does tempo matter?
when you buy tunes do you care how fast it is? if you do what would you consider to be too slow or too fast?
Re: does tempo matter?
yes, things below 120 i usally dont buy, the same with tracks above 135
the situations where i could play this tracks are just too rare.

it depends on the sound of the tracks when they are pitched very strong.Themis wrote:yes, things below 120 i usally dont buy, the same with tracks above 135

also a track at 135 is maximum to be pitched at 128. how often do you play at 128 ?
i had this issue today with a track.
Re: does tempo matter?
today for example i didn't buy those two releases because the first is two slow and the second to fast..

especially the second could have been nice to use in a set i think but when do you play >130bpm??
on the other hand, i like so much of the stl stuff, but i don't buy so often because the stuff is very very slow.. i wanna spin the stuff i buy and for homelistening purpose i buy much less.. :/

Re: does tempo matter?
hm i would say depending on the atmosphere and time, i can play without a problem on 128.
the thing is most techno tracks at 135 dont sound good pitched down that much, and really slow tracks sound horrible pitched up that much.
of course there are exceptions for example this track
this track sounds really boring to me at the original speed, but pitched up it sounds really good.
the question though is, would i buy it?
i cant tell from samples if a track sounds good pitched up or down. so i wont buy it. maybe after i listend to the track in a club, i buy it later, but from samples a track thats below or at 120 ... must be an exceptional track.

Sometimes I play a warm up set before a big name or I play peak time / morning after in smaller clubs
