How does PVD spin his songs so fast?
I was listening to the live in cream, ibiza set by paul van dyk. When he played Another way towards the end, I noticed that he was playing the song fast......really really fast. I do own a copy of Another way, and I decided to play it the way he did. (the record is 33 1/3 rpm) well, I put the pitch control all the way down, and I noticed that the song wasn't fast enough like PVD played. This time, I ran the record at 45 rpm and put the pitch control all the way up. It was way faster than how PVD played. Does he use a turntable that has like + 10 pitch adjust on it or what? What is his trick????
Many thanks,
Steve
you can adjust a turntable to play faster than it's supposed to, i think technics will go up to 15-20% or so.
or, he might have been playing it on CD, and cd decks sometimes have mass pitch range, like 100%
Sorry to post off topic, but I just saw your sig JohnSmith. LOL! Very good, and true! 
hehe.. i follow it religiously too! at least one mix, even if it's just two tracks, EVERY DAY, for the last month or so. my mixing has vastly improved.
depends on which turntables he was using... some decks have up to 10+
let all not forget that PVD has his own label and can press tracks however he wants to
Truth, and im sure he was on techs, but for instance my stanton str8-80's can go +12

+50? on a turntable is pretty extreme.
Maybe he was using the pitch shifter on the DJM 500/600?
Stoopid idea... OverClocked TT's??? LOL
the pitch shifter on the djm500/600.... all that does is change the pitch not the speed of the track!!! so nup cant be that
My old Vestax pdt5000 have +/-10% pitch.?.?

A great example of this is Dj Dawn's March Mix in which MARC DAWN - EXPANDER [FLUTLICHT MIX]he plays that at atleast 8% atleast!
At +50% the vocals would chipmunk so much it�d be one for the bats and cats! 
Sorry to be off topic but...

(I actually did cry with laughter at that 
)
ITS QUITE SIMPLE. HE TAKES THE PLATTER OFF HIS TECHNICS DECK. UNSCREWS THE COVER THEN ALTER THE INTERNAL PITCH SETTING. ITS MAKES A SL1210 GO UP TO +12. HES DONE IT FOR YEARS. I USED TO TOO. IT TAKES 2 MINS. SO U CAN DO IT WHEN U START YOUR SET BETWEEN RECORDS.
it goes beyond +12, my Tech goes to about 15-16%

I know no clue what you mean by this.......platter is the thing that spins around right? (It may sound like I own 1200s....but I do. I'm just really bad at "FIXING UP" things)
Thanks
Steve
i wrote a little longer "how to" on this a while back. thread is here
how would u guys dance if pvd does not play at a tempo of 140++
I always have issues with my techs, not being able to play fast enough. This one song, U2- beautiful day (some trance remix), i can never play it because it is too slow. I own tech 1200's. How can i change the pitch. Are there any downsides to this? (Like there is to Overclocking a computer?) Thanks.
