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.

Will is giving it away free, in PDF and EPUB. Get your copy here:

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!
