Check my post above, if it gallops after fifteen correct it with 0,2% and 30 sec's 0,1%.. It's not magic, but it works.. Try it..

If the tracks are the exact same pitch it can take less than 3 seconds for me to que up the track and sync the beats (I use TT's so I usually miss the beat by a little bit when I drop the incoming track in, so it requires a tiny amount of time to speed or slow the incoming track to sync the beats).
If they are within 2 or 3 BPM of each other it can takeu upto 10 seconds to get the tracks from unsynced to in sync and matched.
4+ BPM difference is when things get a little longer to get matched and in sync with on another. Probably no longer than 15 seconds to get it locked however. I rarely match up tracks that are outside of the 4% pitch range of one another so usually I'm sticking with music that stays around the same relative BPM.

When you get good, you don't need to listen for 30 seconds to see if they drift, you just know.
Your ears are that precise that you can hear within a second that it's either wrong or right, just like when you listen to a really poor quality mp3 and go "hang on...that's not right" within a few seconds.
I was like that for a few months when I was playing heavily, but now I've gone back to having to listen for a while; wish I could get back to where I was.

10 or less for me. Beatmatching is such a joke.
I want to be awesome like you when I grow up!
I voted 10-20 seconds because I take, on average, right around 20 seconds to line up two tracks. I spin electrohouse, progressive, and the occasional deep house set.
Anyone who says that they can line up and have it sounding perfect in less than 10 seconds has either been on the cover of DJMag or they're full of shit.

I disagree. I know quite a few people who can get it pretty much perfect in 10 seconds. I'm not one of those, but I can usually get it near enough in that time to throw straight in and ride the pitch from there on out
And being able to mix quickly doesn't make you a good DJ in the slightest, so the cover of DJMag comment is just silly

its been scientifically proven that the faster you beatmatch, the larger your penis.

i agree. with only 30 seconds of anticipation i can surely smooth bend my way through a long mix, but i'd much rather spend 20-30 seconds matching it, then a minute or two listening to both tracks in my phones to make sure they are DEAD on.
