The primes might be giving us another example of where technology supersedes tradition.
It used to be that if the playing track is 127 bpm then you’d be looking for other tracks that are 127 bpm to mix into. But, Prime gives to us excellent pitch controls and massive pitch ranges. Within reason, we could mix from a track that is 127 bpm, into tracks that are on our hard drives as 66 bpm anyway up to 254 bpm (simpled round offs) - it’s true but acceptance by ourselves and our audiences would make us mainly look to mix a 127 bpm track to tracks who’s bpms are somewhere between 115 to 140 bpm
And with music key, from a year ago, Prime has given to us the ability to make a very high quality key change. So a track that’s on the hard drive as one key, can be played out several keys up or down from the original. Again we would find difficulty accepting wild and wide variations, especially where vocals are present as we don’t want female singers sound like males or male singers sounding like females.
With both of these very high quality reality twisters, parameters which used to be hurdles in search results, aren’t hurdles any more for us.
We need to search by key and bpm much less often than we used to.
