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.
