i know this might sound like a stupid Q but why is it harder to mic at a higher bpm like a mix i just d/l from one topic said its at 185bpm!! :O why is that harder also the tune 'john peel is not enough' talks about it, thanks

Do you mean mix or mic (as in MC)? If you mean mix, well, everyone mix's at different speeds, some fast some slow. Personally I tend to have the records pitched up as I find most hardcore to be recorded too slow for my taste.

It's easier to have perfect beatmatching at slower speeds because you have more time to correct and when it goes off beat it's less noticeable.
However, it's harder to have super smooth mixing at high BPM because you don't have as much time for EQ changes between bars.
Generally, as long as you can beatmatch it's easier to mix at really high BPM because people won't notice bad mixing as much.
I never exceed the 8% range on my turntables so I play at about 180 BPM.

You also get finer resolution on your pitch control at slower speeds.

Most Hardcore Records I buy are about 175 bpm, I find that even beat matching is simple because they are the same speed, I don't dial it up any faster because the vocals get twitchy... De Ja Vu, for me!

yej most hardcore music is around the 170-175 bpm but that means that because they are so fast the slightest miss in bpm say a 174 and a 175 means that they will go out of sync faster then say mixing a 100 and 101 i think
