i know this probably shouldn't turn into a "should I use sync" argument. but just remember that any time you beatmatch by ear instead of hitting that sync button, you're only doing it for fun. it doesn't make you a better DJ.
its also not very creative. just a thought.. why not just use sync, and free up creative time? it annoys me when I see "experienced" DJs beatmatching, being all happy with themselves, ignoring all the other important aspects of a mix. such as not having 2 vocals mixing together, forgetting about the levels as they crossfade (i.e. having a super maxed out sound when the cross fader is in the middle), not knowing when its ok to pile on frequencies from the incoming track without dipping them in the original. and lots of them also spend so long beatmatching that they forget there are lots more way to transition between tracks then mixing in the intro drums with the outro drums
(rant over) sorry
