Terminology

To clarify our terminology in EDM and mixes:

Speed Scaling: If both scales of time and speed are changed proportionally, we call this a change in “speed”: the song is played faster and at the same time at a higher pitch. This can be achieved by simply changing the rotational speed of the turntable, or by modifying the sampling rate of a digital media player – while keeping the sampling rate of the audio encoding unchanged.

Tempo Shifting/Time Scaling: Changing the time scale only will be referred to as a “tempo” change: here, the audio is sped up or slowed down without observable changes in pitch.

Pitch Shifting/Frequency Scaling: If only the frequency scale is modified but time is not scaled, this will be called pitch shifting.
