Hey Everyone! 

Hope you are doing as well as can be. I'm in the midst of designing all the packaging for the new album, Creatures of the Late Afternoon. The idea is to package the 2LP with a "turntable board game." The game uses special tracks cut at the end of each side of the record (not part of the digital album). There will be spaces on the game board that require the players to try some basic dj techniques like backspinning/record juggling, simple scratches, beat-matching etc. 

For the beat-matching part, I've purposefully made some bonus beats at different tempos. But I wanted to make the range (hopefully) within what most people's turntables can manage. So, in the name of some silly research, please give me some tech spec info on your home turntable (if you use one) in the poll below. 

Thank you for your help on this!

This sounds like fun for sure! I have a couple Vestax PDX's with ultra pitch but I selected the +/- 10 % option.
