you don't need to copy another dj
experiment and come up with your own style

Dang, I am not copying other DJs...I know my screen name will make you think that I'm a DJ but I'm not. My middle name is David, and my last name starts with a J. Not disc jockey. Well thanks for all the replies though

I don`t use the crossfader.

I haven`t seen many big DJ`s use the crossfader, and when they did they wanted the incoming song on for just a "short peroid of time"(and the current song off when the incoming song is on for that short period") then quick back to the normal song again.

That was a shitty explenation but I hope you get my point

I think it depends on the equipment. On my stanton, the upfaders make the tune very hard to hear until the last few centimeters, in which the tune quadruples in volume. It's just too fast to get a smooth fade, so I use the crossfader, which has a very nice curve. So I imagine sometimes you would like one more than the other depending on what mixer you are using.

Just my thoughts
