But hey, for that price I would recommend a quiquonque who wants to learn or mix is ​​to have a little device to have fun with friends.

    PS: it's still a great camera for beginners.

    -My choice was the Hercules console for its simplicity, its size and board functions. Indeed VDJ software alone has little interest. The preview to the headphone was also one of my motivations. After you download and read the instruction manual, I cracked the jogger is also larger and more precise, it is a good introduction to the scratch. Moreover, it is a handheld, small, very convenient.

    "I use the console for now only with my PC and my Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers. In the evening, I use this amp, or I do lend a ...

    -Installation is very easy to connect the console to the pc, just follow the manual, very explicit. Now I did not try to connect turntables or DJ console .. I do not.
    -No incompatibilities encountered, except in the very first launch VDJ DJConsole edition, it did not recognize the console, I simply disconnected and reconnected.
    -The configuration could not be simpler, only three tabs in the configuration tool console. The button configuration is done in software.
    -The manual is clear but does not explain the operation of VDJ ... probably because you can use other software, but with VDJ comes with the console, they might be able to put a manual to explain (though I was already using it before ... it would have been useful for new users)
    -The only problem is to install VDJ was missing the CD key, so I called the customer service which has provided me immediately.

    -The drivers are very stable. No problem so far on this.
    -The console has a single update for now.
    "I only use Virtual DJ 3.2 dj console edition (that comes with the console)
    -I do not look or auditory latency with my setup (I have not tested with a lower config)
    -I can read two tracks simultaneously, the two tracks of the software (and console)
    -Just a small point, he could have put a system of blocking the jogger because they are very accurate, and the slightest movement makes it sratcher on music, so be careful in mixing not to touch them if you do not want missing the mix. But it is a matter of habit.

    "I use the console for 1 week.
    -What I like most is having a console to mix on the pc .. is incomparable with the keyboard / mouse. The preview to the headphone quickly becomes indispensable for an occasional DJ like me, this console is a perfect solution. The functions that are excellent as they embark to control almost entirely VDJ software (for example) and this software is already very powerful.
    -What I like least is its size can be, but it's on purpose, is a portable, easy to transport that does not take place. The buttons are large enough not too many problems at this level. Only the cover is difficult to remove .. but it may just be on my console.
    -I never tried the other models before.
    -The price / quality ratio is excellent. When you see the price of a table mix + 2 decks, all to be connected to the PC for use with vinyl timecoded ... I prefer the DJ Console MK2. Some say that the scratch it has nothing to do .. and they are right ... nothing can replace a vinyl. But for me, as an amateur DJ who mixes for fun in the evenings and at home, I do not spend my time sratcher and I did not buy the console for this purpose. I mix the pieces with great combos, which is the purpose of the console.
    -With experience, and given my use, I think I would do this choice.

    Trs sincrement to mix ... I have more confidence in my keyboard and my mouse with Virtual DJ!
    First, there must be stern finger Barbie not to touch the plates when using the crossfader. Needless to say that if you hit a plateau draille mix and everyone you throw stones!
    Next to love the style because it fte forraine flashing everywhere and in every color! really useful if you want vrifier if your child is color blind.

    I am registered on this site, so I had the rage to have bought on the comments I've read here!

    This machine is a good sound card trs. You could make it less CHRE removing buttons.

    Even when I tried to beat a dead horse a few weeks the top ... but must not take for imbciles DJ! Maybe that is fun for a child to ensure the mix ... kind gift of Christmas, but nothing srieux!

    So now I put a few euros I keep cot Virtual DJ and I would invest in a real solution of the type serato or better XP10.

    Thank you Hercules, made less of disinformation and real products.

    DJing fans .... go your way

    Anything goes: sound card installation, ASIO, Midi. And it works.

    Cot sound card saying anything, the passage of the HDJC MK2 sound card the laptop is when I unplugged the nickel hot console.

    Installing Virtual DJ no problem with the cl contained on the CD sleeve

    Drivers OK, Recovery of Virtual DJ 3.2 Without Problems and stable operation.
    Software used: Virtual DJ
    No possibility to use Mixvibes date ..
    No set days or control files for other apps ...
    Just a terse communicated to the lack of agreement between Hercules and mixvibes. But a promise not to date come to a version control mixvibes ...
    but we shall return later.

    2 weeks that I am Owner 'of this toy:
    Positive results:
    - For the sound card

    - Rponse good time, so the possibility to chain the pieces of Manir fun and not test the possibility to make timecode vinyls and use DJConsole with.

    - The options offered by Virtual DJ:
    phasing and other effects backspin DOWNLOADABLE ...
    when I think there's still time if the phasing was 2 identical drives, the timing of the two disks and correct finger to vary the effect ... It's beautiful the progress

    Balance much less positive:
    - The paved the CONTRL:

    - Difficult to avoid the jogs playing a little with the crossfader or just when moving the cross fader to the other potentiometers.
    Consquence: a beautiful decallage in the mix
    But one possible solution: And it is seen mssieur Hercules, use the 2 outputs
    as audio channel 1 and channel 2 and redirect to a mixer (any more robust for the fawn scratch) - but has not returned more in my glove box smart -
    - The potentiometer long imprcis are totally wrong and unusable slide to adjust the pitch in Virtual DJ.
    - The jogs are not sensitive to trs dclenchement Cue mode. It is the only CONTRL for which time is rponse imprcis.

    - Virtual DJ:
    I found this app very reliable on the mix and the BPM.
    When the bunk bpm, there are dcallages beats, even on good music elctronique well regularly.
    No waveform by piece like a Mixvibes or traktor. Convenient to locate breaks if like me (yes I am ashamed) you do not know his songs by heart.
    For now no config file on other apps!

    Overall balance rather mixed.
    The potential is l.
    I thought given the price (if one compares the Hercules Console or MP3 arlesienne Behringer) might have some components plsu reliable ... But no.
    Go me hope again! implementation available to other apps and drivers of amlioration correct imperfections ...
    To be continued!

I chose to pay me this toy to start the mp3 mix and I say "ah, finally in a mix of direct interface usb" as it was for me the only important criterion and not the full range of functions that integrate the two balls console.
    Pc: Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2/XP 1900 + / 512MB
    I used this first version by linking my pc and my cd player and yes on the first version you could also put 2 and not on innovation at the MK2 so I say he has a point again ...

    Sincerely I would say the first time I had the console two days before I have to understand and above all to find all the functions of the console! It's true we need to understand the subtle detail to enable the micro for example ... you have to press on the knob of the microphone, so imagine if you turn the knob ... wanting to activate it you'll find yourself with the microphone at the bottom or vice versa without having the attention ... installation level I would say how long a product is as simple will say it, the software installed corect but it made me curious to install it first had to install the full range of drivers for the console and only then could connect the USB port on the console ... it reminds me of myself I was doing exactly the same with my adsl usb modem! short, I would say that the installation manual is as its name indicates an installation manual but not an instruction manual ... and it can become hard for someone who is not a regular computer praticante

    The drivers are unstable in the sense I think it installs 3 or 4 and if you have a particular configuration pc just your drivers will be a little put to the test ... we must all embark drivers to use console in connection with the pc.
    No Update to my knowledge and I've scoured the site of Hercules ....
    I used virtual dj console dj3 ... And I would say it is the whole problem of this machine if you think about biznes you can only use the software and your console no longer serves you is nothing if not that of USB interface! or if you have the choice really is to use your console but this time the virtual dj it no longer serves as MP3 player at the same way as winamp ... I sincerely incline ie for the first solution only use virtual dj and just like the console above the USB interface software provides a BPM counter and all the rest only console that can do ...

    I had the dj console for about a year and sincerment is a bit of shame in the evening ... I would say the first thing I most is being able to work with my pc but after I say that the problems come quickly in performance, not finishing top, the same button layout and finally the sound quality that has nothing to do with a real mixer ... When you want to be on a console fully illuminates the buttons is not there nothing phosphorescent stuff that reminds us of the stickers you see on the night we all had when we were kids ...
    I would say the price / quality ratio is high it is a product for use that may have to do, Siner this is not a dj but a product for a pc computer gambler is the dream but it is useless
    Sincerely I finally found the solution and it is not the least is the dream, I buy a mixer numark (already djs wakes up when we read that the model NUMARK DXM and I can tell you I take my foot! I quickly explained my solution: it is a simple mixer with traditional 2-port input / output USB so 2 player on the PC Card and therefore 2 its integrated USB directly into the mixer drivers no longer need is recognized as a usb mp3 usb for each input that is then assigned to its codecs usb pc the mixer and rolled youth! ! The best thing is that in addition to two USB inputs that you can turn to be Parallel 2 phono turntables cd turntables or 2 is not top that?? the end for my solution just then to have a good mix of download on pc for example we can continue to use virtual dj but hey it is not great either before and after the music ...

    Like other DJ this post, this is more than a decade that I mix and remix of electronic music.
    I discovered Virtual DJ and it was the real revolution, he missed just one controller for the drive: the MK2 and quite good for that do not want to ruin the back (to carry the boxes of "SKEUD") and wallet ( € 180 seeking deals on the net).

    I mix and remix at home (AMD Atlona, ​​1 Giga RAM, 2x160 GB SATA, ASRock € 50: nothing special)

    Installation without problems, no conflict, Updating of firmware almost automatic.

    manual: I have a fault I never read them ..... except crash.
    interfaces settings are minimalist: aditional magnet bidouilller tweaks have been a plus.

    No problem on the drivers.
    an update from my purchase (November 2005)
    I only use virtual DJ because it is best to live with the effects in real time.
    Low latency

    It's been six months that I mix with these tools I do not understand how you can miss a mix. Forward with technics MKII, I was a pleasure in Maitena mix of more than 5 minutes with an ultra-precise pitch control. Today I'm having to mix with the MK2 style megamix for ben Liebrand, every 2 minutes and which foot!.
    For vinyl purists, we must go beyond the approach "best practice" and focus on the means that will allow you to achieve the realization of set off a pertuelles want to dance: the loops and other effects have become available . The effect reminds me BEATGRID beatbreaker years (1989-90) and had to be wealthy to pay for this.
    Brief DJ a "retired" like me this console allows me not to lose the hand and play the Carl Cox and other GUY SALAMA .... in an office when a 8m ² BERCY
    This console has drawbacks in terms of arrangement of the keys: the fader is too close to the wheels. the stretch-are too hard to do because after the scratch hard to launch the title without a latency pity I did not report to DMC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

    last LOOP functions are essential for budding remixers and hacker. It is not an isolated sample and mix with others, ideal for testing versus.

    in short I do not regret my purchase and I conseilsà mix who loves and knows how to actually do it because it's not because the two titles are the same BPM as the mix is ​​successful: it is the feeling and sensitivity of the DJ that makes the difference.

    Phase I stop is my philosophy and I wish you good mix

    Enjoy

    So to start I discovered a dj console on the net when I gallery with my keyboard and my mouse to mix on virtual dj and I flashed on the console first by its price and features for its associated virtual dj. Having wanted to wait for the product "evolves" I waited a few mk2 version. As dj Amateur (radio mix of personal and realization of dj set trance / electro / tek only available on my website) and not wanting dépensser lot of money currently in the world of djing I'm facing this console with an aspect involving the main function of djing for a small fee and I'm super excited.
    I tested the console with my Altec Lansing (2 small speakers + subwoofer) no noise (even at very high volume) very good sound nothing to say on this side of (bein obviously if your piece will be for AC even less on pro speaker volume or very high I recommend CBR 192 minimum).
    Several PFL mode available: Previewing one of two decks to choose from, mix mode (the sound from the speakers) and split (Platinum 1 in the right earphone and two platinum in the left ear).
    In terms of my DJ console config I use on my laptop toshiba 1.7 GHz (single core) with 1GB ram, no problem found but be careful not to use software-intensive processor power if it the cata assured the best is to get a special config for the mix.
    Still on some songs are virtual dj have miscalculated their bitrate so if you mixed only with beatlock of virtual dj gonna be shifted. Thanks to the DJ console j'au aprendre have a mixer to orreille that I could not do before with no PFL

    Everything is very simple installation from the cd automatically sat down and explained in the manual installation of Virtual DJ DJC Edition without any problems (if you have the pro version of virtual dj no need to install virtual dj on the CD).

    No problems with stability of drivers proposed update of these drivers once they installer.J 'To approach a time of high response functions of the console but responds very well.

    After installing the console on everything is usable if you have already received a virtual dj adaptation to the console is very fast and we quickly discover all practical when it is coupled with virtual dj. I did not have OCASI test with other software virtual dj, I would have to try tracktor but I have not figured out how to configure the software for use with the console (lack of support at of trackor for use with the dj console).
    I have not encountered any particular problems with the console only thing that can cause problems for those who have big needs to use the crossfader which is too near the jogs and sometimes may have affected and then shifted the song. Personal I rarely used the crossfader and when I do not have to use it I LOCK from the software of the dj console.
    I want to say that we must configure the software virtual dj for a good quality of sound (the master tempo style disabled and disable the limiter if your songs are not good etc. ....).
    Finally after nearly one month of use Intesa DJ Console is a great product-oriented as well dj amateur, semi pro and pro because it is possible to add to this a console mixer and two turntables for vinyl records use of vinyl records Timecoded therefore possible changes in the use of the console (you can use a similar final scratch).
    I highly recommend the DJ Console MK2 especially today in the era of digital mixing!
    For the scratch I recommend the use of the console with the vinyl Timecoded dj console is not very practical for single scratch

    The manual is clear and simple.

    Premire use mp3 mix with VirtualDJ is nice to see the faders moving on the console as the screen. However, I not only 448 MB of RAM is limited, I got a few cuts, step + + console his figs for a few seconds and it has several times - right in the mix not cool.

    A +, the joystick and two buttons to assign the middle, practices to navigate the records without getting the mouse or keyboard.

    I use it for a few days.

    I find the play / pause button a little soft, it's quite difficult to measure s'arrter the first time.

    I like the knobs, they are like those of DJM. Autobeat button is nice for a quick pitch. Nanmoins, 1 out of 2 lgrement must edit the pitch.

    Ct ergonomics, should not the hands of bcheron ... If your habit of mixers club or studio, good luck. When it is desired to touch the crossfader, attention to two jog wheels. Although I have small hands, I actually have 3 or 4 times in a row - not cool mix in the open again.

    Finally, I do not regret my purchase (qualitprix suitable, we have seen worse), but I will not venture into dbouler sional teckhouse with this product ... or possibly with timecode records. Nice for the home studio or when traveling for leisure, and mix.

    Level configuration, no problems, the software did it all as a great!

    Regarding the manual, I either I do not read manuals, so I have not yet reached

    No problems with the drivers, except that I can not run the console with my older version of Virtual DJ ...

    Not frequently updated, but as has already been said, why put the drivers up to date if everything works?!

    Latency: I realize that I have a small gap still small but probably due to my setup which is not unique

    I've had less than a week,

    I love the button layout etc ... but I find the two "wheel" very, very sensitive, and sometimes it touches the fingertips of one wheel and it is true that in the midst of transition between two songs is not great!

    This is the first console that I have, so I can not compare to other models ...

    Quality / price ratio good enough for € 180 (Flash Sale on the Internet) is very correct!
