Hey all,
So I opened for a pretty huge headliner a year ago now who will remain unnamed and I got the opportunity to watch his DJ'ing up very close. Needless to say, I found out a dirty little secret about how he DJs and was wondering what he used to do it.
Each and every single one of his tracks was 130BPM, so he would just adjust the pitch .8% when doing in any direction tempo wise, so no real "beatmatching" was necessary, he would just change the pitch in increments of .8%. On top of that, he had standardized all of his tracks to be the same volume so no gain adjustments were necessary.
Worst of all, he played like 12 different 5 minute long mashups, but that I don't really care about. It's typical bullshit.
I'm curious to know if he just warped the tracks in Ableton to be 130BPM and what plugin he just to standardize all of the gains without squashing the dynamics of the track?
Do you or anyone you know do this?
