Really? no cross fader? Do you ever need to EQ at the same time? How do you do all of that at once?
You have to be really fast. Sometimes you have to do more then 2 or 3 things at once. You will get faster the more you practice. It is not impossible.
If a cross fader could be made for the EQ (for instance, turning on the bass on one track, and turning off the bass on another) would you use that?
No.
I would still use individualized controls for each EQ setting for each channel. it gives you much more flexibility then using a cross fader.
I dont use a cross fader either. I use each channels own EQ and volume controls. once again, it gives you way more control to do exactly what you want.
