i've been forced to play a lot on 16% technics. after couple of months, the area around +-3 % marked area comes useless, making the dj effectively playing everything on at least +6% (or -6), giving playable range around +6 to +12 (yikes). annoying. kills the basslines and bassdrum tones, as well as in house music all vocals... people usually learn after they've played for around 4, 5 years that 8% is enough. then they have enough records to play varied tempo stuff, without needing that 16%. > BTW - I like to keep to a certain speed, because that is my taste.

Don't become so intangled in debate that > you have to remark in a negative tone. well, then buy only records that are already at your favoured tempo, so you don't need 16% pitch control. sure it's great to ride on for example at 135 bpm for an hour, but for 6 hours? 8 hours? there's lots of good music, which is slower, as well as faster. sakke > >From: Sakari Karipuro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: Dennis Donohue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >CC: 313@hyperreal.org > >Subject: Re: [313] Gemini CDJ Package For Sale > >Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 17:08:30 +0200 (EET) > > > >On Thu, 1 Feb 2001, Dennis Donohue wrote: > > > > > I agree... > > > There are alot of older tracks that I rarely play anymore because they > >are > > > only 135BPM at +8, and I usually play faster than that. > > > For instance: anything on +8 > > > Spastik by plastikman > > > Anything by woddy McBride (incl.
