yeah. I mix externally (evo5) so that applies only to key & pan, but turned out to be a lifesaver many times. like I said, I only had that problem a long time ago.
edit: whoops, I was reading & posting too fast (deck setttings != mixer settings, apparently). I don’t know which one it is, I just have traktor reset EVERYTHING upon track load to adoid fu… mishaps 
Noooo, that one also puts the line fader all the way UP! When I thought I was being smart by turning this on, I couldn’t figure out why a track always started out the master when I went to cue it :eek:
So I don’t like that one for internal mixing!

This applies to the DJTT mappings. On one of the 3_x (not the current one), Ean has the Delete key as a play/pause (I think he uses it in his beat gridding keyboard mapping). Here I am changing my mind about what song I want to search for and BAM the track stops!
ALWAYS check a TSI for play/pause in the keyboard mappings.

I learned to never dj at an event run by first time organisers, Unless you have full trust in them… Drove 100 miles, booked a hotel. Gig got called off beuause they couldn’t rig the sound system, When i got there at 12 o ‘fucking’ clock !
i lol’d
I learned today that DJ’ing is expensive when you own cats that like to play with wires. FML.
if you didnt take the hint: My cat just chewed over 3 cables and knocked down a pair of KRK monitors (Which are now broken) along with my soundcard (which is now also broken). Thankfully my DDM mixer didn’t get hurt, but my floortiles cracked upon impact.
Try claiming insurance on that.
Tough break.
This is the one thing that stands out to me, o nthe Xone 4D you have 3 types of filter and the one i mainly use is back to front in how you turn the knob, always funny when I have in the past started a mix to find i have picked wrong filter and cut the track mid mix lol that lesson was learnt properly on the second time of use!
Lose the cat!
I like cats…but this one seems to be ofF.
me and the missus got a kitten a few weeks ago, she either sleeps on my xone 4D or gets on my desk where i have my mac and watches the screen as i play around with Ableton, it actually facinates me to watch her lol rather then do work
Teach your cat this:
I learned today that you shouldn’t plan a party if you have no clue how that goes.
Dude, your not planning a party, your planning an epic event!!
so tell me, why do some people prefer upfader mixing (which, if am not mistaken, is using the volume faders and leaving the crossfasder untouched)
-Gianamrco
A longer upfader allows for a more subtler blending that lets you play two tracks and multiple decks together for a longer time.
i use a combo of both x-fade and upfade mixing, depends on what i want to do at the time
I use a combo.
I use the fader for cuts.
Buy usually use the up faders,…I find it blends better without dipping sound etc.
Some X Faders are trashy.
What do you mean by dipping sounds?
And would u consider the x-fader on the vci 100 trashy?
-Gianmarco
-agreed. When I was first starting out, I made the mistake of attempting to mix in a track with the X-fader to one side. That prompted me to leave the X fader centered and just mix with the up faders. Only recently have I begun incorporating both back into my mixing. 
Nope…not at all.
if you not taking your VCI with you and you have to use the house mixer (which I have been doing since about a year or more ago), sometimes the xFader is fucked…or whatever. So I just started using the upfaders and it has stuck.
There are a few settings for XFaders…sometimes on shitty mixers…when you have the fader in the middle…it makes the volume less so it does not redline.
I use my EQ and gains…so …
For me the line faders vs X-fader is a choice of independent control over linked control. With the line fader, I choose what is happening independently with each channel. With the X-fader, you work on a software or hardware mixing curve that may not always suit the mix.
For me: Long mixes + line faders, chops/radio fades = x-fader
But it is really a preference thing.
