i personally have Torq..and man does it do the job... especially with the integration of the midi and being able to use ableton with it aswell.. i reallly dont know if serato has it but im sure :S??
anyway..i got torq cuz of the price... im a broke college student :P
it all comes down to trying em out themselves and seeing which is best price wise and function wise ehh |

| depending on your mp3 collections, Serato works really with low quality 128kbps 44khz mp3s while torq is lacking on that. I recall my friend's torq crashed because of bad mp3 file. Serato FTW!!!! Yes I do own a copy of it as well. Never failed on me during a gig. |

One thing that I like about Serato over Torq is that it uses a USB interface (powered) as opposed to firewire (unpowered if I use my laptop, and apparently firewire has hotplugging issues that can result in a fried port). Oh and another thing is Serato's GUI looks much nicer than Torq's, imo. |
Ummm...Torq uses USB. :conf: |

Exactly what I was thinking. Looking at mine right now.
I've used Torq for hours at a time and have had no problems so far. I'm also running it on a 4 year old laptop. |

| Well if your just djing in your bedroom then torq might be fine but if you do gigs i would not be touching it |

I'm going to go ahead and be the third person to ask: why not?
I play a gig every Wednesday with Torq and I have not had a single problem with it. |

James if you really want to know. Just start learning Ableton.
And the whole USB/Firewire argument is really moot if you're thinking about using vinyl control. You are right though about the unpowered firewire interfaces not being as stable as the USB ones though. Like you said Serato has a power adapter you can get instead of running from the laptop. |

Well many reasons.. initially they were having a decent amount of issues including stability issues. Maybe the update helped that.. i dunno.
Also they dont have a track record as a s/w dev company.
If you've really put ur sytem through the work horses and are confident in its stability then be my guest and use it out. Hopefully you wont have any issues.. but i wouldnt recommend it at face value as pro dj sofware at the moment..it just hasnt proven itself.. just my opinion.. plus i read quite a few testimonials of people saying it had potential but didnt live upto expectations, and that they are sticking with ssl. |
