Yeah, I knew that, what I meant was why is it to slow. If the song is good i'll get into it, a couple bpm isn't too big a difference.

on technics, you can tweak the pitch control, i forgot how, but you can change it from 4% all the way up to 15%, i did it so long ago that i forgot but i put mine up to 10% so yea,

To me, it just depends on the TRACK I'm listening to. Most of Ferry Corsten's live mix on 2000/04/29 (you'll never stop hearing about this from me) wouldn't sound good if the speed/pitch were slowed down by 5% to the speed/pitch that the tracks were originally recorded. I DL'd some of those tracks that were played seperate and I didn't like the sound I got so, I sped all of them up by 5% and it matches what I originally heard. Sometimes, you have to do this to save space for a CD. Technique - Sun is Shinning didn't sound right to me in Tiesto @ ? (It was track 6) because it was sped up by 5%. I'm used to hearing that track at it's original speed/pitch. So, the bottom line is, on some tracks speed it up can sound better and other times, it just doesn't sound good (to me)...

It's not so much the speed of the song but the key that it is in. Changing the pitch either up or down messes up the key. I guess in your case it's just that you get used to listening to songs one way and when you hear them in a different key it seems strange.

Yeah, just lift the platter up. There's a little screw thing that controls the pitch, just turn it.

I LOVE my music at 125bpm-130bpm, but then again its progressive house...

What is this guy on about?! If you pitch up a record at 135 bpm by 6%, it will be playing at 143bpm- which will shift up the entire key of the record by 1 semitone and also aound pretty fast. This can really fuck your mixes up unless you know what you're doing. When mixing, records at 135bpm are really handy for changing the tempo and key (and therefore mood) of a set, so I disagree that everything should be recorded at 140bpm.

I think 135's pretty ok.. even for epic. I mean, some tracks are meant to be played slowwer.. like vocal-filled ones.
