Hey everyone, im just starting to get into controllerism/djing and i have had a few negative comments on my "practising". First thing i want to say is i already have a musical backround (drums, guitar, piano, saxamaphone) and i really enjoy both electronic music and the art of scratching/turntablism. I plan on getting a sx2 in a couple months but found a Kontrol f1 at a garage sale for $50 still in box! So i bought it and have been messing around with that. However a few of my friends have been saying how dumb i look practising my "crossfading". I sometimes just use the up/down fader to practise "scratch style" crossfading until i get my main unit. How ridiculous is it to practise this? I mean it can't hurt right? (or is it a total waste that will have no benefit in learning how to scratch) i also sometimes practice finger drumming on the pads when off :S am i slightly retarded?
