Congrats @Ro Lexia for winning the Golden Ears Award!

This Cut Champ edition might be frustrating😅. The margin for error is tiny, and the subtle low-end differences in the vocals can be really difficult to catch.

I’ve noticed that quickly toggling the filter seems to help me identify the muted frequency faster — specifically, turning it off, back on, and then off again.

I’m not claiming this is a foolproof method, but for those of you who are really struggling with this challenge, I’d recommend giving it a try: quickly press the left arrow, then the right arrow, and then the left arrow again.

I’m curious to hear your observations and whether this method helps you achieve better results!

Most of what we practise here is about the ears. This one is about everything around them.

Will Vance is a producer and the managing editor of Magnetic Magazine. He wrote Sequencer, a 222-page book about building a creative life as a producer. It covers:

making real time for music in a busy life
deciding which ideas are worth finishing
studio habits that last longer than a burst of motivation
measuring success by your own standards, not streams
working through creative resistance

It isn't a DAW manual. It's about the part of making music that no plugin can do for you: showing up and finishing.
