The formula
Seconds = beats per bar x bars x 60 / BPM. In 4/4 at 124 BPM, 16 bars lasts about 31 seconds.
Choosing a length
Short (2-4 bars) hides differences and suits cuts and echo outs. Medium (8 bars) is the everyday blend. Long (16-32 bars) is for songs that really match.
Questions
Why do DJs count in phrases?
Most dance music is built in 8- or 16-bar phrases. Starting a blend on a phrase boundary keeps the structure of both songs aligned.
