Bpm Transitions

[photojojo]

If there is a full cut of silence that can be the best time to reset the tempo, especially if it's just a small difference of a few percent.

This if there's a long break down with not much of a beat going on it's a real good time to bump the BPM up and you can get away with quite a bit, especially of there's a build up going on anyway.

Also, one of my preferred techniques is to get a long transition on a break down (possibly for a double drop which works AWESOME) where I'll switch the master tempo to the new song and slowly start pulling up the tempo of the older track. This creates a really awesome tempo change that goes great with energy changes on bass lines.

I personally agree. I don't like keylock and 128 - 125, you do loose some magic in the song at its original recording.

I just wouldn't go from 125 to 128 with out manually nudging the 125 up to 126.5 and the 128 track down to 126.5 and meeting in the middle. Once the the 128 track (at 126.5) has been mixed in, i would then nudge speed it up or do on a breakdown or even just at the end of the 8/16 bars as long as there a change in the song itself.

Also, MixedInKey did a great breakdown of when you actually start hearing key changes. I believe it was somewhere around 3.3%. Beyond that the average listener, with no keylock, will barely notice a change, if at all.

And people need more drastic tempo changes. They are for the win.
