Amazing how easy access the DJ business has become at these low level price points. Even more astounding is how feature packed these things are these days and how these controllers really have been equipped with all the tools to literally help you DJ as best as possible.

I'm always intrigued and more often impressed with the direction that Hercules goes with their controllers. Even the early RMX controllers had some features that others didn't. They aren't afraid to try new things/features. The go against the grain of the bigger players, and you have to give them credit for that. They are definitely upping their game, and DJuiced is becoming more robust with each version.

Just so everyone knows --- I already have one of these controllers, but Serato hasn't even released their software update to control the 500 yet --- I found out the hard way when spending 3 hours of trying to install/re-install their software would never find the hardware. DJUCED works fine of course. A software update will be forthcoming, so all these youtube video's of Serato running the 500 are very carefully edited. I am looking forward to the forthcoming update once it comes out.

By the time youve upgraded to Serato Pro, your in for 450 UK pounds already. So then your thinking what else i can get for around that. Well the Denon DJ MC7000 is still a current unit. Retailing for 600 UK pounds. But you get a full 4ch controller with a far superior specification. Inc that amazing ESS Sabre 32bit DAC. And you get Serato Pro, Serato Pitch Play, Serato Video, and Serato Flip all thrown in the box. So for £150 more you can get a lot more functionality.

At this point and at the same price, I buy the "MIXARS PRIMO" sound card much more performing, balanced outputs and booth output.

DVS ready line / phone inputs. and many other functions. for me the hercules should not cost more than 90 $, since it has no serato dj pro license included.
@digitaldjtips4 жыл бұрын
To be fair there's a $200 difference between these controllers they're not the same price, this is way more than a $90 controller regardless of whether it comes with Serato Pro (and actually from some stores it does which is an incredible deal!)
@digitaldjtips4 жыл бұрын
You said they were the same price, they're not - the Mixars Primo is an intermediate controller in function and price, this is a really well kitted out entry level controller which is more than fine for learning on. Yes if you've got the money the Mixars Primo is probably the better option.
@fredericsicsic93914 жыл бұрын
I am writing from Italy, in Italy the Hercules controller is sold for 300 euros without Serato DJ pro license instead the Mixars Primo is sold for 400 euros including the Serato DJ Pro hardware license that's why I commented that the Hercules cost like the Mixars Primo. having said that I believe that the Hercules controller is an ambiguous controller as it has too many LED indications. an entry level controller is normally addressed for the study to new people who approach the world of DJs. therefore to study, study it is necessary to use a controller that does not have any indication LED and the pitch fader must be as short as possible. otherwise you will not learn anything. to learn you must listen to music with your ear and not with your eyes !!! Hercules has too many LED indicators and functions that contradict the study method. and like when you send a child the first year to school without a pencil and notebook and send it with a tablet. obviously the child cannot learn to write with a tablet as with a pencil and notebook! Concluding my opinion, those who really want a controller to study must start with a controller that has the characteristics of the pioneer type of Sb2 or sb3 Roland 202.... Who is already one step ahead and wants to have a controller for parties or similar things that must be connected to a more professional system, the Hercules controller is certainly not the right product. in my opinion this controller only satisfies customers who fall into the sphere of marketing who want to have everything but in reality do not have what they actually need. for me a controller if born as an entry level must have all the criteria to use it for study purposes. otherwise if the controller is to be used for local club parties it must have all the dedicated outputs, therefore booth and master balanced outputs.@@digitaldjtips

This ia big big problem it will decrease your hand grip. Special hot aria if ur hand is a litle bit wet. So i planning to ccover by skin maybe it will give me good grip?

@SSS Fleet I returned my Mixtrack Pro after a week. I did not feel the jog wheels were responsive enough among other things. I replaced it with a DDJ-SB1 I found for $60 in mint shape on ebay and I'm much happier. No regrets.
@SomeGuyFromNY3 жыл бұрын
@SSS Fleet Yes. The metal wheels look sick. I almost bought cause I thought I looked outdated. That was before Mixxx became my dj software of choice. I heard it works good with Mixxx DJ.

Hi. Can you help please? I'm really interested between this and the Numark Platinum FX. But the only thing that is stopping me from purchasing the platinum fx is the limitor lights on the controller are all red (instead of green, orange and red) so I'm assuming the first and second bar is green? The third and fourth is orange? And last one is red? I like that the Hercules has long wide coloured limitors. I have expensive mixers, PA tops, subs, and studio monitors and I keep a very close eye on the limitors all of the time. Can you help me please?
@digitaldjtips3 жыл бұрын
Just don't let the lights hit the top and you'll be fine, this is a digital signal it's either clipping or it isn't

@@digitaldjtips brilliant mate. Thanks alot for that. On my way home now with my new Platinum Fx. Its my first controller and I've been wanting to dj for years and years. Even though I did my end of year party at the university of Leeds for my accommodation when I was there for 300 people+ I just used my mixers and pa setup. Glad I can do it professionally and Can't wait to use it 😊😀

@digitaldjtips3 жыл бұрын
You can record your mixes if you're using Serato Pro (it's nothing to do with the controller being used, it's the software that allows recording), the only way you wouldn't be able to is if you're using a streaming service in Serato as recording is then disabled

@digitaldjtips3 жыл бұрын
You'll struggle at £500, I'm guessing you'll probably want 4 channels with DVS compatibility. If you can push your budget a bit you could check out the Roland 707M, or perhaps just a digital mixer like the Numark Scratch to sit between your turntables and plug into a laptop
