when your mixing what do you use

the channle faders or the cross fadder

 

depends on the style of music u play, wot suits ur style of mixing and wot crossfader curve u have and how loose it is. Play about with both and make ur own mind up.

 

I started on crossfader only but now mainly use channel volume controls as it suits my mixing style easier.

 

My cross fader is very loose meaning that if i so desired i can scratch with it but i dont want to and therefore normally have it on thru and not actually assigned to nething.
