Thanks @Beto Ojeda, and thanks to @Cindy Preta as well for persuading me to play some more! I knew you would play again and surpass my score. 72 is a whole new level for me, unreachable at the moment!
Ok so I cheated at KitKut for a long time because I was switching on and off the cut, so in fact I was playing boost champ instead of kit kut. I realised that and am now trying to detect cut without switching on and off the EQ... And I suck at it n_n Boosted frequencies are IMO pretty easy to detect because you can boost frequencies with your mouth, doing a O shaped type of stuff. But I didn't find a way to relate to cutting, which turns the exercice as a spectrum analysis on my end. It does work a bit because after all those games I tend to know the samples, but it seems to me like a memory game, and I would never be able to apply this in context of a real mix or production.
I'd love some advice on what to listen here, and if there's a trick like the O shaped mouth that helped me figuring out the boost. And if evertything I described seems normal to you, the feedback is welcome as well.
Interesting, because i still also try to improve in this game (the real way). And i think, hearing cuts (or parts of the spectrum that are a bit low in energy) is also important for mixing. My best method is, to sweep up the frequency range in my mind and at the cornerstones think, whether i hear this frequency in the mix or not. Because i trained boost champ quite a lot, i have the sound of each frequency range in my mind.
So start at 150 hz, then 250 hz, 500 hz, 1k, 2k, 4k, 6-7k and 10k and above for example
For example: Then i realize oh, i hear the 500 hz, and i hear the 2000 hz but not so much the 1000 hz range, so it must be in this range.
Sometimes i try to narrow it down in the first few seconds to is it above 1k or below 1k. And then i narrow it down from there
But yeah. Still trying to improve. The method with the sweeping up also came from this forum actually.
