Each qualified M-Audio hardware product works with Torq in a unique fashion, and those methods are outlined in each of their user manuals . [. . . ] < Adding Multiple Folders You may find that one folder will contain many folders that you'd like to add to the Database. A great example of this is when your music is automatically sorted by a program like Apple iTunes. Typically, there will be a folder for each artist in your collection, and each of these folders will contain individual folders for each album by that artist. Therefore, if you want to add all the music by this particular artist to the Database, you actually need to add all of the individual album folders . To make this easier, Torq includes an option for adding folders, including their subfolders, to the Database: 1. Use the Browser to locate the folder containing the sub-folders you want to add. Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) the folder and select "Add folder to Database Recursively. " Torq will automatically add the folder, along with all its sub-folders, to the Database. Torq User Guide » Chapter 1 9 45 < Adding Folders from Your OS If you'd prefer, you can add folders to the Database by dragging them from your operating system into the Torq Browser. Find your desired folders using the tools of your operating system (Explorer or Finder). Release the mouse button and the folder will be added to the Database. Note: You can also include the subfolders by holding the Alt key while dragging the folder into the Database. < Searching Specific Database Folders Clicking on the Database heading will display every song contained in the Database in the File List to the right of the Browser window. If you would like to confine your search to only a particular folder within the Database: 1. The list will expand to show all of the folders contained in the Database . The File List will be updated to only show the songs contained in that specific folder . < Removing Folders from Database There are two ways to remove folders from the Database. You can either search through the folders currently listed within the Database and remove them, or you can locate the original folders on your hard drives to remove them . The folder will then be removed from the Database while the original audio files will still remain on your hard drives. If the folder contains sub-folders that are part of the Database, they will remain in the Database. Click "Remove from Database Recursively" to remove this folder, along with all of its sub-folders, from the Database . Torq User Guide File List » Chapter 1 9 46 The window to the right of the Browser pane is called the File List. If you have selected a source in the Browser that contains music (such as the Database or an individual folder), the songs contained therein will be listed here. The File List not only shows you the name of the song, but also shows the artist name, album name, track number, genre, and other fields contained within the song's ID3 tag. These additional categories can help you find song with greater efficiency. [. . . ] Search iTunes Library with Database If you happen to have a copy of Apple iTunes installed on your computer, selecting "Yes" for this option will integrate its Music Library into Torq's Database. Any songs currently a part of your iTunes Library will be instantly accessible in Torq along with all other folders assigned to the Database. If this option is off, you'll have to specifically select the iTunes Library in the Browser window to view its contents. Transport Mode The Nudge and Offset buttons in the Decks can have their directions reversed using this preference. [. . . ]
