Pitch and BPM

Ok, well I've been trying to key up all my records, and start down the road of mixing harmonicly. An idea poped into my head today about also marking the BPM of the records too. The reason why I want to do this, is alot of the stuff I have varies between 133 bpm, all the way to 145 bpm, all trance, some hard, some soft. Well, when you adjust the pitch over 3 %, youll go up a step, or down a step, so the reason why Im noteing all my BPM's here is, I was wondering if there is a relation to pitch and BPM, in other words, Lets take PVD Another way, which is in A at 0 pitch and runs at 136 bpm, but I want to bring in something else thats in E at 0pitch and runs at 145bpm, basically, I want to know if there is a way of gauaging what my key is going to be when i bring that records pitch down to 136bpm, get what im saying? Well I hope so

Thanks in advance

A semitone is roughly a 6.5 % difference.

Good luck finding stuff that perfectly mixes harmonically...

no, key the records at at 0 pitch, but figure out how pitch relates to BPM, for example, if i have a record that at 0 pitch is 136 BPM, and I move the pitch fader to 5.5 %, whats my BPM going to be? Im asking if there is a way to measure this, obviously you can do it with key, 6% on the pitch fader is one semitone, so I wonder what 6 % would do for BPM, know what Im sayin? If there is a way to do this, it would be nice, that way I can look at the records and figure out when I bring the record up a few bpm's how much my key is going to change.

ummm

(BPM * pitch) + BPM = new BPM


if pitch is +8% then you would use .08
