Originally posted by djxtension I wasn't talking about speed, I was talking about how a record starts to sound if it is pitched down too much. I was not saying you shouldn't slow down a record for beatmatching, because this can be necessary every once in a while. What I was trying to say is if you play a record @ 130 BPM, and you try to mix in a record that is 138 BPM, you will lose the energy of the second record, because it is played way too slow compared to its original speed. Mixing in a record that is originally @ 133 BPM is not a problem, because you don't have to slow it down a lot. If the record you want to mix in is a lot faster, it usually sounds like shit if you slow it down. That was my point.

My apologies for not understanding.. Even so , most records sound fine when slowed down... it all depends on the situation.
