After the Beat is layed... What to do?

Ey Yo... I tried searching but didt get my specific answers.

After I have made a beat what should I do before I give it to someone to use?

Am I going to focus on mixing? Equalizing? Both? Anything else? What are the typical ranges when this is done for hip hop beats?

Peace

Jus turn the MPC off and take a rest

make that beat how you want it to sound
When you cant hink of anything else, than what more can be done but drop lyrics.

Also, I don't think its a bad idea to record the and play the it on some stereos. See what aspects of the track need to be changed in order to make it sound better. Go back to the studio and EQ or do whatever you think you can do, record the changes and then listen to it again on consumer equipment. Then repeat if necessary.
I do this, for the most part. I haven't been recording my tracks very long, or very much, so I feel like I'm still in the trial-and-error stages of this method. But if you do it enough and get used to it, you'll be able to listen to what you're working on in the studio and know what the recording will sound like in the car or on your friends hi fi system.
