Scratch test with M-Audio Torq (old notebook) by Turntablog

[MrMgeorge1102]

thanks seems good enough found it for $100 used keep me content till I get a Rane ttm 57sl

[drowzeeRIDDLA]

that "waaaah" noise you get after you release the plate, is that from your table itself? or can you get that noise (effect) on the torq itself while using a Xponent controller?? i really wunna get that noise,.

[Londonmad85]

[enjamez]

Urei 1601s

I have that mixer...

Its amazing...

The track sounds a bit like BOC

[nikko2thep]

yO! I have an old school IBM laptop with an Intel Pentium III processor, 497mhz, and 512mb ram. Will that do!!?? I'm planning on upgrading in the future but for now this is all I got.

[turntablog]

I think it'll run on your computer, but maybe the peformance is not the best, mainly with scratching

[electronicana]

Hey how did you exactly connected with the mixer? I have also attached and knows not how to get it right and connects with the preferences? can you tell me?

[turntablog]

connect both decks to the connectiv audio card inputs (deck1 into input1-2 and deck2 into input2-4) and then the connectiv outputs to the line inputs of your mixer (output1-2 to lineinput1-2 and output 3-4 to lineinput3-4). Check the manual or ask in the torq forums.

[turntablog]

of course you can

[mozerdj]

i have a regular macbook 2.4 i cant use torq????

[MonstaMonk]

what's the name of the artist and song at the beginning of the clip(0-0:25)?

[turntablog]

"Keyo - Arden" (feat. Spanish Fly from triple XXX) taken from the lp "Keyo - Fuego Abierto".

[turntablog]

If it works properly on Powerbook 1.33ghz (single core powerpc). It's quite stable, I haven't seen it crash any time.

Great choice!!

[bbkui]

[turntablog]

you connect the connectiv interfeace to both channels of the mixer, so it's the same than with a normal turntables setup, anyway you can use the headphones via the connectiv interface that has the posibility to split both channels into your headphones.

[reggiereg1]

are you able to listen to each side in the headphones like on a mixer

[lakayken8]

what songs are this..the one that playing and the one ur scratching

[turntablog]

search beneath this comment, your question is answered in the comments

[javy125]

I have used this program at the club and it works perfect

[turntablog]

check the updated video we've just uploaded

[robox562]

yo im thinking of getting torq and i wanna be able to use it with my technics.. can you please tell me which torq i need to get to this.. thanks

[franuba]

this works with any turntable

[robox562]

um yeah i know it works with any turntable... but im saying.. which device would i need to get this to work.

[djdej]

M-Audio's Torq Connectiv

[OneMixDJ]

Question: How old is the notebook you're using? Can you tell me the processor? I have a old Toshiba Tecra with a P2 processor that I'm rebuilding and I'm wondering if Torq will work on it? Thanks!

[turntablog]

Yes it was mentioned already, thanks anyway.

[bbkui]

wow ~ what beat is that ?

[kslikk]

The beat he's scratching over?

Souls of Mischief - "93 'til infinity"

A HUGE CLASSIC!!! i'm pretty sure someone mentioned it already, in here

[turntablog]

I've just bought torq, so I'm testing it deeper. No hangs or lags with my PB g4 12''.

But..a little sticker lag when using relative mode. When scratching it's no so noticeable, but a more when you're juggling. I'll have to download the latest version and ask M-Audio if the sticker lag still occurs.

[cliqcreation]

TORQ is definitely off the hook! I did a 2 hour set last night playing the best of hip hop - yes! souls of mischief included!. Had the torq, turntables and MPD24...no lagging, no problems! nothing! Scratching becomes more interesting with TORQ! Functions are limitless :)- WICKED!

[turntablog]

I didn't replace the crossfader, It's the Alpha Cross that's set in this mixer originally.

[MrsHeretic]

did you replace the stock fader on the urie 1601s?

[electricsoulbeats]

nice cutting come check out my vid we have simular styles

[haarenharry]

do ya use the M audio Connectiv Audio IO?

Or do ya have a different one?

what do you advise..? -=Dj Nutter=-

[turntablog]

If you whath carefully the bottom-right corner of the video you'll see the sound card I'm using. Of course is M-Audio Conectiv, because I didn't mention I was using any other card. I think that Torq only runs if Conectiv is Plugged, so I think It won't work with a different sound card.

[turntablog]

The track...

Artist: Souls of Mischief

Album: 93 'Til Infinity

Song: 93 'Til Infinity

Probably best rap album ever!!

[dmc081]

i use virtual dj

[IntelInside2020]

pity for you

[manzies12]

what track are you scratching to?

[turntablog]

so in each transition you get a 0 speed caused by acceleration (positive and negative) so the program may miss some marks when velocity is in a range close to zero (due to volume or amount of time between read marks)

[turntablog]

Then I think that this sticker drift exists, and the more you skratch the more is beeing shifted, and i think this is due to changing directions movement...in each baby there are 2 transitions in the direction (forward-backward and backward-forward)

[turntablog]

In another video that I recorded about drags, I did them very slow so I noticed that sticker drift, when the record is moved very slowly the software doesn't detect the movement (people say its a volume problem, but I think it's a problem about acquiring "timecode marks" and the distance between them (the slower you move the later is acquired/read the next "mark", so if moving too slow I think the software ignores the marks))...

[Mackaveli420]

it looks like the sticker drift was MAJOR. can you confirm this?

[turntablog]

NO LAGS, NO CLICKS, NO HANGS ever noticed during the time I used it.

[Alkitec]

Quick question, I just picked up Torq, and not sure how to go about getting back to scratching, all my breakbeat stuff with the "fresh" etc... sounds is on traditional vinyl, so did you have to download effects or something?

[turntablog]

You'll have to rip/record your vinyls (or download samples from the internet), but this is quite easy and you got conectiv to do it.

Download Audacity (it's free and open) or use any other recording software you know, connect your mixer output to a conectiv input and set that conectiv's channel (in) in the audacity preferences for recording device.

The samples are not included with the software :)

[turntablog]

Anyway there's a quickskratch function in this software that allows you to have your scratch samples loaded in a "different track" so you can access them quite fast.

[hbomb8008]

turntablog,

Do you have any problems with latency, start up or hanging with such low amount of ram on a laptop? Do you use it for gigs?

[turntablog]

This notebook is about 4-5 years old, and has only 480mb ram (32mb are shared for the video ram, the video card is quite a fool), and processor is amd XP 1600 (i think it works at 800-1000mhz speed).

[turntablog]

It works perfectly, i've never noticed a click or lag, though i haven´t used it a lot coz it isn´t mine but i have no argues from anybody on this software. I never thought it would run so well (i cannot notice any latency, so i supose is quite low).

[CCPoorductions]

93 TIL YEYEEEEE

fuckin my favorite song ever, this is bookmarked.

sick scratching too, keep it up.

[turntablog]

For the people who don't know what I'm doing I explain It, I'm doing some basic skratching tricks:

1- babys

2- stabs

3- transformers

4- tears

5- chirps

Sure it's a nice buy

6- 1-click flares

7- crabs

[turntablog]

and 8- Drags

[Fablus22]

cool , i´ll buy that

[BznazE]

93 til Infinity , Real hiphop ..ChiiiLLiiN

[turntablog]

best album ever man :)
