FRUITY LOOPY help pleeze

[Fratanize]

OK, stick in a rutt at the moment. Despite my beef post, i am having trubble making my beats phat.
Any fruity loopers got any advice?

not a fruity user but
try turnig the low gain on your kicks up inbetween 119hz and 166 hz
should give a nice thump to your beats
also i like to run several eqs on mi snares boosting high freq in several diffrent spots with the diff eqs

thanks mate. Prob i'm getting is. When i boost up a kick it starts to peak into the red. How can i get it phat without peaking? I dont know much about compression settings either

 

[vickvega]

i generally compress with high attack and low release
at a ratio of about 16:1
you can also use limiter to keep em out of the red
alot of the times mi drums go into the red but just a bit so as long as it doesnt sound distorted i dont worry to much about it -know its better to have em all i nthe green but oh well-been werkin out good so far

warbeats has 2 tutorials on youtube mate. one thats 25 mins long, and another thats less. the shorter one explains alot mate. not sure if you have watched it.

search ' warbeats eq ' in youtube. he explains how to find the sweet spot on a bass and keeo it in its own frequency so that it doesnt get mixed up with other instruments.
