Torq 2 is finally here, and we grabbed a quick demo on the Avid stand at NAMM 2011. For the latest NAMM 2001 DJ news and reviews, check http://www.skratchworx.com
Avid have really stepped up their game with Torq 2.0 - I've been roadtesting it for the last month or so and it's a major improvement to 1.5 - very stable, it looks great and works a treat. Will be playing with it at Ministry of Sound this friday :)
i don't get why everyone keeps saying the GUI is ugly. as an owner of Traktor Scratch, Serato Scratch Live, and now Torq (not to mention Final Scratch, and tester for Mixvibes) i've seen a lot of DVS systems....and i can honestly say it's not a bad looking interface. i'll admit it could use some more color separation but it looks better than SSL by far. toss in the fact that it's completely custom skinnable, it's not even an issue worth pointing out.
TORQ did not work it's bugs correctly. Still crashes! That's why the DJ community is harsh with AVID and Torq. They have great ideas but I don't trust it 100% when I'm playing in a club.
Torq 2 Little 2 Late, I think. It was so cutting edge when Torq first came out, but M-Audio really dropped the ball on staying ahead of the competition with updates. As a result, even Ableton jumped ship.
I know that the demand from the general DJ market wasn't there, but Torq could have been the platform for the rest of us that were ready to push the creativity envelope.
I guess I'll buy the 2.0 update, but I'm not holding my breath, after 1.5 left a bad taste in my mouth. Hope I'm wrong.
how does this compare to traktor pro 2?

I've tested Torq 2 which is a real technological upgrade !
I've been using Torq 1.5 for 2 years with an Xponent and I wouldn't exchange this configuration for any other one but with Torq 2.
I never get why a part of the DJ community was that agressive toward Torq and the Xponent.
OK the look of it is not the most beautiful but in term of efficiency, ease to use and inovation , it's fantastic.
with Torq 2 , it goes to another level up.
