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%

+50? on a turntable is pretty extreme.

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

Stoopid idea... OverClocked TT's??? LOL
