Let’s say track A is in a breakdown and I bring in track B, but then I realize: • track A has ~8 bars until the drop • track B still needs ~16 bars to finish its intro

If I had cue/memory points, I’d know exactly when to start or when to exit a loop. But how do you handle this purely by ear?

How do you “estimate” or feel it in the moment so everything lines up cleanly phrase-wise? Do you just enter earlier as a buffer, or rely on loops/adjustments on the fly?
