Usually 10-20 for me, but I like to keep the phones on sometimes just in case.

depends on the tracks, i usually get it pretty damn close in 10

i like to take my time after that to make sure it's tight

it's all about being able to beatmatch on the fly and have it sound good though

what's the point of being able to beatmatch that fast anyways and not having it spot on, you're not gonna be switching over that fast anyways, I rather take 20-30 seconds and make sure it's perfectly beatmatched.

my thoughts exactly. Matching beat perfectly allows you to play around with other things, such as EQ or possibly mash ups without worrying about adjusting the pitch.

can get it close in less than 10 seconds, although it usually takes me 10-30 seconds to have it on perfectly, depending on the track.

Me too, if the beat goes off after 15 secs, that's 0,20%, works 9 times out of 10

Something along the lines of 20-30, sometimes faster, sometimes I get my head messed up and then there are times I switch to a total trainwreck mode as I can't seem to get it right at all. Have to keep training

so.... you let the whole track play with out sticking the other cd in? whenever you want to mix, you stick in the cd and do 10 seconds half ass and then correct while mixing? seems like a waste of time. the tracks are 6 minutes long in average... why not just do it properly the first time?

btw i dont know how you guys can get it perfect in 30 seconds. sometimes it takes 15 seconds before my track starts drifting..... i mean cdj's are that precise, so just waiting for that its 30 seconds.. that would be 45 seconds or 50.
