 I'm HI-passing my kicks, so why won't it work? |

Hey guys, pretty simple problem here but I don't know how to fix it.
I'm applying EQ to both my kicks to filter out sounds lower than 80hz, but on the master track it still says that there's sounds coming through.
Here's a screen shot of my problem.
Sorry for the low quality, I've only got paint.

Do you have reverbs on low or low mid elements?

First off you HI-passed your kicks, the title says the opposite.
Don't use that kind of aggressive filtering it will cause some weird frequencies to be generated. If you hi-pass your kicks at 80Hz like you do you'll damage them badly, the curve should roll off on the low end, not an aggressive cut.
Use the Fruity Free Filter to hi-pass and don't worry too much about some low end coming through.
Equo is a nice looking tool, but I stopped using it as I find it unreliable for such tasks.
The only good thing about equo is the analyze button that helps you pseudo-compress the sound by lowering the frequencies that are too loud and lifting the ones that are too silent, but that function isn't a miracle tool that should be applied on everything, just handy in some cases.
When I started to compose I used to cut/boost very extreme on my sounds whereas now days I only apply slight boosts or little notches in EQing most of the time. I mixdown my drums separately and hi-pass them with FL MAXIMUS at that stage. Then I reload them as a break (or several breaks) and use a hi-pass on the master at around 30Hz to be able to keep the sub bass.

You use the Q to change the roll-off of the curve (from XHz down to 0Hz), higher Q level means the curve goes down slowly. Low Q level means that it gets closer to the way you cut of the lower end in EQUO (on the images you posted).

The Q knob controls the resonance of the low pass filter, so the more you turn it the louder the frequencies around the cut off point get. This is more than likely why it's clipping, try looking at the sound through a spectrum analyser to see if this is the case.

Well I wouldn't have known, don't use FL 
|
That's what I've been trying to prove and tell everyone these 8 years - FL is utter crap. Why can't you understand, people?! I mean, I've been working 8 years on it to prove this. You gotta believe me.

Everyone knows it's impossible to make a decent tune with frooty. For proof just listen to some of my tracks; it's not my fault they're all crap, it's the daw I tell you!

Tomos seems to do alright with FL ...
shame about the tight fisted buggers that created it though & their shitty sample copyrights. |
I was being sarcastic but forgot to add a smiley.
FL is the same as any other daw really, you get out what you put in, but saying that I don't use it much any more. I just seem to answer a lot of questions about it.

I love you, in a totally admirable non-gay way.
