Toning down combinator

[Hi-Lo]

This weekend I made a pretty sick beat using about 5 NNXT patches together in the combinator, and now I need to put the finishing touches on this track and I've realized I just can't get any solid drums on it because the low end of my mix is extremely muddled from all of these instruments stacked on top of each other. I realize part of the solution is just equing some of the low end out, but since I'm new to this, does anyone have some general tips on that? Generally speaking if I'm trying to take some of the low end off of a stack of strings and organs, what frequency should I be lowering? Do I use the low shelf cutoff button in addition to eq'ing the low end?

Also, are there any other effects I should give some thought to? I'm new to the reason effects and I find them a lot less self explanatory than some of the VST mastering plugins I have in FL (i know reason effects are very easy to use once you know how- i'm just new at this, so its taking me some time).

yea..

select the combinator.
create>Mclass Eqaulizer

on the equalizer:
Click the "Low Cut" Button (LED)
Click the "Low Shelf" button (LED)
Under Low Shelf Turn the frequency to about 80hz - 100hz (this should be safe starting point)
Now lower the gain until you feel you have taken out enough of the low end.

thats it. Its pretty explanitory if you know how to work a graphic or parametric EQ, and know frequencies (or at least have a good reference source). reason is very simple, it just looks high tech.

again, thanks man. the low cut button just basically takes out the very lowest frequencies? just curious.
