At the end of the day, right now there are guys who can play amazing sets on vinyl, CDJ's, FS, SSL, Traktor, Ableton, and with other assorted devices/software. Just because DJ's are learning to speak to you in a different language than you're used to, doesn't mean what he has to say is any less valid. It's the message that counts.

BUT, since I have thousands of tracks that need to be warped in order to play then Ableton just isn't gonna cut it.

I have done sets with Ableton, but in the end it was more work for the same end result.

I know use Ableton to make tracks and remixes.

I have been using torq for a week now and I love the browser and the fact that I can just pick a track and play it and not have to worry about the pre production.


Strange I can do Ableton sets on the fly if I need to with unwarped tracks. Takes about 10 seconds to warp em properly.

So, I'm kind of sad. After a week of having Torq, I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. But I'm looking at about 500 vinyls here, and I have no reason for them anymore. That was a lot of money I spent on those!

Anyone looking for used Hip-Hop records?

You can still use them.. i like swapping between serato and the vinyl's i do own.. It's like going old school again while being able to mix any song into that song i had on vinyl ages back

10 seconds? Come on... sure it takes that to move warp marker 1 in place, but I like to create a 16 bar loop and go through through the WHOLE track making little adjustments, then back again. And I warp against a common kick beat I always use, hard to do that live.

How do you do it?

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say my method is way better than yours. Sure I was exaggerating saying 10 seconds but definitely under a minute for sure most likely around 20-30 seconds.

All you have to do is load the track. Hit warp, manually enter the correct BPM, line up the first marker then go the the end of the track (this is what takes the longest waiting for ableton to process all the way to the end of the track)and line up the last beat but don't set it as a warp marker (leave it gray not green).

I dunno, that seems prone to error. I mean ableton doesn't ALWAYS get it right... don't you still want to check it?

Still pretty similar to what I do, I just check the match against the kick... then I KNOW it's warped right.

Certainly beats the old way of manually warping the whole damn track though.

The real time consuming part of ableton is breaking up those tracks into nice useful loops.

For someone with a huge music collection, it can be daunting. But as long as you start doing it over time, it's not so bad.

to many pages on this thread to read through so can someone give me any advice.

i was going to buy SS but think it is too expensive and now i'm really interested in buying Conectiv. Is this for me???

i have a laptop 1.7ghz pentium M with 1GB ram. will it run on this setup?

also, i don't really care for using it live. i simply want to use mp3s through vinyl and maybe add a few effects. i mix house and dnb and very little turntablism stuff.

any advice appreciated...

Yea, warping is real quick, as quick as setting up the tempo of a track if you know what you're doing, and doing it like Zild does, it's easy.
