I play trancecore and it makes me happy at 175 -185
everyone persecutes artists till they are famous then they say they stood by them all along

Whats the deal with everybody playing stuff at such fast speeds now. Its putting me right of.
I think i was listening to a set of virus, and dont get me wrong i think hes a great dj, but i just dont think it sounds good playing stuff at that speed. It takes so much away from the tune. I mean why produce tunes at 170 if your gonna play em at 180+ ????
I like fast but i think things are going a little over the top. Like this macho thing going on. Who can play the fastest. Sorry but i ent too keen o it. Just my oppinion though

Well some people just like it faster :)
I'm sure there's plenty of people who would say you play too slow ;) In the end though it's all about what you want to do isn't it? I personally think EP stuff has more impact slower, but a lot of other tunes sounds great going *very* fast :D
It's not really a macho thing.. I'm not gonna feel some great sense of achivement if I mix my hardcore at +50 pitch (but hmmm.. does give me an idea :D). I'm not gonna feel like a big man or anything.
You just start the record off, and if it sounds too slow *to you* then speed it up.... it's all about the personal touch :)

Just a matter of opinion, isn't it? I happen to like my hardcore a bit faster. It's nothing to do with being more "macho" than anyone. I just like it that way.

on most dekz (sept if uv got ***** mint 1z) wen u speed a record up ur changin the pitch. wen u speed a record up ur increasin the pitch and there4 make the record sound less bassy. anyways wen the beat is 2 fast u carnt feel it (i mean u need 2 dance 2 it dont ya) but 2 slow is just pathetic so id say bout + 2/3 oh yeah, anova fing is dat records start off at different speeds so just sayin +woteva kinda means fuk all so we need 2 deal in BPM

i will sometimes hit my 44s to 33 for a second to let the trancey part build heavy. its probably runnin around135 to 140 then i hit the shifter when the beat kicks for that extra oomph bangin back at 170 to 185

for me... it's not about bpm's. i listen to euro trance (bout 145) and hard trance (155-160), just fine. i'm not a freak of nature who NEEDS music at 190+bpm. personally, i like the way a hardcore track sounds when it's on +7 or +8 (of course not all tracks, but most), doesn't matter if it was written at 165bpm or 180. to my ears, it adds more energy to the track.

Yes i can see what you mean actually bout it sounding good at that speed. There are a lot of tunes that do sound better at fast speeds. I think i have been plaing a lot of Raver Baby / EP stuff lately and i gues that just sounds better slower to me. So yes i gues it is just down to feel and whjat sounds best to you.

yeah, i guess its all down 2 personal taste and how u feel on the day.
but i fink that just cuz a tune is played quicker dusnt mean that it rokz more. and lets face it the whole thing about hardcore is 2 dance 2 it and wen a beat is 2 fast it carnt b danced 2.
i know its not hardcore but duz any1 know that tune called Insomnia by Faithless? cuz that goes ded slow but it mint 4 dancin 2

yea... i'm not saying that songs DO, in fact, sound better pitched up and that the original speed of the track sucks. to me, it just sounds better and i really like how it sounds so that's why i play faster. and it's really funny that when i play on non-pitched up, or unmodified, decks (that only go up to +8), people always comment on me playing a "slow" set.
