$ Looking for Producers $
This question is prompted more toward creating Hip-Hop/R&B.
I get confused when EQ'ing the low end of my tracks... on what to add to the track to make it Full without making it annoying to the ears.
I have a ton of Kick & 808 samples plus Battery 3. Which leads me to a few questions:
1) Are there any "general" / across the board EQ'ing techniques when eq'ing 808's??? (808 is the deep sub-sonic kick bass not the Trilogy bass notes)
Note: right now I cut the very low end out from 0Hz - 30Hz, in the studio everything sounds good but when bringing the track in a car if those frequencies are not cut it rattles the car with no tone. what should i boost here?
2) Same question for the Kicks (the short quick kick bass)... these should not be EQ'ed in the same frequency as the 808 correct?
Note: for these I usually cut from 0hz - 80hz an boost at 100 hz, I’m looking for more tone here than to much annoying super low end sound.
3) Now this is where I really get confused... Trilogy, when adding Trilogy Bass notes it can totally change the dynamics of the low end Kicks and 808... Should Trilogy be used in place of 808?
Note: right now I use Trilogy to play along with/support/fatten up melodies in the track.
Glad that’s off my chest!!! I need to sit down with a pro engineer ASAP!!! LOL
