Swing DJs don't muck with the sound when we play for dancing. We typically leave the tips and tails alone (we don't cross-fade, we don't beat match).
So the only time we slow down is for teaching (and then the preference is still to find a song of the right speed to teach too ... but sometimes students aren't ready for the track you picked and you have to move quickly). In those circumstances, we're willing to give up a little sound quality for continuity of the class. But on the weekend I'll pull out my desk and see how "bad" the pitch correction really is. Now that I've read how those pitch correction algorithms work, you're right ... they should have a hard time on sharp transients ... but I don't remember that. Of course, a rarely used trick may not be well remembered ... -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20484 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
