Do YOU use your Pitch Faders ?

[Gameboy]

Hi Guys,
the question maybe seems a little bit stupid but I recently asked myself why I never use my Pitch Faders when mixing tracks. I know that you usually use them to beatmatch, but with autosync and stuff you normally never need them, or am I wrong ?(sorry for my english *ashamed* )

Only if I'm mixing into another source, like when going b2b with people.

I never use my pitch faders for pitch fading. I actually need to decide what I want to use them for

Recently I was just wondering about guys on another dj forum who discussed about the VCI-300 and its 'high resolution' 14 bit Pitch faders - what the hell do you need high resolution pitch faders on a controller for ?!

Exactly, that is when I most use the pitch faders on my controller. I mostly use them every time I am taking over a set.
I do like to add a TT to my set if available and throw some nice records also. Then I use them again. Having bigger faders on the vci 100 like the ones on the 300s would be a very good improvment for some guys. It really depend if you mix sources really.

i´m using mine for the fader fx´s a lot (with the vci100 se tsi) and when tracks aren´t in time cause i don´t beatgrid my tracks...so sometimes autosync doesn´t work and i have to sync by ear (what i love to do).

I ocasionally use my pitch faders when moving from say breaks 133 to house 128. Will use them more once I've nailed fader fx mode.

I mapped them as deck c/d volume faders. I do tempo adjustments, speed ups/slow downs with the jogs and Scratch turned off.

I like to bring the BPM of a set up over time, so I use my faders for that, and for times when BMP detect doesn't work so I've gotta do it by ear.

I do with my BCD2000, especially when going from vinyl to digital with TSP 1.2.1 as there's no midi command to toggle the master clock panel view. The resolution isn't the greatest on the BCD2000 so I've had to map fine tempo buttons too, so I'm looking for a new controller tbh now I know what I want from my next controller.
