Almost 8 years ago I took a DJ class

A strange DJ mix is still up (January 2014):
www.mixcloud.com/Mmmmaven/mishkastudentmixgoascherbakovlifeforms/
Goa to Goa to Scherbakov to Goa to Ambient to Scherbakov to Ambient (17 min, slowdown in the middle right after the transition from Goa to Ambient at 10+ min, so the first half is fast, Goa-trance-like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_trance, and the second half is all slow, ambient-like, from "Lifeforms" by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future_Sound_of_London)
This was a "midterm exam" - to compose a mix and upload it to a cloud platform. (The final was to actually play something similar at a club mixing it live during a graduation party.)

That was very helpful when selecting the sequence of songs in that mix...

down! (That's rather fantastic, it's counterintuitive that this is at
all possible...)
what this means is that much higher speed ratios relative to
"normal speed" are possible.

I still love this synchronicity...

А софтвер оба трека ещё и визуально показывает, и визуально гораздо легче сводить две записи вместе, чем только по слуху. Так что, в "докомпьютерной" ДиДжеевской реальности мне это было слабо делать, а с компьютерными средствами уже неплохо получалось...
