LOL!  excellent!  I once heard someone refer to that as the sound/effect of 
"sneakers in the dryer"

I'm not into fancy stuff at all and usually take the road that the music stands 
for itself, "as-is." I don't usually futz around with very fine controls unless 
I feel it adds something to what I'm doing. When I first started I used to keep 
my indiv level controls up and then use the fader left-to-right, etc. but then 
somewhere along the way I changed to mostly not using the master fader at all 
and just using the levels for each channel (and my ears & watching the levels). 
But then it really depends on what you're doing & how you're doing it. Also 
whatever kind of tunes you're playing. I think some lend better to the mad/slam 
back & forth that one can get from using the master fade.

I have to say tho' - the train wreck method IS really entertaining - I've spent 
some time there myself! Nowadays it's mostly slight drag or missed measures 
that can sneak up on me ...  ;)
