Keylock
Q. How do I change the speed/tempo of the song without changing its pitch?
To be able to change the speed/tempo of the song without it audibly affecting the pitch (So that it sounds like Mickey Mouse or Barry White), you will need to enable key lock.
To do this, simply click on the padlock icon above the pitch sliders on the default VirtualDJ 7 skin. This is clearly marked with the word KEYLOCK.
If you are using a MIDI controller, then this may also have dedicated buttons to toggle keylock. These will usually be marked with a padlock symbol, the word KEYLOCK or MASTER TEMPO.
For best sound quality, please ensure that you have high quality master tempo algorithm selected in CONFIG -> Performances.
