Torq 2.0 User Guide
Best Practices
Aside from the troubleshooting tips above, there are a few other things you can adopt as common practice to
make sure your DJ sets go off without a hitch:
Always Carry Extra Control Vinyl
DJ's typically take more music to a gig than they would ever play-they do this so that they are prepared for any
eventuality that could arise. That same logic suggests that you should take multiple copies of control vinyl
with you to the gig so you are similarly prepared for any event that could damage the records. It's wise to start
the gig with at least two copies of the control vinyl per turntable.
Use Both Sides of the Control Vinyl
While the control signals are technically different on the two sides of the Control Vinyl, Torq will treat them
the same. Therefore, try to use both sides of the record to help distribute wear by flipping them over every
other song.
Keep Your Hands Clean
As mentioned earlier, the sweat and oils on your fingers will attract dust and dirt to the record's surface. This
isn't as noticeable a problem when changing records every song like a traditional DJ, but when using the same
records over and over again all night, the problem pronounces itself much more quickly. This is aggravated
even more if you're continually drinking from dirty bar glasses and bottles or snacking on foods. A clean towel
and wet wipes are good to use regularly so you're not inadvertently transferring junk to your records.
