I ALWAYS THOUGHT SERATO WAS BETTER BUT NOW MY MATE IS JIVING AT ME TO GET TORQ!?

say what!?

I own Torq

I prefer serato

^^ big up th honesty

6 of one half dozen of another.

It's all preference really. I use Torq because it is more affordable, especially after I got 40% off. I like it quite a lot. But really, it's down to what you feel, they all have similar things & issues. Just make sure that your RC cables, needles, etc are all in fair condition & your computer is fast enough to run it without hiccup & you'll be good.

I got Torq and I'm very happy with it. Much cheaper too.

Torq is ok now (after about 5 software updates)

it was cheap and that is why I bought it instead of traktor scratch or scratch live

the VST Support is also a plus

my main issue is the stock vinyl will only work at 33 rpm (I know about the ms. pinky vinyl, but I havent bought it yet.)

Serato is pretty damn stable and user friendly

Yeah you can't bitch about that anymore. Go buy the mspinky vinyls, very much worth it. There is good and bad to each. The price is the biggest. Serato is way overpriced, Traktor too. I like the way the wave forms being stacked on Torq. You can beatmatch visually if there is no percussion in an intro. It comes in handy believe me. Don't like the way you have to search for tunes in Torq but it can help to arrange the folders themselves. I find Torq to be very stable. Have seen Serato and Traktor crash so it isn't like any of them are rocks. Software will be software. The sound quality may be a tit better in Serato and even better in Traktor but almost imperceptible to my trained ears. I def don't feel the need to "upgrade" I am quite content with Torq. Maybe get Serato vinyl so I could use an existing set up every now and again and save myself some trouble.

just ordered the ms pinky vinly

no more complaining haha

I'm currently using Serato because it came with the 2nd hand 1200s that I bought.. love it and find it very stable. However, I think the next 6 months are going to be a big developmental stage for this side of things.. I'm sitting back and observing.

serato or traktor > torq

BUT WHAT ABOUT INNA CLUB.


cant just walk into a club and play torq..


or can you?

ive seen it loads but ive never had any respect for dj's who use it on its own with no vinyl floating about...

What? Why not? I mean you have to set it up first. None of the clubs I play at have Serato set up either tho.

there is actually one club here that has serato setup and the dj's just bring in their laptop and go

this is the exception and not the norm

can you please tell us why you believe this to be fact?

i've also dj'ed on torq, serato and traktor scratch and to be honest i prefer torq, as i like the software best of all three. still when playing out i prefer vinyl & dubplates as i've had several issues in live-setups with all three systems (as well on pc-notebooks as on macbooks but in the end that's another story) and also realized that i look more onto the monitor as to the audience when using these systems...

Everyone has issues from time to time. I will tell you I have less and less problems the longer I use it. Most of the time because of experience I can diagnose and fix the problem before my first record even drops. If you have the dough to burn on dubplates more power to ya!

can someone confirm serato 2 and 3 use the same software dont they? the hardware is the only difference?

I never understand why people want buy something they have never used. What is it you are actually after?!

I only purchased turntables after using friends for a while.
