| 2 ears hearing both channels in each ear. I have no idea how you people do the one ear thing, I cannot do this at all. |

i've never really used the 2 ear method to mix. i use the split cue function (with both cups) to level out both tracks but from there its always one ear. in the house i use one ear with cue and master playing but when i play out i find i have to use just the cue track as not all mixers have a pan feature between cue/master |
Oh thats what I meant, well kinda...mixers like the djm 500 yea I understand don't have that feature, but most that I play on do and for cdjs usually I can just keep pushing the play/cue button and hear it in my cans instantly if it hit the right phrase. With vinyl it seems that I need to know the rate that I am holding the vinyl back and forth so I need to hear just the cued track in 1 cup and hear the master from the monitors, only once that is done I proceed with mixing in both cans. |

| Split cue, only because I'm using my PC speakers as monitors. Don't get me wrong, they sound incredible, but they just don't work well as monitors. |

One ear cue track only. For me its the quickest most accurate way to mix. I don't need to drop my headphones to listen to the monitors because I am already listening to them while I'm making sure the track I'm mixing in is locked. Keep your hand on the pitch fader or the the jogwheel/bend buttons.
To tell you the truth I really did have to force myself to go one cup cue from two cup stereo, and it was like pulling nails, but now I am very thankful. |

| Always 2 cup cueing, sometimes in combination with split function. To me it is the most accurate way of mixing especially when the monitors are crap. |

| both ears in the headphones for me, because my monitors are VERY VERY bad, i should get new ones probably and try out the one ear monitoring properly. |

Mostly stereo headphones but one ear cue aswell.
I use a mixture to check and double check. |

| I start with One ear cueing, I roughly beatmatch the tracks as quick as i can. After that i put the other cup on and finetune the pitch (cue and master blended). |

Both channels in both cans most the time, mainly because at home I tend to have to keep it quiet so I solve the issue by not even having my monitors turned on.
In a club I use a combination of both channels in both ears, one on one off, etc depending on how good the monitors are, how it all sounds and what I'm doing. |

| i must admit that you can hear the beats more clearly swinging if they are out with your headphones on. |

at home i usually do all my work in the headphones. -in stereo.
when i go 1 ear, i use the left one for cuing, and listen to the monitor, or rig on the right. sometimes i will match in the headphones, then pull one ear off to compare, and get an idea of what adjustments i will need to make for delay. |
ditto for me |
