-- Crossfader or Volume to mix?

Crossfader or Volume to mix?

Crossfader or Volume control to mix, or both?

Why?

Volume, because I have more control over track dynamics that way. Plus the crossfader on my mixer at home is a bit knackered.

Volume, I don't even have a crossfader...

I don't like the poll choices. Should be:

Mostly volume
Mostly crossfader
Only volume
Only crossfader
Equal mix of both

I do mostly volume, less harsh and more control.

it really depends on what i am doing. different tools for different tricks and all that...

Volume for mixing, crossfader for (attempting) scratching.

Crossfader 0 0%
Volume 12 70.59%
Both 5 29.41%

Quite inevitable really. Does anyone use ONLY the crossfader?

volume, can't stand x-faders for normal mixing, good for tricks tho

Mostly volume, I use the crossfader first a little, and continue with the volume...

Posted by Briden on Oct-28-2004 01:57:

volume only, cross fader for backspins and such.

the only sensible way to do it really!

both

Whichever suits the situation best - for me it's mostly the volume faders.

Exactly what they said, I really only use volume for mixing, and the crossfader for tricks, and having a Denon X1500, I'm always messing with the crossfader as you can actually turn it into a wet/dry controller for effects.

I only browse this forum, but every single time I look, there's yet another thread asking about this subject - does anyone really care how they alter the volume on an incoming track? I certainly don't.
