How are you supposed to mix 33 rpm tracks to 45rpm tracks and vice versa, because i dont think my pitch fader [plus or minus 10] can handle it

also how many BPMs is a plus or minus 10 percent pitch control come out to be?

Record Speed - RPM - has NOTHING to do with beatmatching.

You need o know how many BPMs a record is to know how much 10% will increase it.

140 bpm x 10% = 154 bpm

Yup, 45s are better sound quality than 33s. :)

I used to have that same problem.

Until I found my first records that went together that were at 33 RPM and at 45 RPM.

Now, all the records I spin, only like 1/4 is 33RPM. The rest are 45s.

you realize, of course, how stupid statement this is :) so you actually dont want to buy tunes that are 33rpm? You are missing like most of the tunes this way :)

I know it sounds stupid but let me clarify.

I spin mostly electro/housey breaks now and the records that I buy always end up being 45 RPM.

I barely spin trance anymore.

well genre isnt an issue here.. I think they make both speeds in all the genres.. I just dont think its very wise to have 45rpm as the main criteria when choosing records.. It would be much more efficent to learn how to mix with 33rpm..
T:REBEL
I'm just saying, LOL, that RPM isn't an issue for me. I don't mind if it comes either 33 or 45. Just that a lot of presses I buy end up being 45s and it's not my choice.

If you spin breakbeats, you find that a majority of breakbeats are 45s.

doesnt it just have to do with the space on the vinyl. like if there is 1 track on a side its 33, then 45 if there are 2?..

Space can be a factor.... if they want to fit more than one track on a side (or one especially long track), than they'll have to be 33.

I don't think RPM would have any effect on sound quality. The song is just stretched out over a longer period of time.

think of it like having a higher bitrate for your mp3's ... the more the better.

and yes that does apply to analog.


If you're using a reel to reel recorder and you do a take at 10 fps and another at 40 fps .. the 40 fps one will be MUCH better.
