Reply to Mixing with DVS - Tips and Tricks?

So i'm fairly new to the DVS game, been DJ'ing for a few years now though.

Thought it would be fun to start a little tips and tricks thread for those of us using control vinyl.

My current setup is Technics 1210 mk2 x2, Denon X1600, and Traktor Scratch Pro.

I'm mostly a mix DJ, I'm slowly learning to scratch but it's more of a fun thing and not really a priority for me. That being said, what sort of tips and tricks do you guys like to use or have for me for mixing? It can be literally anything from beatmatching, to... well, whatever!
