This is for those starting out. Once you've learnt to beatmatch concentrate on the make up of the songs not just running the two tracks in time and fading them. Your mixes just like a track itself must have a purpose not just a fade. Ie building up the atmosphere or making it more ambient if you're bringing the set down from its climax. I don't know if you know what I mean but for example would you mix the first track and the outro the same way? I wouldn't. Also know your buildups and breakdowns well. You want one track building coinciding with one track breaking down. you don't want to fade a track out to quick nor do you want the last track still there when your new tracks finished building up.

One more thing I've never used VTT but doesn't it have some sort of beat matching ability and wouldn't this mean it would be quicker to beatmatch than vinyl with which you rely on your ears. Also I would assume VTT like a pro cd player has cue which means those using it can find the start of their downbeat and keep using the same cue to test whether their beatmatched I think this could speed up the beatmatching process and may be a contributor to the current debate on beatmatching times.
