Genetic Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 how do you mean double handling gain and faders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 as in if you max your channel fadders and only use the gain to level off then set the cross fader to soft your killing 2 birds one stone i dont know if that makes sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 ah i think so, i vary sometimes i use cross fader and sometimes i use channel faders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 well ive finished the 8 week course and i must say i was worried it was a waste of money in the end i feel it was worth every cent.Ive learnt a lot from industry professionals, including some of the biggest dj's in aus as well as got my hands on equipment i never thought of using. aswell as meeting other fellow dj's and networking i fully recomend the course if you feel stuck or just think you wanna refine your skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 you should never use the channel faders to refine volume. They should onyl be used to create fades and define what percent of volume they give when two songs a playing.They should be at full and then use the gain/trim knobs to fine tune.

Genetic Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 yeah i use my gain's to match volume but i blend or create mix with either the cross or channel fader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 i use the gain to set the level and pretty much dont touch them after that i pretty much keep the cross fader center and use the channel faders to come in and out of the track.everyones different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
