Yo guys!

I'm interested in learning the basics of using EQ and Compression with DKFH. My band is going to be putting out a small demo before the summer to sort of create an interest, and for that we're using my POD, recording vocals at the other guitarist's house, and I'm programmed drums in DKFH. Obviously since it's a demo, it doesn't have to sound SUPER SPECTACULAR, but I'd like to set us apart from everything else 'round here with a superior sound.

I see everyone here talking about cutting certain frequencies and boosting others, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I do all of my synth and programming work in FL Studio 7, which is probably not the preferred DAW around here, but I understand it the most and it works well for what I want to do.

I downloaded all of the Modern Plugins that were up here in some topic, so I have those to use, as well as the typical FL Studio plugins, or other plugins that you guys would recommend. And what to start with on the DKFH mixer would be great too.

I'm starting to gradually understand what combination of EQ and compression creates what sound, but any advice (with picture examples if possible?) would be greatly appreciated.

friendforafoe, the bulber, Greg Pope, etc. anything I hear from you guys would be helpful!

I'm looking to create a really compressed, punchy snare, crisp cymbals, deep toms, and a semi-clicky bass drum as well.

Thanks SO MUCH!
