I pretty much use the up faders for blending, leaving head room at about 3/4 for older tracks that need more boost, and use the crossfader if quickly cutting between two tracks, or beat cutting, or playing with scratching (which is just playing at my lack of skill level). This feels better for me control wise to mostly leave the x fader in the middle. Lately the EQ has been getting more use in blending than the up faders.

Actually thinking of turning off my crossfader functions in Tratkor, as I've had more accidents with it than uses.

I do both depending what I'm mixing. The more minimal stuff I mix with the volume faders because of the extra control. The whole fader for volume as opposed to half the cross fader. But as everyone has stated, you do what works for you.
