MIXING 101: HOW TO EQ (The Right Way)

[@inthemix]

To get a steep filter like you show at 4:00 all you have to do is right click the point and set the type to "High Pass" and it cuts EVERYTHING away :)

[@SahilDanteni]

Right Bro👌

[@rocheeduboisbeatz7578]

ha!

[@redhood255]

WOW..... FL Studio KING is here, Take Notes!!!

[@UnitedPacci]

Tututuuuu lol I see what you did there. I does sound the same

[@jericoejones7376]

it wasn’t “strong enough to take out the frequencies” because you didn’t set it to high pass lol. if you don’t set that marker to high pass all you did was cut the low end by 10dB.

[@CezaMVO]

man i need a vocal editing video. every single step. from recording the vocals, vocal affects, etc. that would be cool. There are barely any vocal editing on Fl studio videos.

[@BlueNovaBeats]

CezaMVO on my channel, flp vocal presets of drake,6LACK, Bryson Tiller, Eli sostre, & pnd

[@cyrusking3408]

Blue Nova good looks on the eli one I love that nigga he's underrated

[@EvacTheGreat]

I may be able to help you out. Been recording Rap artists for years! shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@youyounada8763]

CezaMVO search on youtube there are many people who do that like brobeatz tv , justin omoi , mr different , seamlessr, and some other people that I don't recall (I remember one called guzoow or guzmow some shit like that)

[@Thes4LT]

If you want some tips on mixing vocals, it's pretty simple. Add a gate, gate out all the background noise and adjust the attack and release until the vocals still sound smooth.Next you want a de-esser. If you don't have one, check out spitfish which is a free plugin. Most DAWs also have de-essing features as a preset in their multiband compressors. Adjust the frequency and threshold until the sibilance has been tamed to your liking. Then, add two eqs. The first EQ will be for finding and surgically eliminating bad resonant frequencies. The first thing you should do is take a low pass filter with a moderate slope and roll off below about 100 dB. Make sure you don't get any boomy low end resonance. Take a bell with really low resonance, bring it all the way up, then listen for anything that sounds really terrible. Once you find some bad spots, lower the gain a couple db. Then use your next EQ. I like to boost around 300 hz, 2k hz, and 6-8k hz. It's up to you to find the sort of sound you want. Then run your vocals through a compressor of some sort with a ratio anywhere from 2 to 3.5 depending on the sound you want. The attack should be very low between .01 and 1ms. Release should be somewhere around 50ms. Use a delay calculator if you want exact release timings. Then, reduce your threshold until the compressor engages the vocals. Make sure it catches the lowest parts of the vocal. Then you can add whatever effects you want on top of the vocal. I reccommend using aux sends, busses, or return tracks for reverb and delay. Stuff like chorusing can be applied directly to the vocal track.

TNice tutorials tutorial was worth it, I understood everytNice tutorialng now

[@wavvmani2670]

not sure why everyone in the comments is having trouble following. i use these techniques(added to my own) to create very well mixed music. you dont have to do it exactly like him, it is HIS way of mixing afterall, as long as the end results are up to par. Great video all in all.

[@KCSupreme]

Hope you guys enjoy this video. Let me know what you want next!

[@SikanderHayer]

Bro, I think you can change the bell filter to a highpass. Otherwise you are just turning down the bass freq down, meaning they still exist. You can also add a resonance with the high pass as well. Check it out! Let me know! -SIKKY

[@jhilladay]

Super sick bro. Thanks!

[@nixnasty]

this was great KC, can u do mastering or at least compression/limiting using fruity limiter or maximus? basically raising the master volume and putting the final touches on the beat

[@monzayh89]

It's 6 in the morning in RSA and I'm watching this gem... Thanks KC Supreme!

[@EvacTheGreat]

Thank you for sharing with us!

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

This eq class much better then a lot of other videos I seen

[@ripsandyjlopez8328]

You can right click on one of the bands and go type>low pass/high pass. It will do the same thing, just a bit easier. Or above the squares you can scroll until you find what you’re looking for.

[@lukezmijewski404]

Finnally a decent tutorial probly best one I’ve seen

[@f30295]

The second beat is powerful.

[@tgricebeats2023]

Nice stuff man

[@misterpogi9399]

Thanks man

[@mantramusic5009]

KC I owe you some checks for all these placements! TY G

[@predestinedmusic]

Excellent Video Bro Thank You

[@ianlangille558]

Great video! One thing I like to do to speed up work flow is to go to the last fader in your mix, add ParametricEQ2, select the 20hz - 18khz, then click and hold Save Preset As and drag it to the fader on the left side. Repeat until you get to fader #1. Takes a minute to do and it saves a lot of unnecessary clicking. 👈😎👉

[@RahShanProductionsMTU]

Out of every tutorial I've seen you explained EQing the best.

[@DueceFlame]

Listening to the song open up after cutting the effects on is a very pleasing sound

[@domzeglaitis]

great tutorial, do more in depth stuff like this on mixing & mastering

[@Healody]

How am I the one to respond to Dom after 4 years?

[@pablomolla7387]

2:25 hay que quitar las bajas frecuencias del piano para dejarle espacio al bajo y al bombo del beat 2:44 deslizar hacia la derecha hasta oír cambios en el sonido, entonces volver hacia atrás hasta que no se perciba el cambio 3:45 ecualizar dos veces lo mismo para aumentar su fuerza, ya que el eq de fl no corta las frecuencias directamente

[@lfdre]

This is the best tutorial ever... This elevated my producing skills as a new producer 🤙🏽💯

[@andrewhill7887]

as a new producer almost any video will elevate you lmao

[@fastrack2170]

Thank you for helping me understand this bro!

[@JusQu649]

Thanks for the lesson on eq

[@pulaski7621]

Very nice and detailed tutorial

[@syncolinks8751]

Bruh I became a tough ass producer because of you man keep it up🤙🏽

[@DeAngeloDixon]

Bro bro's really out here educating people I appreciate you man you're giving people on their lunch break at their 9-5's gems lol , 💯 . Beat sounds fire asf by the way , 🔥 !

[@alexanderdraco2155]

MIXING 101: HOW TO USE COMPRESSION (The Right Way) PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[@Camzdead]

plz check me out and give feedback

[@brandonmaclennan7188]

There is no "right way" all music is different... Yes there guides but messing around will get you better results! There is no rules with music! As long as it sounds goof do whatever!

[@Franchisewav]

Waiting on this one too. I appreciate all the vids

[@yungdnny]

yes please i need someone with expertise to explain it and some common ways it'd be used. Please internet money?

[@Gh0zT-777]

Maybe he wants to learn how to professionals do things?

[@NoteIFeeds]

wow man, this is a good technique. I have the fl studio beta atm, but I'll try this.

[@rzajc]

Dude. Just right click the handle of the EQ and select high pass with a steep curve, or do that where you normally do it in the upper right, there you can also select high pass or low pass. just look at the hint bar when you do that. you don't need to EQ the bass twice.

[@TheRxsingProductions]

I think other mentioned it but using high and low shelfs to cut frequencies completely isn't normally an efficient way to do things. First, obviously, because it doesn't attenuate them enough. Secondly, because of how Eqs work there's a HUGE boost in frequencies at the cutoff point. You might not see in the parametric EQ but using the Pro-Q 2 by Fabfilter shows an accurate representation of it. Using a steep or smooth low/high pass gets better results most of the time. But there's no hard rules anyways, everyone do things differently and I'm still learning. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Thejoshbazan]

May y'all please do a tutorial on how a loud commercial beat should sound ? Like for instance what each instrument like the kick, snare, 808, etc volume should be so it adds up to the appropriate volume all together. And I really want to learn how to do cool stero seperation so you can make your melodies and some instruments sound so spacey like ruses beats.

[@daaamn001]

The part with the cracking sample, that was dope how did u cut it out pretty much! Thumps up. It was helpful!:)

[@VoltSpeedChannel]

When you realize you were doing it wrong all your life ;-; Producer lives matter

[@Rockyylikee]

VoltSpeed bro its really no wrong or right way.. be yourself and create your own sound.

[@ExoViZioN]

^ don't worry because Kc isn't doing it the right way either and still sounds good

[@Rockyylikee]

KSUB yeah it sounds good. But me as a producer i encourage other producers or musicians period to be themselves. Its nothing with learning different stuff but just be yourself create your own sound. Start a new wave

[@oribeats6555]

Sup guys. I need some advice on my latest beat.

[@Rockyylikee]

Ori Beats ok

[@alanfontes-pinheiro8584]

super helpful video man. Thank you!

[@Morenob1]

When you spend hours mixing a song and bypass sounds better

[@muse5254]

Morenob holy shit i felt this

[@artistmac1.3]

Bypass? Do you care to explain please =)

[@qstarr]

Bypass = taking of all the eqing muting it and listening to the original beat

[@artistmac1.3]

@@qstarr thank You very much!

[@anthonyscott16]

Good work man. Excellent lesson

[@corescopeplays2789]

thanks for the helpful tutorial

[@miker4483]

Damn good mixing tutorial. this particular technique was spot on. I checked out a couple others and this one by far was much more effective. Thanks. Mike..

[@nostra8767]

COMPRESSION OR SOME TIPS TO GET A CLEAR AND LOUD MIX PLZ

[@relaxingsoundsofnature3390]

I recommend to mix in context than mixing instrument solo. They will sound good solo but when combined with the rest of instruments, they sound bad

[@dabsmoothbeats1174]

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

[@essaypapers]

Yessirrr bruh, this the perfect video I needed. Been seeing a lot of folks doing this stuff hella quick and never knew wtf was goin on. preciate it chief

[@samcreamy2156]

this helped me a ton , thank you so much

[@MobSquad615]

Thanks, this is very helpful

[@jakeh5465]

The parametric EQ2 is a cool plugin but to me and some other people I know think it's a good idea NOT to use it on every sound. If you just pull down the bands it almost has a filter like sound to it which can actually create more unwanted harmonics within the sound. There is a free EQ plugin called "Nova" it's a dynamic equalizer and its super awesome. I'm surprised it's free. This tutorial was cool in teaching the concept of cutting lows and highs but I probably wouldn't have boosted every sound. Sometimes even only making cuts instead of boost can be just as good. Or if you do make a boost cut another sound in the same spectrum where you have boosted the other one.

[@OMGKENNY]

I just started producing recently and y'all videos really help. Much love.

[@OMGKENNY]

If any of you guys want, have a look at my two beats I have up on my channel and leave me some feedback. I'd appreciate it.

[@briana2979]

You should make a video on how to mix and master using stock plugins

[@Loule_e]

really thank you for this video

[@AJtheBillionaire]

Just what I needed 🙏

[@EastAfricanSniper]

Damn I really needed this, y'all clutch af

[@HoldMyNts]

Bro i want this beat cuz it gives me so many ideas of beats to make and its beautiful

[@ProdKyro]

For this part 4:12 Instead of a Low shelf filter use a low pass for both bands. Pull down the BW ( band width) for Band 2 to get rid of the curve and still have the Ultra cut

[@AdarshBhachawat]

The eq is strong enough to clear everything with just one band you have been using it wrong. Just right click the 1st band and change it to high pass then again right click it and set how steep you want it. And you can set any band pass as high pass, low pass, band pass.

[@ICANTHEARHER2222]

I never thought of double EQ'ing. That's pretty smart

[@Onfroy1217]

Another great vid! Please do a video on mixing beats full and loud like what we hear on the radio.

[@o.t.n_ofthenightproduction1952]

if you right click the dots on the eq you can program it to a high pass or low pass and ot will kill the freq you dont want alot harder

[@o.t.n_ofthenightproduction1952]

if you use the other fl eq it has a preset that is called snare enhancer or something works great getting crisp snares and claps

[@SAUCYV]

Finally a IM Producer that is smart and uses fl12

[@elijahj9902]

It makes it look and sound lot more cleaner thx bae

[@elijahj9902]

but Nick Mira is still my number 1 from Internet Money srry

[@FLATPOWERTV]

The proper way to get rid of that bell curve after sweeping off the low end is to reset the bandwidth knob at the bottom of that frequency.

[@lissa3715]

Can you do a beginners friendly video on how to mix vocals

[@BarbarianBeatss]

BOSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏻

[@cuttamuzik1]

He on point with it. Ppl gotta realize EVERYBODY will not mix the same way. More than one way to skin a cat

[@opNAE]

Helped a lot man, thank you for sharing. Question about leveling your sounds: Do you think there is a specific db area on the master that you wanna aim for with different instruments and drums before your master when you're leveling? Like your kicks, snares, 808s and Piano, synth, etc? Or does it completely depend on the sound itself?

[@genesisthegoat1142]

It really depends on the sound itself imo man just make heaps of beats and mix them and you'll eventually get an ear for it

[@nefdiaz7913]

3:40 You are cutting wrong, you only need to use a High Pass or Low Pass Filter to cut, is unnecessary use two bands and there are still subsonic frequencies.

[@KCSupreme]

ND Music I did use a high pass and low pass filter..

[@Croviel]

KC Supreme he's saying you only need one band to do the exact same cut you did

[@KCSupreme]

Croviel not true. I used 2 to double the effect. Double High Pass if you will.

[@Fastochemusic]

i know right bro i was like "w t f is that cut" theres still frequencies but cant hear by ear but they're still here and this is not good for cleaning PS: sry bad eng

[@nefdiaz7913]

Check the preset "20Hz + 18kHZ cut" that filter I mean, so you cut everything without subsonic frequencies remain and you also save one band :) Anyway, it's a good video.

[@jasontrinidad7872]

I know that sample it’s a good one

[@castaffstudio]

Thnkuu my request plz one video how to balance panning in mixing

Thanks . This helps

[@douglasrichardson2634]

i enjoyed the video I learned a lot... I notice you didn't side chain the kick drum and bass.

[@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185]

If you really want to remove the frequencies, just use a highpass or lowpass filter. You can also get the same steep cut by choosing the order "steep 8". Either way don't cut too much.

[@illmelley8058]

Liiiity Liiiiit! Thanks fam hella helped my mixes out. Appreciate the unity and knowledge you and the whole internet money crew bring forth to us fellow producers, trying to do the same thing EAT lol. THANK YOU.

[@DizOnemusic]

instead of 2 Low Shelf Curves You could use a highpass Filter that should cut the unwanted frequencies instead of lowering the Volume. i Think its a very Good Video for Beginners. keep on Goin i like your things

[@oneflygoodbye9983]

do you have videos how you make that beat ?

[@InviteOnlyxx]

Good job

[@7barsofchocolate]

3:40 I'm not sure, but I think to cut frequencies completely you need to change the curve to low pass/high pass and then play with it

[@afunnylookingsquash]

Good tips man
