I was able to catch a DJ set last night- 'Lazy Dog' with Ben Watt (of Everything But the Girl) and Jay Hannan. They owned the crowd with their awesome mixing skills and choice of tunes.
Anyways, I was able to watch them mix up close and I noticed that they didn't use the crossfader at all. I was a bit puzzled. Is it really necessary to use a fader for mixing, or is it okay to just use volume adjustments? What are the pros and cons of these two methods? I'd appreciate any feedback on this.
