Reply to using loops too often?

Hi guys,

Basically, when I've been mixing on my Hercules RMX lately, I've fallen into a habit of looping the track that's being cue'd.

I'll have track A playing and to Que track B, I pick which part I want to come in and loop it for 8 bars and beatmatch, and then when i'm ready to bring track B in I take it off loop and bring the channel volume up.

It doesn't feel right :/ like i find it real easy and great for learning, but it feels like i'm cheating in a way, if you know what I mean?
