Avid has long been a player in the DJ software market with the introduction of the then M-Audio Torq about 7 years ago. Torq has always been considered one of the most advanced DJ software of the major players in the market. Torq 2.0 takes it to the next level. Avid adds a producers approach to the new software and envisions a more creative approach to a DJ performance beyond anything we have ever used. We gave it a spin in the studio and went deeper down the rabbit hole.
The Basics and Beyond
With Torq software, automatic beat-detection and synchronization are just the beginning. Four full-featured decks—each with EQ, level control, headphone cueing, and crossfade—give you the power to build complex mixes and experiment in brand-new ways. Use the decks to prepare tracks during your set, then drop them into the mix and create dense, layered soundscapes. Tempo Anchors …

I recently had the pleasure of using my Kontrol S4 in tandem with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 with turntables for an awesome gig at Halo Lounge in Atlanta. Here’s my list of why it was so awesome.
1. Easy to hook up
No need for additional gear or accessories. You would normally require an Audio 8 or Audio 10 interface, and multi-core cables or additional RCA cables in order to use Traktor Scratch Pro. Simply plug both turntables directly into inputs C and D and you are ready for action. No sweat.
2. Flexible input options
You can select which decks or sample decks the turntables will control by going into Preferences, then Input Routing. Here you can select either turntable for decks A through D, track play or sample play. Brilliant.
3. Easy to switch back
Use the drop down tab on deck A or B to select track …
