i use my headphones with both tunes playing in both ears but i'm trying to get out of that habit.

its good for getting the beats matched but can be difficult when actually performing the mix.

Indeed, I too tend to have both tunes playing on both ears most of the time, and just as you, am trying to avoid it. It's great for fine-tuning, but I assume this type of feature is not on all mixers.

I spin with left ear on the monitor and the right in the phones, the phones just play the cued track, and sometimes I bring in the live track into the phones to see if they are in sync, I can beatmatch fine without doing that, but I bring the track in just to make sure I got the beats together.

Thanks for the advice guys...seems like a personal preference thing I guess.
