Does any of you have some tips on how to approach Kit Cut?

I'm in the middle of changing the way i play the game. Before i used to just turn the eq off and basically treat it like its Peak Master which makes the game pretty easy. However in hindsight I don't really think thats a very helpful way of approaching the game.

Now I force myself not to swith the EQ on/off and even level 3 feels challenging. Peak master really clicked for me when I learned the distinct vowels of all of the frequency bands. Is there a similar trick i can learn with Kit Cut? Or is it more like an intuition that develops over time?

I used to do the same as you ... switching on/off several times. Now I listen for a bit with EQ on, then switch it off, move to the eq zone I think is affected then switch it back on one more time to confirm.

It never occurred to me that I wasn't getting the most from the game until someone else mentioned that the idea was to be able to detect what is missing not just which frequency pops up when the filter is turned off. So now I listen, make an assessment of what is missing, then turn the filter off for confirmation before I make my guess. I find that the game is pretty challenging for that initial assessment. I don't know of any tricks that will make it any easier, it's just a matter of time/training.

Ditto. I also pick the same instruments for my workout. So like today is piano day, or brass day. I do live sound mixing more than composing or producing so I can hear it in the PA but don't really know the frequency I am playing around with. But just hearing one instrument, in all the games or choosing the same instrument for all the games where I am struggling has really focused me. I think I did Kit Cut on Piano for like two weeks. I also use the interactive frequency chart to help zero each instrument when I have surprise client changes. Cheers
