All user reviews of 2/5 for the Hercules DJ Console Mk2

I mix for over 20 years
Imagine you rve!
The era or to go on a silent evening my car full with nothing but the sound: two turntables and a mixer in their flight, a few crates of records ...
I fantasize about this modern world and all that would fit in the glove compartment of my smart??
Besides the economy substancial couraging the shock of the car.

A laptop Pentium M 512 1.70 RAM

Installation without problem.
Attention properly install the CD that came before you update the firmare.
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!

What technical specifications motivated your choice?

Being able to mix in real life without being forced to lug around with a lot of cd ... The price also, 250 for two turntables and a mixer is trs COMPTITE ...

The installation is either simplistic or complicated trs I reinstall plusisieurs of the time ... the installation took me 10 minutes the very first time ... 2 H 2 me the time ...
the manual is more trslger ...

The driver may not be stable .. trs there are some updates ... that pose the problem in prcoute ... So I gave up ...

It can be used with New dj ... This software is only introuvale ... It also works with Tracktor dj studio but this software is a little older. Most of the time I used the default virtual dj with ... By far the best interface ... but not the best when its pitch (Tracktor is better. It is both registered two runs and even a troisime Whereas if we sample the function ...

I bought this product to mix for fun, burn some CDs for my friends and especially to learn the basics to become a real dj ... In spend 2 days 5 hours, I soon reached the limits ... The sound is not great (just a Virtual dj ...) especially when one changes the tempo of titles ... loops are not prcis ... Given the price could go ... But I l or t trsdu it at the jog wheels ... Prcis not at all ... if they are turned trs slowly, has no effect ... trsgnant given that the precision must be a minimum agenda dixime second ... APRS four months, I have to buy me e DCID real plates and is much better from a mixer (if you know I hear good mix, I do not speak of those who mix ii with graphics or virtual dj on real plates are short palm ....) to an evening with friends DJ Console Mk2 vnement enough but for a slightly larger, let fall ...

When I bought my real turntables (Pioneer CDJ 800 MK2) until I wanted to buy a real mixer to connect DJ Console ... silent sound horrible, with grsillement (even an APRS rglage bass / midrange and treble ...

Another important problem is the time of the rponse Play / pause, it is not instantaneous ... Whereas it is necessary to take this time to Russia rponse correctly combos ...

So it's not something I recommend ... better to wait a bit and buy real turntables used ...

When you get a good mix with, without using the graphs of virtual dj, you know mix of all types of decks!

Now I am resident dj in radio (I mix with 2 cdj 800 mk2 djm 600 and a table) but I will remind beginners that I have the above ...
