DECKS

W
hen DJing, everything begins with the Decks.
The Decks will play the music that you'll mix
and effect using all the tools in Torq. Traditionally, a
DJ's decks will be turntables or CD players. Therefore,
the Decks in Torq have been designed to emulate both
turntables and CD players, as well as offering a special
hybrid mode only possible with software.

Displays

Each Deck has various informational displays
throughout the interface. These are mostly for
relaying information to you, such as which song is
playing, how long it's been playing, and how much time
is remaining.

Song Name

At the top of the Deck is the name of the current
song. The name is taken from the song category
(seen in the File List). If there is no song name
listed in the File List, the name of the actual file
will be shown instead.

Artist Name

Below the Song Name is the Artist Name. Like
the Song Name, above, this field will be empty
if there is no entry in the Artist category of the
file.

Time Elapsed

This is the current location of the song, marked
by the yellow Current Position Marker in the
Overview Waveform Display. The Time Elapsed is expressed in hours/minutes/
seconds/frames (30 fps). When the Current Position Marker is at the beginning of
the song, the Time Elapsed will be 0:0:0.0.

Time Remain

This field indicates how much time is left before the song ends. At the beginning
of the song, the Time Remaining will be the same as the entire length of the song.
When the Deck is playing, the Time Remaining will count down.
Note: The Overview and Scrolling Waveform displays will begin to flash red when there is
less than 30 seconds remaining in the song. This is to notify you that you'd better get ready
with another song to play!
