Offset Buttons

Sometimes when mixing two songs together, you may ﬁnd that the beats are aligned with each other, yet the two songs are still out of phase. This is most obvious when one song is offset by one beat, causing the snare drums of the tracks to be out of alignment. The Offset buttons can be used to correct this. Pressing these buttons will make the Current Song Position jump forward or back by one beat-length.

Note: If you have the Sync Mode set to “Bar” in the Preferences, the Offset buttons will have no effect when the Deck’s Sync button is on. This is because Torq LE will counteract a one-beat offset when set to Bar mode. If you want to offset the music by one beat when Sync is on, you’ll need to offset the Phase Grid, which is explained later in the section titled “Synchronization.”
