I don't notice "severe" leaps.... not that I doubt you. I'm just surprised. Where in the songs are you talking about?
if you mix numbers (german version), you have to put your finger to the plate to slow it down for a 1/4 sec, because the beat starts too early. the main track has the same speed like the counting in the beginning, but the gap (pause) between the counting and the first basssound is too small. the same with ´it´s more fun to compute´ (german version): you mix it in, the computer sings ´it´s more fun to compute´ four times, then the interlude with enhanced basssound, again the computervoice and then you have to put your finger to the record to slow it down for 1/4 sec, because the psycadelic sequence starts too early. if you (or at least if I (perhaps i mix that bad)) mix tour de france you always have to push to and pull fro the beatshifter of the mkII because the verse (with ralf singing) has a little different speed than the interludes with the bicycle sounds. if you think of kw working in the studio recording several takes for the songs and afterward cutting the recording tape and glue the bits together again to finish the song and giving it structure, then it makes sense what i say. i mean they were not pushing a button and the whole song went out of the machines, it´s a lot of afterproduction and cutting in their songs.
stay tuned NUC2001
