Mixer
It’s all in the mix, or so they say, and Torq’s Mixer delivers the goods. The Mixer
takes the audio from the two Decks and gives you control over what can be
heard by means of volume controls, audio equalizers, and a crossfader. Two
Decks and a Mixer: the essential tools for a DJ.
PFL/Headphone Cue
DJs commonly listen to a track on their headphones without letting their audience hear it. This allows them to match the
tempo of the new song to the current one, along with finding the correct starting position for the song. Torq will allow you
to monitor either Deck on headphones, preview music from the Browser, and also features a stereo headphone split normally
reserved for high-quality DJ mixers.
Browser/Database
There is a third ingredient to DJing, and that’s music—lots of music. To help you stay on top of your massive music collection,
Torq features a Database for cataloging and searching tracks. It will monitor your favorite folders and allow you to create
playlists for future performances.
