for fellow torq users who dont know yet...m-audio has released torq 1.5

great update...the addition of tempo anchors (just like ableton warp markers), elastique time stretching, midi clock...great additions, just to name a few. could possibly compete with traktor imo, but knowing m-audio, they're going to half ass the marketing and it'll lay in the dust at some point in the future.

Ah I've been away from the computer for a few days... finally! Can't wait to download this and get going with it.

What exactly is the deal with Torq? What does it do that Traktor doesn't do already?

Check torq-dj.com. They explain the update in detail. This is a huge one. The only advantage traktor has off the top of my head is 4 deck support.

wow already! nicely done even though it was delayed like a year, haha

I really need to get a mixer with midi control to use with torq

you dont need a mixer with midi control to use torq.. most of the stuff you can do via external control. i personally have a trigger finger which is great for torq

I have been loving me some 1.5. Tempo anchors, and daisy chaining the effects have been some of my favorites thus far. Also to the above poster, I use a trigger finger as my only midi device, works real well. Unless you got the money and want a mixer with midi assignable features.

HOLY FUCK FINALLY!!!!!

Just installed teh update and wow!!!!! The Elastique timestretch feature is the coolest shit evah!!!!

Pitched Telefon Tel Aviv - You Are The Worst Thing In The World from 115 BPM to 133 BPM... WOW!!!!!! Its about time they used that Abelton technology! No artifacts or anything, smooth tempo adjustments

Autogain is nice but I turned that shit off.... I do really like the quick loop function improvements (Next bar, very nice, perfect loops every time), FX chaining is really cool, GREAT upgrade

Yeah, I'm in the market for a new mixer so I might just do the djm800 or evo 4 route, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting a mixer with effects if I'll just have most of them anyway with torque.

You guys have any torq effect chains you wanna share?

My greatest gripe, the time stretching, is so much better now. Amazing.
