Crossfader

Definition

A horizontal control that you slide left and right to switch the volume balance between the channels assigned to the left and right. At the far left only the sound assigned to the left plays, at the far right only the right, and at the center both play. Unlike the channel faders, which handle the volume of each track, this one handles moving between the two. In scratching it also becomes a tool for cutting quickly.
