| So, is it cheating to do your beatmatching with both channels in your phones. I find it much more difficult matching as tight when i've got one ear in my headphones (cued track) and the other on the monitors (playing track) |

Absolutely, no one should EVER use the headphones to beatmatch two tunes together. As a matter of fact, you are breaking the DJ code by even using them in the first place......... |

Whichever works best for you! I usually beatmatch with one on and one off the ear and then for minor adjustments listen to both tracks at the same time in the phones. |

| i don't have stands for my monitors, so i never really use them even as they're so low. and i've got my amp in another room aswell so controlling the volume of my monitors is a bitch. so therefore i mix only in the headphones every time i mix. i should really get stands for my monitors though and an amp in my bedroom for them so i could try mixing with the one ear method. altho i'm mixing just for my own enjoyment and i will never play out anywhere most likely. anyway i'd like to try mixing with monitors. |

| If i were to ever play out is there any scenario where a mixer wouldn't have that function? like, say you couldnt mix the channels in your phones, only select which single channel to listen to in your phones. |

Be ready for anything when you play out in other clubs/venues! |

Sure, there is a possibility of that happening (I've had to use a Gemini mixer like that) but somehow nowadays it seems very, very unlikely. |
