RE: 'sbeen so looooong
funny you should ask...
it actually takes some trial and error. I've found the best to be a combination of a large one and a small one (like 2" diameter for the big one and less than 1/2" for the smaller) tied together. If you can find the right size band in a hair elastic (the kind with a threaded insulation around it) they work great because they don't have as much friction as a plain rubberband, and the getup tends to rub at the point where the two are tied together. This can slow down yer action. The length of the band depends of course on what you're tying down to. I use a rack screw hole on the left side of my mixer (I cut with the left hand, table on the right)
The key is to find a combination of bands that's tight enough to reliably pull the fader fully off when released, but only requiring a hairpin trigger to open the channel. When you find it, hoo boy hot diggity it's fun
