Unless you want to use ableton don't move to torg. Check the Computer Music review they explain why for the serious dj there are much better vinyl emulation timecode systems out there.

This shit grinds my gears every damn time. Torq is an M-Audio product. M-Audio is a business unit of Avid. Pro Tools is an Avid product. You're saying that Serato, which simply produced a plug-in for Pro Tools, is better than the company that produced Pro Tools itself.

Originally posted by pointer Lots of options - and good ones at that. Its a good time to be a DJ, but don't denigrate unnecessarily, IMO. Honestly, I bet you haven't even used Torq - I'd trust people that have had hands on experience with the tools before listening to someone spout off without any hands on experience. I've used them all ('cept for Traktor Scratch because it is so new - but I used Final Scratch/Traktor long enough to have developed an opinion about that).... rob.

good advice. when i was in the market for vinyl emulation...i tested what was out at the time, which was torq and serrato. everybody and their mother talked about how great serrato was, but until i tried it out, i thought it was the best bet. after i had tried it out, i honestly felt that serrato wasnt all that it was cracked up to be. i hated the interface, didnt like the color waveforms, and i just didnt really like how it felt. everybody is different, and especially with all this software, you can't go on people's reviews alone. you really need to try them out if you can. one is not truly better than the other. its just like a never ending debating between vinyl & cds, ableton & whatever, etc...

as pointer said, it is a good time to be a dj. but before you go spend your cash on something, you have to remember, every product is going to have fanboys that will say you should get a certain product, but your not them...you need to see whats best for you.

my .02

if i had a laptop i think i'd go out and buy torq. i don't think i could justify spending around 600€ for either serato or traktor scratch. the torq box looks cheap as fuck though, but if it works, then it's good enough for me. too bad i don't have a laptop and i'm not looking to buy one either.
