Lead In

Any practiced DJ knows that playing and scratching records will eventually destroy them. If the needle is exceptionally 
heavy or if you scratch in the same place a lot, the grooves in the record can be eaten away thus tarnishing the sound 
quality. This frequently happens at the beginning of records and is something DJs call “cue burn”.

With traditional records, cue burn was something to pay attention to because it didn’t sound very good. When using 
control records like the Torq Vinyls, cue burn becomes a serious issue. This is due to the fact that you use the same two 
records to play every song in your set all the time and because Torq might not be able to track the motion in a section 
of the vinyl with cue burn. If you’re using Absolute mode, every song will begin at the same place on the record (at the 
beginning). Constantly cueing and scratching in this area will eat away at the grooves on the Torq Vinyl.

When using traditional records, spotting cue burn is easy: you hear it. It sounds like the record is really dirty (as if it had 
been scrubbed with sandpaper). However, when using the Torq Vinyl, you won’t hear cue burn because Torq will still 
be playing pristine digital audio files. Instead of hearing the audio get scratchy when your control records start getting 
burned, you’ll find that Torq’s ability to follow the control records is compromised. This usually manifests itself right 
at the beginning of each song—the music will jump around erratically. This is because Torq is unable to determine the 

proper location because the signal from the control records has been damaged.
