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.
let all not forget that PVD has his own label and can press tracks however he wants to

+50? on a turntable is pretty extreme.

Maybe he was using the pitch shifter on the DJM 500/600?
