Once you have two beats matched up, which method is more effective to make a smooth transition? The crossfader or the vertical fader?

mad scientist said:soemtimes when I hear the beatmatching in my headphones it sounds perfect but when I play it back live it sounds like garbage. What am I doing wrong.
GorDo said:basicly, what i find pretty reliable is:
up fader for when one tune is palyin, and xfader in the middle
and when on the mix, xfader to do fancy shit.
tricky bit is to remember whats open and whatc not...many times i have thought no ones hearing said record spinning badly while i was queing it in mah headphones.....and then i notice people looking at me....
em, id say its the other way around man.mesh said:yeah, also the problem with fucking with your gains too much in the mix; I reckon you should set them before even beat-matching, then use upfaders for tweaking.
mesh said:fair enough, I check my levels and set the gain to that before I beat-match.
I find messing with the gain whilst in the mix on a bigger system can cause too much irregularity in volume, whereas if its already set you can slide the upfaders and know that when you slam them up to max it won't be too loud.
Also, listen to the volume creep up when peeps get exxcited and fuck with gains too much in the mix.
but yeah, like y'know ...
