Torq Engine

This preference chooses the quality leve l of Torq’s audio engine. Normal is the default setting and should be u sed if you

experience no performance proble ms. Economy is the second option and should only be used i f using a slow computer.

When Economy is selected, the quali ty of the resampling and EQ algorithms will b e reduced thus lessening the CPU load.

Timestretching Quality

This preference chooses the type of Time -stretching to be used by Torq. The various time-s tretching methods will create

different CPU loads:

• Standard: This is Torq’s default time-stretchi ng algorithm and creates a very low CPU load. It i s suitable for

making small changes in Key or Speed, but d rastic changes will yield audio art ifacts.

• Elastique: This mode employs the El astique algorithm designed by zPlane . This algorithm will create a greater

CPU load, but the audio quality wil l be much higher. This algorithm is better suited for mak ing more drastic

changes to pitch and key and yields very few audi o artifacts. This is the preferred a lgorithm if you have a fast

computer.

Auto Gain

When this preference is set to Yes, Torq will automatically set th e Gain Knob to a position that brings the volume o f a

song up to 0dB RMS whenever a new one is loaded ont o a Deck. This will ensure that the volumes of your tr acks are

matched well before doing a mix.

Audio Interface

This preference allows you to select an audio inte rface for Torq.

1. Click the Audio Interface box.

2. A menu will be displayed, listing all audio int erfaces currently connected to your com puter.

3. Select the audio interface you want to use wit h Torq.

Sample Rate

Below the Audio Interface selec tion you will see sample rate adjustment . Increasing this value will improve sound quali ty

(depending on your source material) but will also pla ce heavier demands on your computer. It is therefore recommende d

to leave the sample rate only as high as you need i t to be. If you only play MP3 ﬁles or songs from CDs, you won’t really

have any reason to raise this value beyond 44,100 since th at is the sampling rate used by MP3s and CDs
