I've just started DJing. Got a silly question about vinyls. How come on some records the BPM is really slow on side A and normal on side B. An example is Signum - Push Through. The Jaron inc mix on the A side is really slow but the mixes on the flip are normal. Any ideas why this is?
Cheers!! |

| Thanks for the quick reply. Im playing them on a really dodgy record player as my decks haven't arrived yet - might this be the problem? |

lol
one has been pressed to play at 33.3 RPM (revolutions per minute)and the other has been pressed at 45 RPM |

| There (usually) should be a setting on the turntable to change the RPM of the turntable to suit the RPM of the record :) |

| you'll realize that 45bpm is 90% of the time more DJ friendly then 33 :( and you'll also notice that if there is only 1 track on one side its 100x more friendly too. |

| HEHEHEHE - I ve a funny story about this Problem with 33rpm and 45rpm - I have the 12" of dj Icey - searching - and the one side is played with 33rpm and so I thought the other side is played by 33 too - and I always played the original version only with 33rpm - I always thought: oh - "what kind of relaxing Track of Dj icey" until one day (three weeks ago) I noticed that the origial supposed to be on 45rpm - and now it sounds better - but nobody noticed it that I played the records with the wrong speed - happens |

| Just make sure u know what speed is which when Party Time comes!! I've mad a couple errors in that sense (not with Trance, but hiphop imports!). |
