Totally with R2D2 on this. If im using timecode or just decks ill beatmatch and enjoy djing the way i learnt.
If im using the VCI its for controllerism . Ive got better things to be doing than fannying around with pitch faders (that arent that precise). Hit sync, get the tracks aligned and then make adjustments with pitch bend and do some crazy shit with the contoller. My sync button is set to Hold so it doesnt stay on but if you want it on all the time just do it.
Each to his own. I like to mix dj methods and i dont care about one or the other. For me controllerism isnt about replicating turntable djing. Its about opening up my scope for doing stuff i cant with decks alone.
You do get used to the pitch faders but they are a bit clumsy... or is it me thats clumsy... probably
