simply because if there are two sounds on the same frequency they'll start phasing with each other that means the "flange" effect as you call it...I'd prefer to call it phasing...it is doubled...maybe because of the more precise shape of the crossfader curve...or just the fact that it's rotary it becomes less audible...but that doesn't mean the sounds don't phase...
I think...
correct me if I'm wrong...
(meh, I'll put the last sentence in my sig, so I don't offend anyone...no pun intended!) |
When I was comparing the two I was reffering to Fader to Fader. Not using a crossfader.
I might of created some confusion when I said the first mixer I used had a rotary crossfader.
I'm using a cheap Rotary today, and, I still don't get the flange effect compared to mixing with faders.
The reason I call it flange and not phase is because flange goes up and down increasing it's output at times. Phase is either yes (In Phase) or no (Out of Phase) and is not sweepable. |

The same concept applies to any other fader...
be it crossfader/knob or channel fader/knob |

I too heard lots of big things about rotary, would love to try one & find out for myself :)
Heres a question, if rotary is all that, how comes the majority of mixers are fitted with typical line faders as standad rather than rotaries? |

Because rotaries are not good for Hip Hop or any other type of music that you need an instantaneous transition.
If you like to mix very slow transitions, you'll like rotaries.
If you like to mix short sharp transitions, you'll like faders. |

It's obvious then - fit rotaries as standard & let the hip hop freaks pay extra for line fader conversion kit ;) lol

| I like to use the gain knobs as a sort of mini rotary fader on mixers equipped with standard faders. |

| when using rotary, which fader setting do you use. the steady fader curve, the flat to steady curve, or the flat to sharp curve? i just got a rotary kit for my djm800 and am not sure which setting is best for rotary mixing... |
