Have you guys noticed every time we explain why marking BPM on a track helps harmonic mixing...someone like this guy comes in, whips out their jackass stick, and starts the cycle all over again?

Sorry to quote you, but if you read the thread you'll see it happening over and over again.

i keep a note of what key alot of my tracks are in (while played at 135 bpm). that way i i dont have to worry about different bpms affecting harmonic mixing. i think its pretty pointless to just note the bpm though. it shouldnt take longer than a week to learn to beatmatch

what do you do with the tracks that fall halfway between keys? for example a song in the key of c pitched up but not pitched up enough to be in the key of c#

well i have intervals of 1/4 tones. so for example c/c#, its a bit annoying but its the only way i could work out to do it.

I could see how it would get annoying, but if it works for you then I'm all for it.
