All user reviews for the M-Audio Torq Conectiv

- Two Pramplis phono + USB sound card in a minimal footprint.
- I'm in a club DJ and I play my productions from Virtual DJ (with timecods vynils)
- Laptop HP NX-9105 and Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP PRO SP2.
- Table DJ ECLER MAC40, 2 Turntables Technics SL1200 MK2.

Exactly what I was looking for several months. All this looks very promising!

- No problem installation, no need to diploma engineer to install it.
- No incompatibilits note.
- A menu for rgler latency. That's all we need!
- The manual is very clear, it also helped me in my choice.

- This is where the first problems appear ... After some time (1 to 2 hours) Virtual DJ miserably plant (although I had no problems with my Hercules DJ Console) leaving me in the impossibility to play my productions. Also, I could not "complete the program," and so I had to stay with the program open, but without being able to plant restarting the computer because the signal of my two turntables vinyl records through the interface ( RIAA correction is done through this interface). So for my use, crash = cut its mandatory to rutiliser the correct interface.
- No update for the moment ...
- Virtual DJ 4.1 with Vynils timecods.
- 128 ms (the minimum possible with this interface)
------

- I am using Conectiv for several days.
- Both pramplis phono have motivated my choice. Unfortunately, their characteristics leave to be desired. After comparison with pramplis my table ECLER MAC40 two major differences emerged: the Conectiv out a pramplification RIAA signal after about 6 to 8 dB below the level measured with MAC40 and the definition in the bass frequencies is worse than the MAC40.
- I have not tried other interfaces being equivalent so I can not compare.
- At first glance, the report qualitprix seemed very attractive, but the instability of the driver and quality of pramplis phono make me rviser my opinion. The interface remains intressante for home use that does not ncessite an irreproachable stability and can also be used ASIO sound card for other applications.
- My use as very limited at the moment, I can not say if I would do this choice. New drivers would be welcome and I am currently working on another solution for pramplificaton RIAA.

- How long have you use it?

3 days it's all hot ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

bin size, it is smaller than one might imagine in realitje find it quite more 'n play with windaube.donc no problem with the driver the only thing is that I have to unplug my card the m-audio fast track to start the AC logiciel..mais seem logical to me the pc would not manage 2 sound card !!! if both with regard to touch vinyl is like ... I wonder how it might be more realistic than AC and syncroscience software is pretty damn good especially visually.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

the bcd 2000 Berhinger .... nothing to do!
How do you report qualitprix?

ben knowing that vinyl costs 10 euro and 250 euro torq listening ... very interesting.

1 month (so step back)

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+: Move the PC rather than vinyl bins, manage his turntables as cdj, rponse impccable time with a laptop which is the lowest in terms of power, low system resources used br /> -: Effects of quality Intgr intermdiaire (cetain as flanger pass filter low pass function are worth repeat), the navigation to find its files (it's harder than doing dfile the vinyl with his fingers on my part because the pockets of skeuds gives me a lot of information about the music they contain) but also a matter of habit ... I think ... I ' Espree (I begin to get used to it and it's going pretty good)

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I test the software mixvibes one that I really dcu by its intensive use of system and Traktor 3 me much but the ensamble was too expensive ...

How do you report qualitprix?
The best mix on the market if only two turntables just

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
Without any hsitations, this software is a ticking bomb, when you buy it, you boot, when he took over the house ... pter!

Go the first time I give my opinion on a product to product but definitely worth the trouble to make the pub!

How long have you use it?

Around one month, I have the Connect over but they were out of stock vinyl timecode

What is so special that you like most and least?

No lag! foot total frankly. It raised the cell was based on the another part of the vinyl and ca live off again like a real vinyl.
I also like the possibility of past timecode vinyl classic, it's good for parties, no need for disconnection.
What I like least, you have to buy the adapter so that it works without a PC. In fact such qd in the evening my set is over after which the mix of classic vinyl chains, and Ben must leave my PC connected, and this context makes all the beers on my PC
Finally an adapter and the problem and solved.
The sound is really good, it's still not like the vinyl it's normal mp3 or wav file being played.
I tried with vinyl records to wav such and it's like you mix on vinyl.
I prefer the +: bring only one hard drive instead of 50 vinyl and vinyl to play possbilité found.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Quality / price ratio compared to frankly nikel products like Final Scratch ...

Without thinking

- How long have you use it?
Only for 5 days, so it may be that I think will suffer variations over time

- What is so special that you like most and least?
+ + The quality of the Conectiv box, its simplicity and clarity + + function Snapshot (snapshot) of Torq that opens many new opportunities to mix, the sampler almost unlimited and assignable ...
- I was not completely convinced by the graphic design software, fortunately there is a possibility to change the appearance, though some skins are awful (the "psytranced" for example, is finally a matter of taste .. .), others are more simple and lighter than the original ...
- The lack of external power in the pack (it can still be used even if the case is powered by USB), USB cable a bit short
--- The inability to activate Torq without connecting the housing is not really a handicap but it's better to have a choice

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I've never tried this type of system before but I've had the opportunity to mix with Traktor computer (not satisfied at all) and DJ-1800 which is a simple but effective ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Less than 300 euros a pack vinyl + CD control, interface and software, I do not think there is an equivalent on the market, especially with this quality ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Well, I have little experience as I have said above, but for now I'm really not disappointed with this purchase!

- How long have you use it?

I use Torq and Connect since last May, so for 4 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

This software and its interface rpondent compltement my expectations, the possibility can control all the midi learn is an asset indniable, Ractive Submitted, quality of the sound card only suitable.
Points on ngatifs, if any, they are really ngligeables from the software.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Yes I used MixVibes Pro for two years, without comment, and it is this use that made me realize that TORQ rpond compltement my expectations.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Indtronable, I wanted a reliable software, usable on the Mac with the midi learn, ractif and which do not eat tons of CPU resources not to mention the reliability of the house M-audio has a research and office devellopement worthy of the name
icing on the cake less than 300 euros sound card included! hsitez you still you??

Question, but it is relevant, there is a proverb that says:

- How long have you use it?
I use it for 2 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I not sure how the interface is made ... Otherwise it rpond quickly plug in a second, it is stable. It allows you to mix MP3's staying on the vinyl, and the magic box can open set to go on a traditional vinyl.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I wait not in fact always the rponse my quetions ask MIXVIBES ... so here goes ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
Stunning, from the concurrency is cheap and it works thunder, really amazing, a good compromise for trs irrductibles of vinyl (like me can not go on CD). It's faster to buy a CD player for MP3 that are more Chres this set.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes yes yes, say that as soon as the purchase of a CD player and can stay in "touch vinyl" with numrique ... magic! (Yeah vinyl albums do not contain all the features that a ZIC cd ...). I waited a long time to spend on such Systm, lack of confidence. Even the customer service (and I speak only issue with their service because no problems with the gear or software) is at the top. I told them to ask lots of questions before you buy (for several months for that matter) and they always took the time and trouble to answer within a short time. APRS is the M-Audio, a guarantee of quality

- How long have you use it?
3 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
most: the rapid implementation of the rponse IMMEDIATE mp3 on vinyl records, the vinyl touch ...
the least: the software interface is ugly (but pretty intuitive)
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
virtual dj free USB interface and yes it is more stylish but the functions remain the same majority.
- How do you report qualitprix?
The best of the world: 300 is the price of 15 vinyl records!
Please note the arrival of Mixvibes the same price!
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Although it is a matter of sr shekel

- How long have you use it?

about 2 months ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Plus:-the answer (no latency)
-Appearance (pars fluorescent patterns that pete my eyes a little taste)
-Being able to put markers (no need to think, you made a good time, and c)

The least: The dcalages when I scratch (the precise point on which the vinyl is the sound you scratch shifts as and when)
-When you choose a loop 1 2 4 or 8 times, you do little more then you walk to your songs on your cell dplacant vinyl but only you using the mouse.
-The Difference in level between vinyl and wave on the PC (it must boost the gain when you died on vinyl mix to reach the members on the wave or mp3).

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Yeah the serato, but the analysis time (time rel of the song) was too long and then there especially the price (very expensive !!!!)

- How do you report qualitprix?

extra, I bought it on ebay at the United States, he came back around 250 which is pretty good compared to other ... and then compare it with vinyl, you can choose the song you want on sites like beatport for prices of around 3 for forming the wave.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

It would depend on my budjet. more as I would probably opt for final scratch ...

Thank you a plush !!!!!!!

I use Torq for 2 months dja, even if it is to me a lot more beginners, with its innovative features, now it is no longer the case. Before I mixvibes DVS with enough low-end card (ESI Maya 44 pci) and I think his level mixvibes Exceeds widely Torq with the same Maya 44, especially the scratch o mixvibes a more resembling the grain of the vinyl. During the power to scratch I think Torq is too flat. But I put him 6 / 10 same as when it is a good software that I strongly advise to mix house techno electro orient more, but for the scratch mixvibes is far better. And I speak not of Torq sampler is an option trs useless because it has not its own output when Torq timecode vinyls with.

- How long have you use it?
I did not keep very long and it was version 1.0.4

- What is so special that you like most and least?
What I liked from the beginning it was all assignments (fx, sampler) to the beat of a very simple way. What I like least is the sound quality both in terms of the card's software. Even with the sound FA66 remained poor and on other soft Connectivity was not better. The problem is located on two sides: hard / soft.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had (and still have) a lot of soft: PCDJ Red, DVS & Mixvibes Pro 6, Traktor 3, SSL, I change very often system. I will definitely take PCDJ Reflex soon as it is available.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Considering the price, it can not repprocher sound, so the price / quality ratio is correct: one for money, not more ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No, unless the audio engine is seriously revised to use the cards better than the Connect. Yet even at the spectrum analyzer I see no difference, but to listen to some tracks, it's very bland at the bass and midrange / treble seem draft: inexplicable ...
