Ok, i recently got screwed by itunes and when i downloaded 9 it lost all my bpm tags, so i have been using Delay Time (on Jesse's Suggestion), and have found that it is a few counts slow. For Example, The 1940 Duke Ellington Recording of Cottontail, the original, should be right at 240, but after ta...

Take consideration the sound system at the venue. It isn't always as kind to older music as your home system. This seems to be one thing Djs always forget. I was at a venue with a particularly good acoustics, and no Sub at all, so all the dancers ever heard was echoing screeching Clarinet or really...

[Answered] For Dancers Also, Les Elgart

Its in the 210 to 220 bpm range, and it sounds like a Lunceford or les brown styling. Lots of horns, no strings. I'm not entirel...

So I've been wondering, have you ever had a DJ play a song that is just so fast, only a select few could even Bal to it? Consequently, what is a proper bpm limit for a song, or is there one? Inversely, I have known alot of DJs at small events to think that slow means the pace of my grandmothers walk...
