As any of you with a turntable notices, when you move the pitch control up or down, the number of beats per minute slightly changes as the pitch goes up or down. How many BPMs per 'interval' does a tune change when moving the pitch control?

you have to do the math depending on each record.
if a record is 130bpm, and yopu increase it 1%, it will be 131.30.
dont worry about exact numbers. it wont help you mixing. rely only on your ear.

Aye, what Cosmo said. Depends on the starting BPM of the record.

id like to see someone doing this actually, sitting there and being very quick at their mental maths, and just going *bang* +3.42% pitch change. could be very interesting if they could do it within a couple of seconds, u could have a VERY VERY VERY good mixer then ..... hmmmm *wonders off to revise mental maths*

problem is theres no +3.42% marker on the turntable and ears will always be faster than mental math

It's just one of those days where you want to bend over everyone you know and kiss their ass goodbye with a big sideways boot.
for that to work you'd need to know the exact BPM of your record. I don't think the readout on a djm600 or cdj would be accurate enough for that kind of thing. I'd really like to see someone do the mental math for alright i have a record playing at 129.875bpm i need to increase the pitch by 6.333 percent.
use your ears kids.

Half the time I don't even know the BPM of the song that's being played
but I just listen to cue and get a feeling of when the mix sounds right... I mean math? I don't need a calculator djing... and beat counters are too unreliable...

Yeah, u'd have to run every track before hand through on a BPM program that was accurate, i reckon it could be done, it'd take some effort but in essence u could get extremely close to the mark by using that method, then use ur ears to do the fine tuning.
Something to think about anyway
