DJing begins with music, so you will get to know Torq’s Decks very well. A
Deck is what Torq uses to play back a single digital music le and is analogous
to the turntable or CD player used by DJs. The Deck allows you to play a track,
change its speed and its key, as well as rearrange it by looping and jumping to new
locations within the song. Torq is equipped with two of these Decks—one on
each side of the screen.
Main Waveform Display
One of the wonderful benets of computer technology is the ability to visualize audio. While being interesting to the eyes
in their own right, waveform displays can be an invaluable tool when DJing. Torq’s user interface is dominated by two such
waveforms at the top-center of the screen, one corresponding to each of the Decks. Use these scrolling waveforms to check
the synchronization of tracks, locate sounds, predict breakdowns, and much more.
