Was this subject nicked from Harder Faster? scratchchin.gif

 

I use the channels, as when I have played in a club, I assume the cross fader does not work (it usually doesn;t)

I'M HUNGRY!

Depends what I'm mixing. If it's Drum & Bass or Old Skool Garage, I tend to use the X fader cos it's easier to chop the beats/ bass up with that, but if I'm mixing most other forms of music, I usually use the channels so as to make the mix sound smoother and less 'bumpy'

used to use the cross fader, but taught myself out of it as i've heard bad stories about teh quality of the cross fader in (london) clubs.

 

mind you - i do plan on implimenting a 3rd deck (just as soon as i leard to beat match frown.gif) so that kinda makes the cross fader redundant

you can still use the coss fader if you have channel assigns for the crossfader. But its quicker and easier (for mixing techno anyway) just using the sliders.

 

I do a bit of both.

As I use 3 Decks and a badger, I find the channel faders the way ahead, but when scratching a crossfader is necessary. To combat [censored] mixers I take my DJM-600 with me where possible.
