Preferences

This section provides a comprehensive review of the Preferences for Torq. Open the Preferences by clicking the Preferences icon.

NOTE: An additional tab appears on the right side of the Preferences window when certain M-Audio products (such as the Xponent DJ controller) are being used in conjunction with Torq. This tab contains parameters relating specifically to the operation of the connected M‑Audio device. To learn more about the contents of this additional tab, refer to your new hardware’s User Guide.

Audio Tab

This tab houses options relating to the audio interface used with Torq. You’ll select the interface to use, set sampling rates and buffer sizes, and assign the various inputs and outputs. Torq supports ASIO and DirectX protocols on Windows and Core Audio on Mac OS X.

Note: Although Torq will work with a single stereo output audio interface, it is recommended that you use a multiple-output audio interface. The extra outputs allow you to make use of song cueing, i.e. pre-listening to a song on headphones before you mix it.
