Mixing at 70 BPM
Direct mixing: tracks at 70 BPM blend smoothly with anything between 67 and 73 BPM using pitch adjustment.
Half-time and double-time: Halve 70 and you get 35; double it and you get 140. Both are the same pulse counted differently, which is why a track at 35 will drop cleanly under one at 70. In the catalog, 35 BPM sits outside the range we analyse and we hold 18,630 tracks stored at 140 BPM. Work the octave move out.
Energy flow: with 626 high-energy tracks in our catalog, 70 BPM is ideal for warm-up and mid-set grooves.
