I need help EQuing
So, until reading this post, I thought Future Producer people were just dudes who sat around and dorked around with Fruity Loops and stuff. I was very wrong. Here is my problem: I have been making beats on the MPC 2000xl for a couple years now...Over the last year I have begun to take it seriously, its basically all I do other than work. My beats sound great through my monitors, good through my headphones, but they sound weak when I put em into WAV files and burn em to cd or pu em in my ipod. I understand that WAVs are not sonically beautiful, but I feel that my problem has more to do with eq and maybe a little panning to fill things out. So, now that Tim has enlightened me to some great ideas on eq, how do I achieve that. I currently dont own a computer, though I am looking at the MAc pro laptop. I have heard of equing with a mixer, but that is all ear, right? cause, on a mixer you cant see the actual number on the frequency range. What is the most simple program I can use to eq my beats on the computer. I beleive in user friendly stuff, cause it doesnt stifle creativity. basically my friends, how do suggest I eq my beats?
