What do you think about using split-channel cueing?
I only discovered this feature a few weeks ago. Prior to that, I'd had a lot of cases where the records were just a tiny, little bit off, and I couldn't catch the problem by just having one ear exposed to the speakers. This made me extremely frustrated, and I couldn't figure out a way to make sure the beats would be 100% matched (not 99%).
Now, when cueing with split-channel, I'm able to hear exactly what the transition will sound like, and I resolve any problems before they arise.

I have it on my mixer, I hardly use it. 70% of the clubs have mixers that don't have all those nifty cueing features (cue pan, and split), so if you are used to this, you may get some probs.
My first mixer didn't have those functions, I've learned not to use them.

I don't quite get what you mean by split-channel cueing.....

But, often when I'm mixing, it's extremely hard to cue up the incoming record so it's 100% perfect, when it becomes audible in a few seconds.
See - when you're in a club, chances are no one will notice a less-than-perfect transition. But when you're making a CD for instance, you need to have a complete, guaranteed preview of how the two tracks are sounding together.

EH, by split-cue you mean one track in left one track in right.
I can't stand it. I'd rather have one track in right one track in speakers, cuz that way its easier for me to separate the two. If i'm unsure, and want to get it exact, I'd put both tracks in both the headphones and listen to the beats. Maybe my ears are messed, but if i have one in the left and one in the right, the left always sounds crisper and clearer... yeah, my ears are messed, too much cueing in the right ear i think. :P
Split-channel cueing?
