[dj_soo]

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...Pack-main.html

M-Audio Conectiv - 4x4 USB 16bit 48khz sound card
M-Audio Torq - Professional DJ mixing software - mix with or without vinyl controllers
2x Torq Timecode vinyl
2x Torq Timecode CDs

1 month old - barely used.

Selling because I decided to upgrade to Serato but this is a great digital controller solution with some pretty sweet bells and whistles...

- Use your laptop as an effects unit (even with your vinyl) - just connect a midi controller and you have access to a ton of cool effects
- built-in sampler/looper
- re-wire into Ableton and mix tracks with your own Live sets
- utilize Amutate mode and mix live on just one turntable

Compatable with Mac OSX and Windows XP

$300 firm.

PM me offers plz

I'll give you 2 peso's and ^This guy???? Sound like a deal?

upgrading to serato??

this is way better than serato man.. you can play vinyl and mp3s without having to unplug the turntable!

plus serato takes WAY longer to load the tracks.

meh, torq would be great if all i was doing was mixing mp3s or spinning namely one genre or doing a lot of live-pa type stuff or playing mainly electronic, but it's not that great for hiphop and multi-genre stuff. I have no doubt that it'll get better with the next several updates, but for me Serato works better for my djing style.

[Pegasus]

ah fair enough..

even still im kinda interested..

do u know if u can use torq exponent instead of the connectiv?

[dj_soo]

^ I think you can use any 4x4 audio card with Torq, you just have to have Conectiv attatched at all times (sort of a great big dongle).

If you're interested and want to see it in action, let me know - we can work out a demo at my place or something.

There are definitely things about Torq that I think work better than Serato... and there are a ton of great features on Torq that would probably make it very desirable to most (the fx come to mind - not a huge deal for me cause i have an external unit but they are pretty damn cool). For me, I actually have a couple of out of town gigs coming up really soon and i would rather just bring a small bag of records and a laptop than a big crate or two - so I'd rather have a tried-and-true program than a 1st gen program with a lot of potential but a couple kinks to work out (there's already talk of an update in the next 2 or 3 months).

[scue]

so what exactly do the big knobs on the connectiv do?

and what are the split and bypass buttons for?

if you have time.. thanks

[dj_soo]

Big knobs switch between MP3s and Vinyl - there's 2 ways to switch - one is manually on the box and the other is within the program. Split and bypass buttons are used when you're using Torq in internal mode and want to be mixing tunes without any decks of any kind.

yeah, if you have 4 turntables..

i'm using 2 TTX's.. they have line level output.

and as far as i know from using serato, if you're playing mp3's back and forth, then you put on a regular vinyl record, it'll sound fucked up.
and you'd have to unplug the turntable from serato, unplug the corresponding channel rca's on the mixer, then plug the turntable directly into the mixer.

is this not correct?

[mekim]

basically, you're totally fucking wrong.

[mekim]

but, seriously, so wrong i want to say it again.

[Pegasus]

ok.. i was misinformed.. i don't own it so dont blame me :P

the guy that has it doesnt have enough rca cables, thats why he couldnt do it..

my bad

[Pegasus]

mekim: real mature

[dj_soo]

yea, you're totally wrong.

you can switch from vinyl to digital at the flick of a switch.

[Pegasus]

heh yea. i know that now :P

i asked him about that last night.. lol

[mekim]

pegasus, so wrong.

[dj_soo]

does your buddy know that RCA cables are like $5 a pop?

[Goodfellow]

I heard you can't switch between vinyl and mp3 without unplugging the cables, is this true?

[dj_soo]

sold...

lol read the whole thread before you post.

[Moon]

i didn't know you had to unplug the turntable cables? confused....

as for my serato setup, the cables have not moved once when changing from vinyl to mp3. just a simple flick of a switch to move from line to phono and vice versa

[lofi]

all analog to digital based dj in/out boxes have phono and line inputs incl. connectiv, no unplugging neccesary. also you can use any controller you wish with the program(i use a trigger finger) all controls can be mapped,as well vst filters can be used.
