Reply to Crossfader: who really uses it?

I am just curious about this. I've been DJ'ing for 2 years now and today I laughed when I looked at my crossfader, as I realized I never use it. And I mean, never, for anything!

I spin Tech House, Techno, Minimal, Tribal, etc.


Who in here feels that the crossfader is totally unnecessary in dance music?

And if you feel it is needed, how do you use it?
