DJing begins wit h music, so you will get to know Torq’s Decks very well. A

Deck is what Torq uses to play back a single dig ital music le and is analogous

to the turntable or CD player used by DJs. The Deck al lows you to play a track,

change its speed and its key, as well as rearrange it by looping and jumping to new

locations w ithin the song. Torq is equipped with two of these D ecks—one on

each side of the screen.

Main Waveform Display

One of the wonderful b enets of compu ter technology is the ability to visualize audio. While bein g interesting to the eyes

in their own right, waveform displays can be an invaluable tool when DJing. Torq’s user in terface is domin ated by two such

waveforms at the top- center of the screen, one correspondin g to each of the Decks. Use these scrolling waveforms to check

the synchronization of tr acks, locate sounds, predict breakdown s, and much more.
