"Here I'm going to be showing you how to do the channel fader stabs with music. Ready? Let's go. So remember, just start working with the channel fader. Try a couple of basic ones, but move up to the stab. This is the most effective one. Ready? Again remember, you're going to have to use a lot more motion with your hand, bringing the fader almost all the way down and all the way back up as opposed to the cross fader. It's completely in reverse. So again, make sure it's at the beginning of the sample and you're working completely opposite bringing it down with your fingers and clicking with your thumb where the sound will correspond with the click. As opposed to the channel fader, where the click corresponds with no sound. One more time. So start working with that."
