11.25.12 | have you tested any other records lately to see if it's not the record player acting up? otherwise you may just have a bad copy. |

11.25.12 | I spun some records before hand and they sounded fine. I played Slow Riot by GY!BE and that record plays at two different speeds. |
SCREAM!
11.25.12 | If it's higher pitched your record player might be spinning too fast |
SCREAM!
11.25.12 | oh well in that case it must be the album I guess |
Spec
11.26.12 | Spinning too fast. |
WeepingBanana
11.26.12 | does your record player have and slower settings? |
mrbloke
11.26.12 | It's spinning at 33 RPMs. That's the slowest speed possible. |
SCREAM!
11.26.12 | Yeah but something could be wrong with the mechanism and making its speed slightly faster than 33 even though you have it set that way |
WeepingBanana
11.26.12 | jizz in the grooves of your records. that'll slow 'em down |
mrbloke
11.26.12 | It's strange though cuz the vocal samples sound normal but the music is pitched up.

11.26.12 | could be a remix or somethng where they upped the tempo of the music but not the vocals |
mrbloke
11.26.12 | I think my copy of Helplessness Blues is also a bit higher than it's supposed to be. Is there something i can do besides hit the speed dial to slow the record down?

11.26.12 | maybe the vinyl pressing is just different, it'd be best to ask someone who has it on vinyl whether theirs is higher pitched as well. or try it on a different record player if you know somebody else who has one so you can see whether it's a problem with the player or the record itself. |

this might help you figure it out |

11.26.12 | i would look into the jizz thing. |
menawati
11.26.12 | is the turntable direct drive or belt drive, if it's belt drive you can get the belt replaced maybe |
mrbloke
11.26.12 | It's a 70 dollar Zellars USB turntable. It is plugged into the RCA properly and what not but i don't think that makes a diff. |
menawati
11.26.12 | 70 dollars itll prolly cost more to fix it than buy a new one, ye do the jizz thing haha |

11.26.12 | My copy of Centipede Hz sounds too slow and deep (as if the turntable is spinning too slow), whereas every other record I own sounds fine >:( |
