Chapter 3 DECKS
W
hen DJing, everything begins with the Decks. The Decks will play the music
that you’ll mix and effect using all the tools in Torq LE. Traditionally, a DJ’s decks
will be turntables or CD players. Therefore, the Decks in Torq have been designed to
emulate both turntables and CD players, as well as offering a special hybrid mode only
possible with software.
Displays
Each Deck has various informational displays throughout the interface. These are
mostly for relaying information to you, such as which song is playing, how long it’s been
playing, and how much time is remaining.
Song Name
At the top of the Deck is the name of the current song. The name is taken from
the song category (seen in the File List). If there is no song name listed in the File
List, the name of the actual file will be shown instead.
Artist Name
Below the Song Name is the Artist Name. Like the Song Name, above, this field
will be empty if there is no entry in the Artist category of the file.
