And if you had posted this on page 1, this thread would have been shutdown, owned, done for kaput...because you're exactly right. |

To the thread starter, yeah there's quite a few tracks that are too slow or fast and sound way better at the normal speed of what I want to mix with. And of course I always have to change pitch of records to match the tempo of the record that started the set. Sometimes I'll normalize once a record is mixed but usually not. Usually in a set I'm going for specific tempo/mood not trying to play every track as it was originally made. It all still sounds awesome.
*edit - to add to that, when starting a set, I put on the record to start and figure out where it sounds best to me. Sometimes it's at 0, sometimes just a little off of 0, sometimes WAYYY off. After that usually I'll just match the records to that. I can't think of anything specific offhand except for when I used to mix some house remixes of bjork tracks in with house sets. They were usually really slow so had to be pitched up all the way...sometimes couldn't be pitched up enough on 1200's with only +- 8. |

| So many sound better with adjustment, but off the top of my head: Ozgur Can - Spara Mig needs to be kicked way up from around 120 to 130. |

| Lunar Phase 7 |
CLSM - Sound of the Future I think it's orignally 160bpm.
Drop it down to 145 and it just sounds way better. |

| Palladium |
Hammer & Bennett - Language (Santiago Nino Dub Tech Mix)
this tech madness must be played at 140 |

| Bedrock - Voices (DJ Remy mix) sounds a lot better pitched up, IMO, as does a lot of 2step/UK garage... |

| Tom Middleton - Shinkansen (The Odyssey). It's natural BPM is too fast. I drop it down to -6% (Roughly 124 BPM, ala Danny Howells 2007 EM) and it's absolutely brilliant. |

Someone already beat you to it bro ;)
And I knew people were gonna bring that tune up...seems EVERYONE likes it pitched lower. |

D'oh! I skimmed the thread first, but failed to find it. :(
EDIT: Ah, I now see Nefardec called it "Amba - Shinkansen" that's what threw me off, I was searching for 'Tom Middleton'. |

Two of us mentioned it, actually.
And yeah, Danny Howells' EM is exactly where I heard the track first, and when I used it in my demo I also slowed it down. :) |
