After 12 years af regular DJ'ing I decided to buy the complete Conectiv/Torq package. I love my real vinyls but digital is the future and with this system I can combine both worlds. I can play my real vinyls at anytime and use my laptop as a host for my downloaded files and my own productions (that last thing is such a great thing to do). I run Torq on an Asus Notebook with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 processor with 2 GB RAM onboard and it works flawless. Just like the real thing. Torq also includes effects and midi control options. And the price is good too. I don't care if the box looks cheap. Give it a try!

I think all things like Torq, Traktor,..etc....are not a professional way to dj.....my opinion is that these programs are for real newbies for beatmatch and mix practicing...!!!

All those programs simulate real mixing. The only difference is that audio records aren't needed. I have a feeling you've never used any one of them - you'd know otherwise.

Well "I think" you're a fucking idiot. Sorry, but what you said oozes nothing but exuberant ignorance. You obviously do not have any idea whatsoever what "professional" djing is, how it's done and more importantly - what those applications actually do and how they are used.

"buuuut it's just my opiniooon! don't be a hater!"
well - go learn about some of the stuff you've preemptively commented on. your opinion will change. either that or you're a stubborn fck that got used to playing allowance-fund records in mommies' basement. which can be respected if admitted, but still doesn't validate the things you've said in your post :)

They don't even have to "simulate"... they simply allow "real mixing". That's why nearly every professional is using it now... all that power and all them records.... in one laptop bag. Sorry to all the stubborn folks who think vinyl is the only "real" way to dj.... There is a better way now!

fck you - can you not see that I was backing you up / agreeing on that one?

using traktor as an example -
you can use it to simulate sh!t or you can just pipe it all through outputs and run it through a real world mixer and use your decks and do actual physical mixing instead of simulating it all on screen.

both options are nice
