Have you ever noticed?
Have you ever noticed that the speed of a record by default is 33 and 1/3 RPM. if you were to put 4 beats on the record, in a cross shape, it would be perfect aligned at 133BPM.
33.3 RPM x 4, = 133 BPM
if all your records were like this, you could beatmatch without even listening.
not sure if you get what i mean or not, but i was just watching my slimatts go round and round trancing out, and i realized that the T passed the strobe light about once every four beats. so, i speeded it up a bit, and "beatmatched" the slimpatt visually, just for the heck of it.
anyway, if records had a cross in the center and were all pressed at 133BPM, you could see where the 4 beats would always be!
i guess that is a little slow though, i like to spin at around 140-145.
if you have 45 records though, the right speed would be 180BPM, so.. maybe that explains why D & B uses so many 45s?
I don't know, i'm just babbling now, just wondering if anyone else ever noticed that?
