Well.. I was wnodering this... i mean... if I started a set with a track that is 140 BPM.. and then if I gonna beatcmach with the incoming will have to be 140 as well.. and after that that the new 140 bpm incomming again.. and again... so.. at the end.. the last track will be 140 BPm too??... maybe there are tips to change the BPM of the Sets,,, but Basically they are always the same BPM??

Thanks

correct, why would you wanna change the bpm anyway? The only way i have found to change the bpm is by not beat matching on purpose and mixing terribly on purpose as well. lol

hmm well, i would have to say yes, usually your BPM will be the same throughout your whole set.

Well yes and no. There will be some variation, but it’s going to be nothing major or highly noticeable. Personally, my BPM does change during a set. For CD’s and the like it stays the same throughout. However when I’m spinning out I’ll slowly build the BPM of the set so it gets a bit more banging towards the end. Not by much, but just a bit.

If you're going to spin prog to get the crowd into the mood and then slowly start to pump things up a little bit and then finish then off with a few epic trance tracks, then I think generally yhe BPMs are going to have to change *just a little*, slowly, hopefully unoticeably, as you go deeper into your set.

Or so I think.

But imagine you are mixing a tune that's 140 BPM into a tune that's 135 or something, wouldn't it be ok to gradually turn the 140 one up to (or araound) it's original pitch? (After you've cut out the 135 one of course.) Cause I think most tunes don't sound that good when slowed down...

I think there's nothing wrong with changing the bpm on a set... no rule that says you can't. If you're creative in doing it, and make it sound good, then go for it.

When im spinning in the club (depends what party tho) i build up with nice progressive and let that flow in trance.Thru the tracks i up the pitch a bit now and then.At the end i spin hardtrance/techhouse and at that point the bpm is alot higher then when i started with progressive.But it's all up 2 the dj himself...

Rule of thumb: As long as the crowd doesn't notice, the decks and your mixer are your playground..

If you are purposely going to change the tempo during your set, do it at a part that is silent or very quiet without much going on, that way the crowd won't notice the the pitch going up.

sorry i didn't read this entire thread so if im repeating something.. my bad.. anyways, i change bpm's throughout a set because i play different styles.. i usually start w/ progressive/progressive house and i usually play that at like 140??(i'm guessing) and then i move into club house/nrg and try to pick that up a little to about 145ish, then i move into trance and bring it back down to about 140ish.. these are all guess because i don't have a bpm counter but i know that i start and end a little slower than the middle of my set and the way i do it is that i'll kinda pick up the speed during the last track or 2 before the next style of music, and i just kinda slide the pitch up gradually throughout the track so its not noticable to the crowd.. well thats how i do it at least!
