I expect most people here are using the term "mixing" for mixdown of their tracks after recording/producing, not mixing as in DJ mixing. I also took quite some time to get into using it. As i first had the remote SL, who's faders are much to short to be any use for mixing, so I was used to working with mouse & keyboard. But this way I often got too caught up on the numbers. Now I set up the main parts (bass, kick, lead) going by the values so I get a good overall level, then I close my eyes with the bcf infront of me and do the rest of the volume ajusments, paning, send levels with my eyes closed and only concentrate on what it sounds like. (obviously this is also possible with a mouse & keyboard, but it's much more intuitive when working with those nice long faders)
Was it worth the $200 to show my friends the motorized faders following everything happening onscreen even though i don't use the darn thing?...Hell yes.
