DJF Junglists, need to pick your brain!
I've just finished recording a project I've been working on and recorded it sticking to an 88.8 (177.6) BPM tempo (I'm a lil OCD lol). I uploaded it to SoundCloud as a private track for testing and gave it a listen on my Jaybirds. Everything sounds great. Then I get home after work yesterday and tried giving it another run on the Samsung sound bar + Sub. I might be high but, it kind of seems like the sounds are being stretched.. like taking an 85 (170) bpm track and speeding it up to 88 (176)... that phasing, dragging, sound. I believe most, if not all, the tracks in the mix are within the 86 (172) - 87.5 (175) range so I don't expect there to be too much stretching, but I'm still what you call "green" so by all means lemme know if I'm being stupid with that expectation. I've seen people DJ live at 89 (178) - 90 (180) BPM with the sound being crystal clear though, so is it just because it is a recording? Or what are the variables here? Is it due to the device I'm listening to the mix through? Or is it simply just too fast? Please, any guidance would mean a lot. Thanks!
Also, I would love to know what BPM ranges you prefer to record and play live at and why.
(PS: This was recorded using a DDJ-SX, MBP and Serato internal recording software)
Thanks again folks.
