DJ Music

Calculating Pitch is dead easy, but a necessary skill for DJing, whilst some DJs will say that you can adjust pitch of music by ear, it can sometimes be less hassle and simpler to calculate pitch by ear.

simply count the number of beats for 10 seconds, multiply this by 6 and you have the beats per minute, this is what calculating pitch is in a DJing sense.

number of beats in 10 seconds x60 = Beats per minute.

Really however this calculates the tempo of the music or the speed of the beats, why its important for a DJ in terms music and a mix is that when the pitch of a music track is altered, by changing the speed of the rotation, so is the tempo and the beats per minute, both of which directly affect the music when beatmatching
