років тому

    @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.

  • @KhemBoBeatZ

  • @cruitirerex
    @cruitirerex 8 років тому +2

    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?

  • @warbeats

  • @TorySoma
    @TorySoma 13 років тому

    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!

  • @GrouEEf
    @GrouEEf 13 років тому

    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.

  • @VaryableBeats
    @VaryableBeats 14 років тому

    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 ??

    • @jovanic38
      @jovanic38 10 років тому

      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

  • @VaryableBeats
    @VaryableBeats 14 років тому

    @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!

    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?

  • @TheTCStudios

  • @greekhop
    @greekhop 14 років тому

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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..

  • @warbeats
    @warbeats  14 років тому

    @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.

  • @dudeonthasopha
    @dudeonthasopha 14 років тому

    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?

  • @TheOfficialHalloween
    @TheOfficialHalloween 11 років тому

    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.

  • @Kyrsamakkara
    @Kyrsamakkara 11 років тому

    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

    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
