I've had mine since November and, I must say,, I am absolutely loving it. I think the RGB lights are fine for brightness - on a PC anyway. It's a shame Hercules didn't go for a USB 3.0 interface though as that would allow for a higher bitrate and more power to the unit - but, again, the brightness of the pads is fine on a PC so maybe use a powered USB hub if you're using a notebook/laptop. DJuced is pretty good in my opinion so I've just been using that, even though I tried Rekordbox 6 (crowded and small UI), Serato Pro (ugly UI), Serato Lite (pretty useless with only four hot cues) and Traktor (meh). It is a delight to use and I'm enjoying finding all the little bits and bobs. It's a lot to get used to after so many years using old software (MixMeister Pro 6 - don't laugh to hard please, it's all I had) but I reckon I'm doing pretty well so far. Well worth the money. I'm on all the streaming platforms, just trying to get some mixes out there but subs would be greatly appreciated ;-)

Came to watch this review because I was on Best Buy's website to see if they could repair my DJ controller. Stumbled upon this and was like "wait, only $300???" Equivalent gear from Pioneer would be pushing into 500 at least for the same features. This seems like a flagship DJ controller, minus only having 2 decks, no dedicated fx, and a short pitch fader. Incredible for the price.

@willmayhew42562 жыл бұрын
I have been Djing for about a year and love this deck. Recently, however, I have started more complicated transitions that involve heavy use of layered effects. The only way to use 2 effects at once is to assign both knobs to one deck which has to be done manually using a mouse (on serato pro at least). This is not ideal when I then need to apply an effect to the other deck. I am going to try djuced (which i have been reluctant to do because of how much I spent on serato pro) to see if the fx are configured better like on a mode of the pads. A dedicated fx section would have made this deck unbeatable.

I prefer this controller to the DDJ-800 now even if the DDJ-800 has more features (including a dedicated FX section). I got the Impulse 500 used in “like new” condition for $240 including sales tax and it was basically an open box item. So I was definitely lucky in that buy haha. I use Algoriddim’s Djay Pro for my software instead of Rekordbox since AlphaTheta is charging an arm and a leg for subscription. I also use an iPad Pro instead of a laptop for my DJing as I prefer it to a Macbook. More portable and I use SoundCloud GO+ and Apple Music which are integrated into that DJ software app. I have a question though, can either of the pair of outputs be a booth output? E.g. the RCA outputs are for the master channel and the 1/4 or 6.5mm jack outputs are for booth monitoring? And vise versa?
@djcarlo6 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, this doesn't have a booth output per say. But you can use both at the same time to connect them to the main room speakers, and a booth monitor. Only caveat is that you won't be able to adjust the volume of your booth speaker from your controller

Comparison between ddj flx 4 & hercules inpulse 500??

@DJ Carlo Atendido ??Question 4 U?? First like to say very much appreciate your reviews on dj equipment & beginner vids, informative and your honesty "it's ok when startin to rip music from” uhh a certain social video network channel 😆 Having thought now...Last thing I ever ripped was one of those AOL mailer disk in the 90s Anywhos a musician of 30+ yrs couple months ago thinking with all the down time I'd learn to dj. My only problem is when making any major purchases or investment on a item, I have a tendency to spend 6 months to a yr researching it first, course by the time I finally do make the purchase a newer model on the shelves. To mention I very very rarely hardly never buy first gen of a product, I digress. Having searched (or I may haved overlooked ) through your channel I don't see any reviews for the Roland dj 202 or the Roland dj 505 or the 707? They seem like an excellent equipment for a beginner? course my opinion may be a lil biased having grown up in the ago of The TR-808 As for any video reviews on The Roland dj products, I've found a few but predominantly it's The Pioneer & The Numark, idk for The Reloop Mixon 4 seems decent too? Again what I know that's why I'm asking you The Pro, for I value your opinion or any thoughts you may have on The Roland dj products. Thank you sir

Wow! Thanks for searching my channel about the beginner controllers! And you're right about not mentioning Roland in my list like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbUe2NrfLV3q9E But thanks for sharing your thoughts about the brand! Maybe in the future I can make more reviews about their product!

I will play for about 30 people in an outdoor venue. I'm going to rent two qsc k12 and a kw181 sub. 1) how will my basic all-in-one Hercules input 300 sound with these? Is the sound card good enough to give a good quality or at least decent sound? Or do I absolutely need a mixer

What is better? The inpulse 500 ore Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX? I have the DDJ 400, but only 1 Effect to choose is not so good. Its easyer when i can choose 1 from 4 Effects with only one Button.
@djcarlo4 жыл бұрын
If your style is to add more than one effects, then this might be your controller! But I don't usually overdo it!
@JuggernautProductions4 жыл бұрын
I think manufacturers deliberately leave out features so you eventually buy more expensive equipment. For example the effect section.

@@djcarlo i guess 🙂 i was using an hercules Air S Series for 2 yrs because I'm a deejay and everyone makes fun of me for having a small dj controller and other DJ's are using big controllers and i couldn't afford one. And few days back 200 people came to my dj club and after seeing my small dj controller they just left 😞 and my manager got angry at me and they said if i didn't buy a big one u will be fired. And i don't have enough money . So i posted my phone online for sale ( still noone came). And in selling my old dj machine the small one ( still noone came). And i asked a friend and it cost like Indian rupees 42000 and it's not even affordable for me it's like 500$. And i asked a friend and he have pioneer DDJ RB. And he told me to pay half now. Then pay others half before June 15. It is till a small controller . But I'm thinking i should use my 2 controller in same desk and use it so it looks like 4 deck. Everyone are not rich as u bro. There are lot of stuggling DJ's like me. Taking families priorities in hands. Especially indian families are joint familys there will be grandma and mom and sis all living together and the whole priorities forcefully in my hand and i work 3 jobs to help my family

i’ve watched many reviews of this controller and i’m really convinced in buying it but there’s only one thing i can’t get straight: is the software djuced comparable with serato dj pro or does it have the same “limitantions” as serato dj lite? Thanks in advance for any reply (possibly)

For me, DJuced is better than Serato Lite, but way more limited in features compared to Serato Pro. It's somewhere in the middle

Whats your favourite in that jogwheel-case? And ist there a "feeling different" betweeen Platinum & Pro FX - do you have more space for fingers? or is it just that display?
