Use (different types of) instruments that don’t use the same wave forms and frequencies, use filters in order to remove most of the low ends, use EQs in order to emphasize desired frequencies, use compressors in order to tame peaks. Make sure your mix is right, therefore mix in mono in order to get a proper balance. If you don’t know how to start, check the mixing thread.
Depends. I’m relying on my ears only all the time. As long as you check through several outputs (like headphones, monitors, speakers) you should be good to go.

Literally me atm.
The end is getting closer. Other priorities are set. You want to leave a better world, instead you realize the (western) world is getting worse all the time and there’s nothing you can do about it, which is depressing. Let’s leave and move elsewhere, escape the rat race.
