hey hey again, hey my fader does not seem to work properly, when i move the fader to fade the music i can still hear the music, wat is wrong it is cripling my dj career, should i buy another fader??????????
And wat is meant by 'bleeding faders?'

thanx i really apretitate your work, this site rocks

You said that you can hear music when you fade so you fader is bleeding. Its bleeding music. I am not sure on what you should do. What mixer do you have. What fader bleeds. The channel fader or the crossfader. If its the crossfader, replace it with a new one.

i have an american dj mixer its a simple scatch mixer .and my fader is an american dj feather fader. so wats the problem???

Fader is a long straight variable resistor (similar to a rotary knob control of your car or home stereo knob) It is much easier and faster to use a straight fader.....the fader has two or more contacts & strips of resister material, as you slide the fader across from end to end or side to side the resistance changes from 0 to 100% (voltage drops). This gives you maximum to NO output volume. A CROSS fader has maximum volumes at each end and a combined volume in the center. When a fader wears out or becomes dirty it BLEEDS cuts out or sometimes arcs/shorts.

thanx u guys for ur help but i have got a couple more questions.
how do u avoid bleeding faders?
or is it something thats always wears out?

Faders will always wear out unless they are a magnetic fader or a true optical fader (which I would imagine ADJ would be working on anyway). Anyway, you can always go to Mars or GC and pick up some Caig Cail Lube, it should help prolong the life of your feather fader.

Darn, my fader is going down!
