Crossfader vs. Vertical faders

[katya]

I'm just curious as to how many people use
the crossfader to mix. I personally position
the crossfader in the middle at all times
and use the vertical faders to mix in the
next track. I think doing it that way allows
more control. What do you guys think?

vertical for sure, I'm with you on the control aspect

both, however i will mainly use the cross fader to fade in a second tune leaving the virticle fader just a little off the maximum so that once its time to let the tune your mixing roll by it self, i have a little boost to the volume of the track available if necessairy! if using 3 decks then i will just use the virt faders.
