Question for those that use CD decks

do you guys use the feature that keeps the key of the song the same no matter what you have your pitch % to?
with Pioneer the feature is called 'Master Tempo'
with Denon gear its called 'Key Adjust'
Ive owned a Denon DN-D9000 and I currently own a pair of CDJ800s... I used to use the key adjust for pretty much every track, but now I've stopped. I find that with tracks where you go above about +/-4% the track becomes too distorted.
what do you guys do? |

It has a habit of killing the energy of the song as it's doing things with the signal. It basically gives the effect of frequency dependent phase shifting. You get a similar thing when you record something onto a cassette and it's all because you tend to loose the extreme frequenceis of high and low and phase shifting between the ones you do get.
You could theoretically sort it out once the mix session was finished by mastering it but you need the knowhow and the right equipment to do that. Also it's not practical to master if it's live for obvious reasons.
It's better to know your tracks harmonically and work around it that way.

| on the stanton str8-100s they have a restore key thing, problem is you get a double beat on anything over 4% pitch shift |
