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 LE will allow you to monitor either Deck on headphones, 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 LE features a Database for cataloging and searching tracks. It will monitor your favorite folders and allow you to create playlists for future performances.

Effect Racks

Effects are a great way for you to manipulate (or mangle) your music in unique ways to enhance your mix. Torq LE has three built-in effects that are specifically designed for DJ use: dual filter, phaser, and strobe. You can use these three effects on each Deck.

Master Module

When all is tweaked and mixed to perfection, the resultant audio is sent to the Master Output. Torq LE features an automatic output limiter that will keep your music from distorting as well as a module for recording the final mix to a file as you play. You can then burn the results onto a CD or convert them to MP3 for podcasts.
