mixing = rotary
scratching = fader
I perfer the sound and feel of rotarys for most of the music i spin. But when i wanna screw around w/ a few battle records, give me my line faders. |

I have a Pioneer DJM600 Mixer (Faders) but I so wish I had a rotary mixer. I can mix smoothly using either but it just somehow feels a lot better using rotary's!

| I own the Xone:92 with rotary knobs and by the far the best mixer I've ever used. I feel like I have a lot more control with knobs, and I just prefer the turning motion as opposed to pushing faders. I mostly spin progressive |

You lucky person!
I used one at a club a month ago and I was having so much fun!
Superb sound quality & looks to die for!
Definatly my first purchase next year! |

Xome: 92 has split cue as well as cue/master mix. The one thing that annoys me about it is you can't cue multiple channels at the same time. |

| I have a mixer with line faders, but dream of rotaries. |

both have thier uses.
i prefer line faders on the channel levels and crossfader..
... but i like a nice smooth rotary gain control on the phono channel like most mixers have... and use that as a rotary control when i need it.
rotary controls can be much more precise and seem to produce a smoother sound for transitions and bringing in beats.
the debate is fairly silly considering most mixers have line faders and a rotary gain knob -- just swap the knob on the gain control with a nice fat knob and you have both! |

| I spin trance and have been using ilne faders, but only until I can afford a rotary mixer. I guess it just seems like I have more control and accuracy with rotary. *Drools over Allen & Heath Xone 92 Rotary Edition* |
