Here's a small list of DJs that use Serato, or have used it until they decided to remix live. I still haven't seen a professional DJ use Torq, or seen a club with a Torq install.

Paul Van Dyk
Sasha
Deep Dish
DJ Am
MSTRKFT
Tommy Lee
Benny Benassi
Pete Tong
Max Graham
Satoshi Tommie

um....thats because serato came out before torq and they started using serato before torq came out. do you see the correlation here?

really the only con torq has compared with serato is the build quality. but it has sooooo much more in terms of features. if you plan on smashing your interface around then get serato it might last longer.

I hear this all the time but I think one's just as equally potentially screwed if you were to drop either box.

I gig all the time with Torq. I chuck the Conectiv in my bag, let it roast in the Miami sun, have sand get all over it, and it just keeps on chuggin, plastic or not.

I just did an 11 hour gig today for the paintball store i work at... i have a crap DELL, and serato didn't fail me... i was kinda surprised my laptop survived tho!

yeah one thing about serato is that it takes very little CPU, while torq can hog it if you have all the vsts running and effects.

That's bc Serato doesn't support VSTs or effects. :toothless

even with nothing going on torq it takes up more cpu.

Sometimes Torq uses no resources because it didn't work right and now you're using your old records.
