thanks for the interest!
In theory it should line up in pitch with my other track on that label as long as you beatmatch them with repitch mode in ableton (or equivalent).
Sorry, hijacking this thread a bit. To get back on track, there is definitely a way for djs to get tracks to work together even if the tempo changes.
If you tune the root frequency of the track to the tempo, it means that all tracks tuned in this way should line up together.
Here's what I wrote a little while ago about it:
I only half understand the formula and theory, and explaining it is gonna be tricky, but anyway...
Basically, the formula:
bpm x quantize/60=freq in hertz
and the other way round is
freq in hz x 60/quantize = bpm
The part which I don't understand is 'quantize'... i guess it's related to note length. I just multiply by 2 until I'm at an audible/danceable destination.
An example, you want the root of your track at 432 hz. The bpm harmonic to it is....
bpm = freq in hz x 60/quantize
bpm = 432 *60/16
bpm = 432 * 3.75
bpm = 1620
errr. confusing part here... but if you divide by 2 a couple of times you get 101.25 bpm, which is 'right' according to the guy who I borrowed this equation from (I couldn't tell you why myself though!).
So in theory if everyone follows this formula, it won't matter what we tune our root notes to. As long as we chose a tempo that we like and use turntables or 'repitch' mode in Ableton (or the equivalent) all will be gravy.
Hooray!
(I'm not in a place to sort all my maths out, but once I am I will post a bit more, and give a tempo and root note that is good for techno and fits in with these natural frequencies.)
