Hercules DJ Console RMX2 Controller Review

[@jimbolecat]

i used the rmx for years when i first started djing with computers. amazing for the money, i sold the controller to my friend and he still uses it

[@digitaldjtips]

+jimbolecat Cool! Glad it worked out for you both :)

[@miscible21]

Thanks for the review! I like this console but doubt it's available where I live, which is a shame. I see you still have the Gemini SR's up in the background. How are they holding up? I'm super keen on buying a pair but I am concerned about how they'll perform over time.

I use my rmx 2 on traktor pro 2 with an f1 and x1mk2. even thinking of addin a second rmx2. i like mine alot. wonder if hercules is going to drop a new metal encased controller like this or an upgrade to the 4mx. tht would be cool

[@miscible21]

Good stuff. I hope to grab a pair by next month. Thanks for the reply and thanks for all your product reviews. They're a big help for someone like me who is hoping to start spinning again after many years :-)

[@DjPhaseFour]

I just got one thanks to you guys and DJBoothDJs reviews.

[@digitaldjtips]

Awesome, let us know what you think!

[@DjPhaseFour]

I love it!

[@reel9]

Thank you my good sir!! Now the box also said something about USB 3.0. Do you have any insight on that?

[@dlarck]

Is it better to get the first RMX if it is just for playing tracks through my computer and using the crossfader?

[@dumery]

You are talking a bit about the first RMX. I'm a beginner and I can buy the RMX 1 for 127 dollars. Do you think this is a good controller then for that price? I also tought about the hercules instinct and mk4.

[@DJKento]

I had their first DJ controller and it's what got me into controllerism, but I still feel that Virtual DJ needs to change their name to be taken seriously. Virtual implies that if you're using this you're "not really a dj", you're an artificial DJ. I've seen one of these in person and well and the build is nice, and I like how it feels, but I still prefer my S2 and S4 set ups.

[@AE2X17]

what is the difference between this one and the hercules air control I can´t find it appart from the price

[@reel9]

I am waiting to get my hands on this! I have it in layaway and my question is.. Is it better than the MK4 in your opinion?

[@isabellelechuza2917]

Is this better than the pinoneer DDJ we-go?

[@HashBandit]

Im Always watching your videos,Do you have any videos of yourself DJ'ing ? I'd love to see them if you have any :) !! Love you videos btw

[@pringleheed]

hello phil, i have tried joining your website so i could write on the forum but i have not yet been accepted yet and i am a bit strapped for time, and cash haha.now. i play tech house, deep house, house, funk n soul. i need something that i can have good samples, loops and cues to create longer basslines for the funk n soul n disco. i want good performance to use with traktor preferably, i have that software, can you recommend anything under £300? good for bars, 2nd rooms in clubs...

[@spencergreenefilm771]

Can this run traktor 2?

[@ajdnaprimer]

I must say that this controller is very good, even superior for the price. the sound coming out is very hq, there are 4 inputs + the mic, xlr outputs for monitors, it's all reliable and long lasting. the only thing I mind is that the midi is non compatible with ableton live, at least in my case. I tried everything. anyone else had issues? Even so, I would still recommend this both as a dj controller and sound card...

[@digitaldjtips]

+ajdnaprimer Glad to hear it. For Ableton Live compatibility, you could try posting the question to our forum: www.digitaldjtips.com/forum/

[@lazious91]

how does this compare to the control air?

[@kevressTV]

Would be better RMX2 or Pioneer DDJ WeGo?

[@BboyHYPENESS]

Hey DigitalDJTips, Would you know where I can find mappings to this controller to Traktor Pro 2 ?

[@niiilas]

whats the name of the monitors ?

[@aldo2241]

hey this is cool I didnt know if I should buy one but this video made it a lot easier

[@digitaldjtips]

+aldo hernandez Awesome :)

[@ethanm4413]

Hey, despite the age, would this still be a good controller to pick up? A coworker is offering me his, this would be my first time ever owning one.

[@digitaldjtips]

I personally wouldn't at this point unless he's giving it to you for free

[@stefano11111]

the Hercules RMX2 also works without a power supply like the native instruments s2?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, this works from USB power :-)

[@alexm20112012]

I been using it for a wnike a few years to be exact and when I download the software and installed it When I got to use it The Asilo software keep coming out so I won’t be able to use the console What can I do?

[@digitaldjtips]

Sorry this is a very old controller now and discontinued, you might be out of luck but I'd suggest sending Hercules an email to see what they say

[@Djbangerz74]

I want one ❤

[@joshuakopp1214]

buy the rmx 1 first, practically the same thing for half the price, I love mine

[@niiilas]

ok i found them thank you
