Was this subject nicked from Harder Faster?

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

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 ) 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 shit mixers I take my DJM-600 with me where possible.

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.

Djing with cds is the way forward. Ne questions about cd decks to me. www.faceparty.com/benrostwood MSN: benrostwood@yahoo.com
