SNAPSHOTS

By now, you’ve surely noticed that Torq has many features designed to make DJing

easier. Automatic tempo-detect ion and beat-matching allow you, the DJ, to s pend your

time doing other things rather th an manually keeping two tracks in sync . For example,

you can remix the song using loops and QuickCues , tweak the sound using effects and

EQ, and add samples to the mix. The sheer qua ntity of options available to you easily

exceeds the number of ﬁngers you have on your hands, so con trolling all these features

simultaneously can become a challe nge. Torq’s innovative Snapshot system allows you

to overcome these obstacles by allowing you to per form multiple tasks with the simp le

push of a button

or two.

A Snapshot is very much like it sounds— a virtual picture of settings w ithin Torq. You

can conﬁgure the controls and effect s in Torq as you like, then save all those settings

in a Snapshot that you can recall inst antaneously. Torq enables you to make a virtually

unlimited list of Snapshots, all w ith unique control parameters, and sor t them in the

Snapshot list—this list b ecomes an arsenal of your best tricks, wh ich you can use at any

time.

Snapshot List

If you press the Tab key on your keyboard or click the Camera tab , the Database

and Browser will be replaced with the Sna pshot List. The list has multiple colum ns, like

the File List, and each row represent s one Snapshot. Press the Tab key again (or click the

Browser tab) to return to the Database and B rowser.

Creating a Snapshot

To create a new Snapshot, simply click the New Sna pshot button above the Snapshot

list or the New Snapshot button loc ated in Torq’s Toolbar. Torq will immediately create

a new Snapshot entry and the name wi ll be highlighted so that you can type in a proper

name for the Snapshot. Type in something you can re member and press Enter. You can

always rename the Snapshot by double -clicking its name and typing in a new on e.
