Your right about knowing your tracks, but it does help to know how and count beats when your in a situation such as mixing into another DJS record or a new record that your not too familiar with.

I totally agree on this one. You could even tell where the break downs are.

i mix prog and i find since the intros/outros are quite long it can sound a bit boring afterwards when listening...so you are right in mixing outro/main for the cued track. however sometimes it sounds shit for me and sometimes it sounds magic, so i guess its just a matter of practice. it definitely keeps the energy up there though
