Master tempo is a good effect but sucks for its intended purpose 
It works fine for acapellas and pure melody tracks but it absolutely destroys drums.
It's great to combine with 50% pitch range and do that trippy super-slowdown though. (Just don't overuse it!) |

Master tempo is really handy if you are mixing harmonically. You should understand that different decks (and software) have different quality algorithms. Also, master tempo performs differently when you are pitching up vs pitching down. With CDs, pitching up on master tempo removes frames whereas pitching down synthesizes new frames (based on existing audio data). As a result, you can pitch up more than you can pitch down before encountering noise artifacts and other problems.
I always mix using master tempo within a 2 or 3 BPM range. I also pitch tracks up, not down, regardless of whether it is the incoming track or the track already playing out on the system. End result is super-smooth harmonic mixing with no artifacts.

It can also come handy if you want the fatboy slim effect,
Using the wide pitch to slow the track down about 90-99% with the master tempo turned on

The problem is that when you pitch up, sometimes the master tempo "eats" the beginning of a kick drum (for example). It also makes some of the melodic content sound "warbly". |
