| im not a dj or anything like that but i was wondering if it is often for dj's to pitch up songs to make them more energetic or sound better. does this happen a lot and is it considered "acceptable" practice? One example i can think of is tiesto at dancevalley playing members of mayday 10 in 01. i think its pitched up a little and i tried pitching it up on my computer and it sounds 10 times better. |

if it sounds better, why not do it??!? I usually only change the pitch to beatmatch.. :D if it is faster, than it is faster, slower than it is slower :)

If you listen to Paul van Dyk's Mayday 2002 set there is a noticable increase in pitch, probably around 145 bpm ... its especially noticable in songs like 'Punk' and 'On the Run'. |

| I think that PvD actually plays all his sets at a higher pitch (something around 20%)... it gets the crowd moving more.. and obviously "faster" as well. |

yeah thats what i was thinking :D
usually between +2 to +6% pretty good for energy, but usually above +6%, some vocals are like chipmunks :D, and below -4%, the vocals or melody sounds horrible. |

some tracks sound COMPLETELY different when they are pitched up/down
a couple of examples:
Maurice - Feline
Sundance - Won't let This Feeling Go (Angelic Mix)
plus: the original recording of trance records is almost always done at lower speeds than djs play during sets: usually around 132-137 (while during the sets it almost always goes up to 145 or so).
and +20%. say, we have a record that was recorded at 135bpm. you have 135+20%=162 it's waaaay too much:) |
