For slapping and popping, the bass and high are up (boosted) and the mids are low (cut). It is referred to as a "smiley face EQ"

Tunes? Just about everything these days, seems like at times. I am an old guy. For a tune to get the hang of it, from the originator, and for a little language lesson, Sly and the Family Stone, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)

Forgive me the humor.
