Sure, plenty of decks (particularly Vestax) can do wider ranges, but since 90% of clubs use 1210s, that's what DJs expect to have - hence "industry standard". > > My decks do it well.

I've played on $4000-a-piece CD turntables and even there you get very noticable distortion with any reasonable amount of correction. For example, slow a track down a chunk and you get phasing on transients like snares, and kick drums lose all their definition. I can guarantee people like Ableton are using "the right algorithms" but even with ample processing power it's not always clean. That's why when I play I use regular old-fashioned pitch adjustment - people don't notice that the track is half an octave down nearly as much as they notice distortion and echos. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20484 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
