I played with the Torq Mixlab setup at CES and after only spending 5 minutes with it, I was impressed. Basically what I’m trying to convey to you is that I know what the hell I’m talking about. ![]() With CD DJing, I know it’s much easier but still, you can’t really see what’s going on like you can with vinyl. With this setup, I was able to DJ pretty well but beatmatching was truly a pain in the ass. I never used CD-based turntables, only two Technics 1200 MKIIs, an Apple G4 Powerbook, and a Rane mixer. I’ve DJ’d at clubs, parties, dances, and coffeehouses. I’m not an idiot when it comes to DJing by any means. After spending just a few days with M-Audio’s Torq Mixlab Digital DJ System, I’m officially declaring that any other form of DJing is obsolete. ![]() From the infamous Technics 1200s to Numark’s iPod DJ system, the technique of holding the attention of a dance floor required precise musical knowledge, expert mixing skills, and a sixth-sense of beatmatching.

It might not be the best for people looking for more advanced functions or those who want to try something a little more complex within their editing software.īut as far as music video editing goes, it is a solid program. For most users, DJ Mixer Express has more than enough features to get whatever you need to get done.

Outside of the core functions that every editor needs, the software integrates seamlessly with iTunes and can output directly to it.
