Mixer Mode
This option allows you to switch between Internal and External Mixer mode.
Internal Mixer mode: This is the default setting where Torq’s on-screen mixer is used to blend the signals from
the Decks.
External Mixer mode: This will bypass the Torq mixer and route each Deck to its own output pair on your audio
interface. These individual stereo outputs can then be connected to your favorite DJ mixer in the same manner as
two turntables or CDJ’s. You’ll then mix and cue your tracks using your DJ mixer instead of Torq’s Mixer.
< Channel Assignments
Once you have selected an audio interface and selected a mixer mode, you can assign the outputs of Torq to the
channels of the selected audio interface. The assignment options will differ depending on which mixer mode is
active:
