depends on the tracks

anywhere from 15 seconds to around 50 secs for me

i guess progressive and house dj's takes, like 5 second's or not even 1, always the same Bpm and so easyyyyyy to mix,, but music like techno and trance are a little bit more harder to match fast, cause of their beat's


Techno Could be always: 135 or 134 to 140 Bpms,
Trance: Same
House and prog: 128 to 130 , at least all progressive songs i know, got that Bpm

really does vary, sometimes i get it beatmatched instantly, sometimes up to a minute depending on the tracks and the volume which i'm playin at

It varies of course... depending on how accurate you want it to be, if you listen to the two tracks playing together for a long enough period of time there is almost always possible to adjust the pitch by a tenth of a millimeter to get it even more accurate.

Also, sometimes it's a nice challenge to mix without beatmatching at all, that is, beatmatching after having released the cued track. Good for improving your skills.

im sure it is almost impossible to get a 'perfect' beatmatch in under 30 seconds. if you listened to your cued up, apparently perfectly matched, track playing alongside the live track in your headphones you would notice them slowly drift out. its the nature of analogue equipment. there will always be room for improvement in the beatmatching department when using a turntable to do so.

on a good day (and on good decks.. i.e. not mine) i usually have things beatmatched enough to mix in 10 secs min, 30 secs max..

I don't think you can say that, faster BPMs are more difficult to match but the actual transition will only take a fraction of a second. Progressive, on the other hand, may take a whole 2 minutes or more for the whole transition to complete itself, so naturally more effort must be put in to make the beatmatch stick.

Mixing at a faster BPM is actually easier because the beats will drift apart faster, thus you can notice and correct errors before you would be able to at a slower BPM.

I actually think trance is easier to mix, y? Cause of the build-up in a track
