Going from linear to rotary on a xone 42 (without gains)

For reference
I would like to know if this is a legitimate work-around that I've found or if this will do something to the sound that I'm not aware of or am not hearing.
Anyways, without any filters activated, the dry/wet knobs cut out the volume of a track. Set on dry fully, and the volume is all the way up, set on wet fully and it cuts the track out entirely. Ergo, if you leave the linear faders up on each channel you're using and cut the dry/wet knob all the way to wet for each channel you're cueing you won't hear that cued channel out of the speakers and only in your headphones. This beats using the gains to do the same thing since the gains control the power going to any given channel meaning it'll cut the volume to your headphones as well.
Anyways, is this a legitimate work-around? Am I doing something stupid? If this is a legitimate work-around then that's tight because I have the best of both worlds (quick cuts with linear faders, and smooth, long transitions with rotary knobs) It doesn't sound like it to me, but then again I am somewhat ignorant on the matter.
Also, would this work on other mixers/xones? |

| Why not just use your volume faders? |

| You get better control with rotary knobs. |

I think your frail waif-life hands just make it difficult for you to handle the faders like a man.

| I tried moving the volume faders with my flaps and it worked silly well. Uncanny. |

*siiigh* figures that's the only thing someone would point out.
That's an opinion. For longer, smoother transitions (in genres like techno and house) I find that for me rotary knobs provide a much smoother flow. And many others find that as well.
What you find works for you is immaterial to both the original topic, or me. :p |

Yes it will work fine... you wont have any problems.
Better smoother way of mixing and with a more natural feel (rotary vs linear) |
