I wouldnt use EQ presets at all. Use yours ears.
Put an EQ on each track and modify the parameters until that channel sounds good.
Only do a master EQ once everything else is sounding good otherwise you'll end up distorting certain frequencies.

Do some reading into basic compression as well
 
Never use any presets on eq.. NEVER! Listen carefully to the sound, boost if you think certain frequencies need boosting, cut unneccesary frequencies, thats all there is to it. Look into the multi band compression in FL studio, that might be more something you wanne put on your master to make it sound crispier, but again try and not use presets.. but learn the plugins themselves so you can perfectly adjust them to your likings.
 
Just mess around with settings and see what you get. I agree with the posters above saying never use presets when it comes to EQ.

yeah basically what these others guys said, never use EQ presets and just go what your ear hears. do it till it sounds good and crispy.

improvise with the presets n give 100 % trust to your ears that's work on me :)
 
Use the "Soundgoodizer" on your master track and turn it up or down depending on the track, but once you do you're going to have to mix the song again, I've noticed brass becomes extremely overpowering..and trap is full of brass instruments. So I usually throw it on my master track at the beginning of the session. That's really the only "preset" I use... the rest I just go by ear.

I put this up for somebody on here in a different post, but you are more than welcome to use them. However, keep in mind that these presets were made my me for my own sounds, so they may or may not work for you. As others have said, it is best to learn to eq and NOT use presets. My advice would be to open them up in FL and study the settings so this will help you with your own eqing.

i wouldn't just randomly twist eq knobs that will waste so much time. and presets are fine as a starting point. if you find eq settings that work good for R&B save all your channel settings to recall for another R&B song. in music production you need to learn how to optimize your workflow without hindering your creative process.

also you need to learn what boosting and cutting different frequencies do to different kinds of sounds. you also need to learn about panning, levels and compression.

a great read is Mastering Audio: The Art and The Science by Katz
