So if you have two tracks at the exact same tempo, and in phase, you will find that they will almost NEVER drift if beatgridded properly, and if they do, it would be at miniscule amounts. So 'beatmatching' in traktor is essentially just putting two tracks into phase, which while you can gain some insight into beatmatching by doing, will never really allow you to train your ear to match two tracks minus waveforms and quantization.
What you CAN do, is play the tracks at slightly different hundreth's or tenth's of bpm's and practice keeping them in phase. Or delete the beatgrid, turn off the waveforms and counter and have at it!
