I seem to be making stuff around 135 recently. It seems more?.. right
But with mixing its pretty much 140, untill the Hip Hop comes in.. then it confuzzles me.

128 is perfect for making tunes for me, never mixed anything before but would be soooo sick to bring a fresh set to my shitty town.

yeah i like takin tracks that are around 135-140 an playin them at 145, also playin SOME uk funky at around 143 is good, works well for breakin shit down, usually if im goin lower than that i skip right down to 85-95 for my hip hop stuff :D

I don't mix, but I've been making tunes at closer to 130 recently. Current one I'm working on is at 124 actually, quite enjoying it.

I like mixing at around 142ish, although most of my own tunes are around 138.

Fucks sake I wish I still had a pair of turntables.

Everyone on here seems to have a pair of technics and a mad studio when I've only got an automatic belt-driven turntable, a broken snare drum and a xylophone.

towards the end of a set I realise both pitch controls are at like +6! I love all music from house, to funky, to grime to dubstep to jungle to drum n bass, but I generally mix grime and dubstep

@ Pistons: when you say you got sections, how exactly do you move between them?? cos i have started buyin housey tunes (eg LEts Talk - instrumental, Falty Dl's thing on Mu) and i wana get more so i can eventually build them into a set but dropping my other tunes to 120 and pitching the house upto 120 dont sound right plus then i cant mix straight into dubstep. how do you bridge?

Usually feels a bit too fast for me, but those are some quality tunes.

Same, but it works well with some tunes. I prefer 130-140, usually right around 138. I find myself slowing down the ones at 145 or so.

What is there not to see?

I dj anything around dubstep tempo and even double time so I sly in some cheeky ones.

But with production 125-135 bpm I can't get over.

I just meant isn't it weird to create music sounding right at 130, knowing you'll bump it up up 15 bpm when you actually play it out?
