I don't remember. I set cue points if it is critical. If I am working on the fly....I will listen & count before mixing in the new track.

My Cuepoints are usually marked up as "Beat 32" or "Intro 16" which gives you the beats until the next cuepoint. Or yeah, listen to the intro before mixing it in.

I'm honestly surprised to hear that a lot of people do this.
I can almost always tell how many bars there are just by looking at the length of the track compared to the into/outro section.
If that fails, the beatjump +/- 8 beats works wonders!
You could also use the "beats to cue" option in the decks layout. Quite simply tells you how many beats until your next cue point so if you st a cue at the end of the intro you are sorted!

You could just get to know your tracks and know when things happen in that track?
things like this become a lot easier when you take away the visual element
Agreed. Sometimes staring at the waveform is a huge hinderance, cause its so hard to predict the song change visually. You need to know you tracks, and it not learn how tracks build and break, you will get that "feel" more naturally on songs. You can't be perfect but you damn well can practice and listen to your tracks to get really good at learning anticipation.
