    Default NEVER use the crossfader?

    Hi folks!

    i am curious how many people also don't use the crossfader for anything.
    for me, i never used him since the beginning.

    i like to steer my channel-volume directly with the seperate channel-faders which let me set different mix-ratio as i would be able to set with the crossfader.

    who does it the same?

    I haven't used a crossfader since i started.. And been DJ'n for around ten years now.

    I get more control through my line faders.

    I don't usually use the crossfader except for quick cuts. When mixing dance music, I don't use it at all, you get more control with the upfaders. In fact I broke the crossfader off my VCI-100 straight after buying it and never replaced it.

    Use it all the time, but then I don't really play 'dance' music - more funk/hip-hop/party breaks.

    When I started, I used the X Fader to fade my transitions....

    But pretty quickly I picked up that you don't HAVE to.

    I think I saw someone else using just the Volume Faders....and tried it then stuck with it.

    I only use it for Scratching now.....never for mixing.
