FL Studio has several different ways to EQ your music but the best way by far is using FL Studio's EQ2. This Tip is really for Novice and Advanced users but Beginners can start practicing it as well.

EQ2 is a very special parametric equalizer because of its Spectral Analyzer and it's ability to key in on specific frequencies.

In the pics below, I opened EQ2 twice just so you can see the difference (you don't need to open it twice when eq'ing your beat...)

The top pic is what you see when you first open EQ2. These are it's default settings.

The second pic shows EQ2 while music is playing through it. You can see the Analyzer in the background (behind) your frequency sliders. If you look even closer, you can see that the sliders slide up and down but also side to side. Slides 1 & 2 are closer together and 4 & 5 are closer together. When you put your cursor arrow on the buttons, it even shows what frequencies you're on (even when you slide it side to side). This is very useful when you are keying in on specific frequencies. I.E. you may want a little more bass in an area thats it's lacking, or you may want more mids or less highs in specific areas. The louder the freq, the brighter it will appear on the Analyzer.

Thats where the Analyzer comes in real handy. While playing music, you adjust your slides, you can see the effects it has on your music all in one window...that's awesome! You can also use the Analyzer to see what kind of balance you have as far as being too bass heavy, too much highs and everything in between and you can adjust it accordingly. Even if you don't have FL Studio, you can see it's advantages.

So play around with it, and keep an eye on the Analyzer to see what your music is doing.

Thats a lil' late Dac

But when I used FL I loved the EQ2 for that reason. I don't need it now, but it's a good kick start to get into/better at mixing.

Did you stop and consider that someone may have requested for me to post this? I mean c'mon, it's people here that are new to FL and don't have a clue. This post is for them not for those that DON'T use FL. I'm just trying to give them some FL tips that will improve their game, thats all. Encouragement goes a long way, sometimes even further than being the first to post the latest news about the new "Infinity Mind Reading DAW 6000XL machII".
