hey fellow forum users! what do you think of slowed-down, key-locked happy hardcore?
what the heck is that? in case you're asking yourself that very question right now, i have made a mix for you to check out!!
here:

does this defeat the whole purpose or do you like it a bit slower?

I think HHC was slower 15 years ago at around 160-170 bpm.

it's pretty cool eh? you can really make out lyrics quite well!
and while this isn't a totally new genre it's definitely easier on the old ears after hours of crazy pounding hardcore.
(is this the Jan i partied with in guelph/toronto a few times?)

it's retro-hardcore, and if enough of ya'll like it i would be willing to do a fuller length mix, and by all means, if anyone else is using traktor please feel free to use this as well as I am interested in hearing what you can put together. in retrospect, 160bpm would have been a bit better. if you wanna turn it on and you're using traktor and a decent computer you can go to:
preferences > transport > key lock > select HiQ and Normal and then slow down to whatever speed you like.
vocalists don't sound like drag queens when this is on and the track is slowed down. plus, now you can mix hhc with breaks or dubstep or something else crazy that it doesn't belong with in order to create something really fresh for your ears.

You want me to do an entire mix with pitched down Hardcore with keyed up vocals? If so, I'm down.
I need to use Traktor though.

Its like pitched up hardstyle, i like to play hardstyle at 160-170 bpm.
Although i prefer to speed up songs over slowing them down, I think it sounds better.
even with Traktor keylock it still sounds bad to me

Yeah, I have LE, and I don't like it compared to Virtual DJ. But I have real decks so I'll use neither.

I actually really like that  I'm up for doing a mix like that sounds like fun.
Could you achieve the same effect by recording a mix in Virtual DJ and then changing the tempo in FL Studio?
