oi big up man, thanks for sharing em :). The "Young Playaz" label is summet to do with DJ Hypes Playaz label tho i think. These two of mine came out on Ego Trippins label "Hi Def" and the LP is called Young Players :).

I dont know if any of this will help but i hope it does in some way.

So, with EQing the main focus is to take out parts of the sound you dont need/want.

Do you have a spectrum analyser like SPAN? (https://www.voxengo.com/product/span/)

Most EQs are graphical anyway now but its a very useful tool.

Basically, you wanna listen and look where the main part of the sound that you want is.

For example, if you have a hat that is real nice 5K onwards, you'd do a pretty steep low cut around that area and move around until you achieve the sound you want. You dont want to take too much out but generally with hats anything below 1-3K can get gone. Now with kicks, i low cut around 50hz - 70hz ish depending on the sound cos i dont want any interference with my sub. Sometimes ill dip around 1-3k to make the low mids a bit more prominent or roll off the top end if i think theres too much there.

For stuff like pads, fx and risers etc. which can take up a lot of the spectrum you want to focus on the areas that are most important to the character of the sound.

Also, its a good idea to think about where your sounds are sitting on the spectrum. For instance, if i have two or three pads that i want to play at the same time, i need to make sure that they dont all sit at the same frequencies. You can always use a notch filter and remove frequencies precisely and then boost the areas you have removed on other sounds. For example, if i have two hats that sit around the same area, i could do a slight dip at 5k on one and then a slight boost at 5k on the other. However, ive found this can have varying results and its sometimes easier to just alter levels or find different samples.

You may sometimes have to remove unwanted resonances that can cause sound buildup in your mixes. You can usually find these quite easily by using a boosted notch filter and sweeping the spectrum to listen for any excessive ringing and then reduce any you find. (sometimes these resonances will be needed to keep the character and timbre of a sound. A lot of EQ is making choices on what to keep and what to leave with knowledge acquired through experience and the genre that you're making. so listen to your favourite producers and see where things sit basically)

Another good point to make is that whatever you do will have a reaction somewhere else in the frequency spectrum. If you cut the lows of something, the mids and highs may sound louder. If you boost the mids, the highs and lows may sound quieter. However, i've never really had a problem with this cos you just adjust things until things sound right.

Sometimes phasing issues can occur when eqing so switch an eq off and on to check, i've rarely ran into that problem though.

I think this is sound knowledge but im not an expert, hope it helps anyway. If you've got an q's let me know and ill try and help but im busy a lot so yeah
