Need help with cueing

hey pro's

my beatmatching is quite good but my cueing sucks. sometimes it fits in the other track sometimes not. ive cd decks and when i cued it before the first bass starts and the other bass from the other track ends(4/4) it never fits into the other track. the bass is clapping. so i get back to the cue and wait for the other track till the 4/4 beat ends and then i push again the start button and it STILL wont fit in. then i get nervous and i search front and back and i work with the pitch bend and then the beats fit together but the tracks doesnt. i always go crazy

plz help with with this problem.

thank u in advance

1. When cueing incoming track, cue up, to but never on, the first beat of the track.
2. Beatmatch the two tracks
3. As the first beat of the outgoing track is heard, hit play at the cue point of the incoming track.
4. Use the jog wheel to speed up the incoming track to match the beats exactly.
5. Mix in.
