All user reviews of 5/5 for the Hercules DJ Control Steel

This is not what controller I use today but I made my debut in the middle of the movie with him.
It was my first controller, and after I invested in a VMS4 American Audio.
His most it is simply extremely practical ergonomics and extremely intuitive interface that allows anyone to succeed nice transition.
His least is the lack of sound card, but for an amateur dj that does not matter because little direct use of the computer.
The price rise is fairly new, but I think there is opportunity to make a good deal, especially since the production is pretty good and the controller is relatively strong.
I recommend this controller to everyone who wants to start and grow in the middle of the mix and animation, it is a formidable gateway turning any individual amateur DJ.

Note that to continue to break into this community it will be necessary to invest in another type of material, but we must compare what is comparable, there is no equivalent in this product line.

- How long have you use it?
10 days along with Traktor 3.4 and Traktor Pro

- What you like best:
3 tracks "volume" and number of buttons and controls assignable
Nice touch faders and pots. The set off a real feeling of solidity.

- The least?
No external power supply that can pump a bit on some USB ports
"Shift" limited to certain buttons.
MIDI implementation poorly described. Sending a message on the control switches shown in another.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes: Vestax VCI 100, M-Audio X Session, Faderfox DJ Kontrol DJ. I put the same level as the level vestax grip, though a bit more cumbersome, it allows to have controls enough apart to avoid them tangling fingers.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes. My choice was motivated by my lack of need for a controller with integrated audio interface.

How long have you use it?
One year

What is so special that you like most and least?
The best: compact but not too tight, the top aesthetic, strength of the chassis (fader knobs and a little less ...) and price!
Minimum: MIDI implementation weird sometimes, but it is the only flaw!

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, no mixer control noon, but to have two CD players and a mixer, how to mix is ​​totally different. That's why I suggest that the higher the Steel RMX Hercules, because it is better to separate the digital mixing digital mixing. After it is only my opinion

How would you rate the quality / price?
The report is very good, except for the crossfader which I find a little weakling who deserved a better quality

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, because there, on that table, all the functions necessary to mix like a table Behringer DDM4000 for example, which is very nice, but not in price!

For how long have you been using it?
Um for approximately 4 months
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
DJcontrole the MP3 from the same manufacturer, and mix in Virtuality AudioPhony
What thing do you like most/least about it?
More on: - Strength Product
- Potentiometers not too soft nor too hard
- Console large enough
- The price
The Minus: - Jog small
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
It has for its price, and begin to deepen into the mix as this console is enough, it is by its solid frame and the buttons respond superbly on traktor. More when we have a small budget like me can go there with eyes closed ^ ^
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Straightforwardly because I personally have no budget to buy me pioneers (unfortunately) and for hobbyists and music mix this console offers low prices a lot of possibility. Certainly it is not the Pioneers, but it is far from 450 for first prize. At first I was rétissant bad memory of Hercules with the MP3 control which was small and soft buttons, but it gives me a different vision of the brand. Now I hope to have the opportunity to acquire Pioneers ^ ^
