ive had this mixer for a year or 2 now, and love it (especially the 4 band EQ) but ive been growing more and more pissed off with the crossfader. Anyone thats used it will know what i mean. its great for mixing trance or house smoothly etc, but for chopping the hell out of its crap!! i was just about to trade it in (part Ex) for a pioneer 700, but i had a brain wave. i turned off the crossfader altogether and i know mix using just the channel faders. i had been so used to using the crossfader, and to be honest in retrospect had fallen into a bit of a routine with how i mixed. does anybody else use this technique to mix? im glad that im getting on with it, because i didnt want to have to get rid of it. its a good mixer apart from the fader curve. anyone else experienced this problem ???
