I'm coming across more and more sample packs (with supplementary MIDI files) using tempos 130 and beyond. Now I know the concept behind 'double-time', i.e. 130 can in fact be 65, but what exactly is the point behind it?
If I'm making a beat and send it off to an engineer to professionally mix it, what would they be expecting? a 70BPM song or a 140BPM song (recorded at 140, but intended as 70). All I've really seen on this subject is that it makes things like hi-hat rolls easier to make. Surely that can't be the sole reason for it? I would have thought It'd have been less agro to record at say 70 as you need less bars in the playlist.
