    Don't be so literal with the song structure; every song is a little bit different. That's breaking it down way too much in my opinion. Just count in blocks of 8, 16 or 32 and see what happens in the song at that point. You really want to develop a feel for it so you don't have to count bars in your head. But for heaven's sake, if you're counting to 208 during a song, you're doing it wrong.

    Haha, the idea alone is golden. I don't think I could count even to 8 in the state I usually DJ in. Much less 208

    Alright ill just find good spots to play both songs at. Sometimes a good beat is playing at 5 bars instead of 8 bars, and then the beats about to drop in another song around 16 bars, while the other song is just getting going.

    I have this thing on traktor enabled so it shows me what bar I'm on, and when the "1" beat is.
    like for example i start it at 1.1 and then wait for the next song to get to 1.1

    i don't do one song at 1.1 and another at 3.3 i wait until it passes 4.4 and gets to 1.1 then i start the songs both at 1.1
