This should be the first video every beginner watches when learning how to EQ properly. How come nobody explained Equing this way? It would save a lot of people a lot of time! Grey Goose shots for that one man!

[@by_antony]

[@tonysmooth9387]

Man you're really good at explaining things simply and efficiently. Your way of giving an example we can hear one or two times allows full understanding of what we must do, but also why. You're not rushing this and take the time to explain, that's not always the case. Thanks a lot for sharing what you know.

Thanks for the link to the EQ plugin, I really like that UI.

[@DaDrankKang]

Very welcome. There's nothing special about it. Actually it's quite limited compared to others. I just use it to show that it's not the plugins it's how well you understand and learn them.

Good tutorial Bruva

[@shanemurphy7277]

I have been so lost trying to figure out the best way to eq and mix my beats. This is the best video I have found on the topic so far. If anyone doesn’t mind could you recommend any other channels that are similar to this one. I really want to understand mixing.

[@DaDrankKang]

Look in the video description of the newer videos. You will find the link to my online help sessions. Thats where you can get the specific help you need. All info is in the link. 👍🏾

[@shanemurphy7277]

@@DaDrankKang Thanks bro, I really relate with your style of making music. 💪🏼

[@allanrabooable]

Thank you 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@jaelawrence1456]

The sauce = your tutorials show exactly what your title describes, but you show the building of the beat rather than “so here is the loop/ beat I came up with prior to me making this video” 🔑💪🏾 peace bro and thank you.

[@DaDrankKang]

Thanks. Loops are a part of beat making as well. And some do not know how to work with them. It's just a awesome to see someone teach how to work with a loop. It may not benefit you but always remember its FREE INFO. So just that deserves respect. 💯

[@jaelawrence1456]

Da Drank Kang knowledge is power! 👊🏾

[@jmons33]

Awesome content 🤩🤩

[@DaDrankKang]

Much respect 💯

[@tzodearf2596]

This is definitely a "Watch Later" because you teach how to listen to what the sliders are doing.

[@micahb-eazy4084]

Thank bro

[@gsmith11172]

Love the knowledge is there a more affordable Eq that works like DMG Audio

[@DaDrankKang]

There are inexpensive ones and free ones. Just do a little research instead of asking that way you can make a better choice for yourself. 👍🏾

[@alexnguyen8640]

Hey man, love the tutorial! I've got a quick question, I have installed the equality plugin to my PC as per instructions on their website but can't find it on my MPC beats. Can you help a brother out. Appreiciate your reply king! 👑

[@DaDrankKang]

I would love to but I dont know your computer or what you have on it that could be stopping it. All I know is it installs like any other plugin. There is no trick or anything. Its just like every other plugin.

[@djiireel63]

Good info Bro

[@DaDrankKang]

Thx. Glad to help.

[@JJSPICEGUY]

Great Vid, I have a random question, what audio interface do you use?

[@DaDrankKang]

Yamaha MW12 hybrid (analog and usb mixer/ Audio interface

[@inthestudiowithdjfingaprin502]

I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on E queuing with the stock plug-ins, standalone and can you get the same results you’re getting with your plug-in EQ on the computer

[@DaDrankKang]

That is why I made this video. Its is not what you use or where you use it. It is understanding what an EQ does that is what will help you anywhere you are using it.

[@coldskilzs4127]

Dope Knowledge,,, can this be achieved on the standalone in the X and Live?

[@DaDrankKang]

Thanks. As long as you can pull up any type of EQ ... as the video said this can be done. 👍 different EQs same concept.

[@coldskilzs4127]

@@DaDrankKang Thank You,,"

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

Is there a visual EQ plugin for the MPC Hardware. Along the lines of Fruity Parametic EQ (for FL) or other Visual EQs? I feel like there should be, but I can’t find it on my MPC

[@soulyahcma]

Do you level your volumes first (make sure they not running hot) before you do this or after? thank you

[@rayrayalmightyone]

When starting to make beats do you start with drums or melody/chords? What is the first thing to lay down?

[@DaDrankKang]

Depends on the person. Ask yourself what do you like most about music. There is your starting point.

[@gonepostalny]

How do you use the Equality EQ with the MPC X? I installed it on my PC, but it doesn't show up on my plug in manager.

[@JayBNDCKS]

I have that plug-in as well but for some reason it doesn’t seem to be affecting my samples or anything I put on. Do you know what I may be doing wrong(I’m also using the MPC X & software)?

[@isaacgodbolt9244]

My mpc live 2 was stolen I ordered another one but I have my sd card. Will my card work with the new one and does the mpc updates get saved on the card as well?

[@IsshmanGarcia]

I appreciate the effort you put into sharing knowledge. You might want to approach Groove3 or better yet, MASTERCLASS on creating a Production to Mixing class like Timbaland did. Your content is on a level by itself...NO CAP!

[@fiksustw]

Thanks. I'm struggling with mixing 😩

[@DaDrankKang]

It maybe because you are taking on the task by yourself. Personal one on one help is offered in the video description. 👍🏾

[@universoul_]

Hey bro...when you stem the beat out for mixing in another Daw, do you keep the EQing you did in the MPC software or do you stem it out dry and do it all over again??

[@bt70495]

Naw when you bounce the stems out it’s gonna take whatever you’ve done to it with it as well, so yes the eq’n will carry over

[@dw3508]

can't get equality to work in mpc beats... just dragging download file into my vst folder and clicking extract here.. not sure what i'm doing wrong 😥

[@mikedegrazia]

Can you do this in standalone?

[@alek8410]

elo bro CAN U TELL ME WHY I HAVE OZONE ELEMENTS AND YOULEAN 2 DEMO BUT I CANT USE IT IN MY STANDALONE AND SOFTWARE LIKE YOU. RESOECT.

[@DaDrankKang]

Standalone doesn't use 3rd party plugins. You must use the software.

[@alek8410]

@@DaDrankKang even software MPC - I looking where are plugins like SOLINA, MELLOTRON, BASSLINE etc. Maybe is that because I have only demo Mode? But In Reason 11 normally can use this, in Ableton only Youlean 2. Crazy! So, day after day I make beats on my Akai mpc LIVE 2, DT 770, so... One keyboard YAMAHA, In my country is a lot. I feel good, I day after day get understand more I more, I know what I can. And I do even good stuff, but I must Learn fucking marketing. I nearby 40 years ago over here, but in this year I say NO, STOP! I CAN MAKE MONEY FROM THINGS Which I LOVE and make everyday, why I don't learn how to make the work and in peace with news plugins and something good make my news beats and money in one. Fanbase? I must think how to sell it, beatstars - I have no will for this application, I don't know why ?

[@mimikoss]

why you cut the rootenote of the 808 ?

[@user-ij2uq9vg7m]

Yo I’m new to producing and just bought this EQ to use within MPC 1.9....but the EQ isn’t picking up any signal? Any idea why?

[@DaDrankKang]

Press the analyzer button in the top right corner to see the frequency information

[@user-ij2uq9vg7m]

Can’t work it out still, do I need to adjust my settings to get the track to play through the EQ?

[@user-ij2uq9vg7m]

For example I load my drum track, then insert EQuality, and open it, and there is no signal through EQuality

[@DaDrankKang]

@@user-ij2uq9vg7m if you are using the mpc software you dont need to route anything anywhere. I would check the settings of the EQ.

[@user-ij2uq9vg7m]

I’m not too sure what all the EQ settings mean to be honest, thanks for the help though I’ll try and work it out
