DJ Tool
Mix Timer
When do you have to start mixing in?
You're playing track A and want to mix in track B. This tool works out exactly when you have to start track B — based on the BPM and the intro length of track B.
What you learn with it
Planning the timing of transitions. A professional mix always starts at the beginning of a phrase — this tool helps you hit the right moment.
How to use the tool
Step 1: enter the BPM of the current track (track A)
Step 2: how long is the intro of track B? (choose 8, 16, 32 or 64 bars)
Step 3: press START exactly when track A reaches the start of a phrase
The timer shows: 'WAIT' → 'MIX IT IN NOW!' (yellow warning) → 'TOO LATE'
Goal: hit play on track B when the timer says 'MIX IT IN NOW!'
Most intro lengths are 16 or 32 bars. Look at the waveform in Rekordbox — the intro usually ends where the first drop visibly begins.

15–30 minutes
Take the time in one go — hearing and timing develop through repetition, not through reading.
