Crossfader vs. Vertical faders

[synikal waste]

Mix of both ........crossfader to balance across the two channels ......... channel faders to chop overlays....... crossfader to chopout completely .......... kill switches .........

Its a kind of finger popping style to borrow a hip hop term

Do you prefer using the steering wheel or the gear stick when you drive? and do you prefer using the accelerator or the brakes?

Steering wheel and accelerator are much more fun than gear stick and brake, IMHO.

agree! ;)

my whole style of mixing is based on the vertical mixers, however the cross fader can come in handy, but definatly is the secondary fader.

i played a gig and they had a rotary mixer set up.

i dont understand what the deal is with those. you can do the exact same thing with regular vertical faders on a regular mixer, but with the rotary, you are limited to just fading your mixes.

i was so choked playin on that mixer

I'm using it all baby!

I don't think I've ever owned a mixer without a f*cked crossfader tbh so it's channels all the way for me

I don't drive.

"Do you prefer using the steering wheel or the gear stick when you drive? and do you prefer using the accelerator or the brakes?"

That analogy doesn't work.

A Steering wheel control the direction of the vehicle, the gear stick controls the gearing. The accelerator and brakes are mirror opposites.

They all control different tasks.

The Cross Fader and Level Faders all do essentially the same task; attenuating dB level of an input.

Thought thee were right clever, didnt tha?

Do one!!

Shouldn't that be 'reet clever'? :P

Phonetically it would be something like...

'Rate' or 'Rairt'

My mate is over in Japan with me now. He is from Woodseats in Sheffield. I forgot how strong his accent was.

I am loving it though. Its always amusing when the Americans meet the real deal and have to re-assess their ideas of what they think their ancestry to be in terms of character.

He is going to get deported soon no doubt.

and you need to cheer up.

Crossfade is OK for cutting, but not for mixing.

Especially since it is between 2 channels only.


Well that is my opinion atleast.
