Hercules DJ Console 4-MX Digital DJ Controller Review Video

[@ahatsios]

Can i connect only one electro voice active speaker?

[@brownboy1994]

would it be better to get this or the numark mixtrack pro

[@tdralle115]

@RealDJblaze oh yeah, don't see many reviews with this much detail so it was a great way to get an idea of what I'd be getting. and Thanks for the quick response, I plan on purchasing pro so I'm guessing they have a work around in there for some kind of keylock

[@20001965]

I'll use it for my web radio. Does the microphone signal route into the software of pc in order to make live streaming?

[@consti_rx]

Thanks man! I watched so many videos and you explained it that I understand it. I'm so lucky that I found this video

[@kareem_the_dream]

Thanks for watching! Glad its still useful after all these years.

[@77jcrm]

@tdralle115 I don´t know if the VDJ 7 LE has the key lock, but the PRO version has a locker icon on the right side of the pitch control. just click on it to activate

[@shatteredy.s1266]

can i map buttons like the jog wheel or some knobs to do exactly what i want , - i want the jog wheels to be a search (seek position) button and my pause button to be a play button .. or even my tempo fader to be a volume fader.... can i do these unusual changes with the virtual dj program ?...

[@Thejardos]

Hey man listen I just installed the thing but only half of the mixer works on me and the other two sides where the jogs go don't work what do I do ? All I have it hooked up to is just the USB?

[@sukid4life]

I want to buy a dj console but im thinking of buying the Hercules Dj 4-set. Is this one worth the 100 more ?

[@Shmeeka]

As my first console, should I go with the Hercules RMX or should I go with the Hercules 4-MX?

[@SaberForce]

and also, at the back side of the controller there are 2 lock/unlock switches, set them on unlock

[@Perrito6661]

does it have its own sound card or you have to buy one??

[@Perrito6661]

there are only mappers for traktor and i want to use this unit with vdj ?? any other sites you could recommend??

[@RIC0TE]

Hi, you have the skin of this 4 mx virtual dj?

[@KooKooNutella]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, i'm new to this.. But could I plug in an iPod into the external input??

[@PistoleroGordito]

can you use the computer speakers as your sound source or do you have to get separate speakers?

[@balitanghiphop]

hi im planning to buy this console.. due to it's phono line. i whant to hook up- 2 turntable.. you said "Cannot use internal soundcard for external timecode decks (must have separate soundcard device )" do i need to get also a serato 2 for timecoding? or i just need. 4MX - DJ console 2 Turntable 2 Timecode Vinyl and VirtualDj DJ pro. thank you in advance

[@neolightproductions]

seems the rmx has better connection. Like xlr for microphone and for outputs.

[@cigartenders]

Hercules 4mx or the Numark N4??? Im thinking the N4 stand alone mixer??

[@durbanpoison84]

great review... one question, would this console be able to plug into a club's sound system.. ie do a gig in a club??

[@DJPsylum]

@MrROFLMAO921 i'll assume you're not asking for an intro song, and you need more of a stripped down beat to practice on, just google DJ tools or DJ tool tracks, you will find a lot of tools on beatport as well

[@xxdarkage007xx]

Comparing this one to the rmx 2 which one is better overall?

[@xDIEGOxGAMERx]

I want to buy one but im not sure which one to buy if the 4-mx or the ddj wego, so i wanna know which one is best

[@Lamont2086]

can you use tracktor dj instead of software thats comes with it

[@thisDUDE]

Just bought this controller and was wondering how it has held up since you've had it..?

[@tdralle115]

GREAT VIDEO amazing detailed info, exactly what I was looking for, Only question is, I'm basically sold on the 4-MX but one thing i really wish/hope is on this and I'm just not seeing it is like on the Numark pro Is it has a keylock for speed changing without losing the key the song is on, is there a feature for that in VDJ 7 pro? I don't recall Haven't used VDJ in forever but this would make it the perfect fit + like

[@yedi9496]

i bought this controller but now i need the software for windows 8.1 do you know where i can get it? i have the cd but for windows 7. i hope you can help! thanks

[@technofr3ak100]

-_- having trouble setting this up, the left and right sides aren;t lightning up at all and dont work when i launch virtual dj... help plz

[@astonedcoma]

Surely you could use this standalone. All you'd need is one of those wall plugs which has a USB connector on it and you'd be good to go, unless it won't operate without being connected to software.

[@Melissa05121992]

Can i ask ur opinion is this model ok? HERCULES DJ CONSOLE CONTROLLER MP3 E2 What means Controller mp3 itz mean ?

[@DjJivajo]

Hey DJ Blaze! Loving the reviews man! I don't know what controller to get i'm kinda confused, but that's not what I'm here for... How come there can't be any decks hooked up to the inputs without another external sound card? Cheers, Jivajo

[@Mwarrior13]

which is better this or the VSM 4?

[@georgemrtnz1]

I know you don't have this mixer/controller. But thank for posting the video....I want to be a "bedroom dj" not for hire. And I was looking at this...and your video concreted my mind to go ahead and buy it. Thanks at guitar center they have a package with powered speakers for $600 bucks do you think this is a good price?

[@DatSoulBoss]

Mine just arrived today & it's a big disappointment. When installing the drivers, the software opens another installation window, which makes it impossible for the drivers to be installed. how did you get the drivers to install correctly? I've been at it for hours, uninstalling, reinstalling the drivers from the Hercules site, uninstalling & reinstalling while holding down the mic on/off button & the drivers still won't load properly. Big diasappointment.

[@fdusoccer2]

if I have a cracked version of virtual dj pro 7. will i have to map the controller myself?

[@stabamatador]

PLEASE HELP! just bought this controller and everything works great except the headphones dont work. I am using an mbox mini as my soundcard. What am I doing wrong??

[@cachetesflaco]

Help me how to connect CD players, the sound come out but I'm not able to control the volume. Thank you .

[@Thejardos]

Thanks man I got it now all I had to do was update the drivers it's all good thank you!!!!!!!

[@joselikescars]

how is the sound quality?

[@fredrikf8982]

So it is ok to buy it??

[@KnightCdeleon1]

DJBlaze, Thanks for the info man. I just bought this controller and am hoping to input samples from my ipad via the rca connectors. Will this work?!

[@Perrito6661]

where can i find alternate mappers for it???

[@steveskoupa1]

i cant use my pioneer cdj 100s with this console?? in analog input??i can t play with my laptop and my pioneer in real time?together??

[@XxNTxX1]

Hi do you use any speaker for the herculus ?

[@g40chris]

Im thinking of getting this to run a laptop and my numark DDS. If i decide not to use a laptop can it be powered off the usb ports on the numark dds or will it not work because its not a laptop.

[@jesuslujan82]

[@djbrother4852]

[@shatteredy.s1266]

[@Antolszak11]

is this compatible with the ipod?

[@brownboy1994]

Would this work with Traktor

[@321murf123]

is the hercules dat bad?

[@soyyo9704]

Hi, I am a beginner, I am looking to get a used mixer controller metal chasi, would this be okay for me to learn? Thank you

[@RealDJblaze]

This is too old... Check out the new Numark Mixtrack Pro or Pioneer DDJ-400...

[@shadows80345]

What kind of cheap speakers could I use with this?

[@gabrysalerno6059]

Good product, Is valid use in time 2021 👌👍 rmx2 for Life for me 💖

[@kareem_the_dream]

Sorry for the super-late response, but yes, this is still a good controller in 2022!

[@عمادبونور]

what is the best software you recommend for this dj controller

[@kareem_the_dream]

The one it comes with or Virtual DJ

[@djjammer210]

Do you know how much it is to upgrade to virtual Dj pro with this controller?

[@RealDJblaze]

Yes, i believe its about $300...

[@Assuredterror391]

Could you message me a list of your top 5 controllers of your choice?

[@BecomingEugen]

hello, tnx for this fine review! have you tried hooking a microphone with it? Does it work out of the box with the normal USB cable or do i need a powered USB hub?

[@RealDJblaze]

Works with a normal USB cable connected to your computer. The Microphone works good on this.

[@BecomingEugen]

uh that would be trully great specially it has a talk-over function build in hardware so it's not dependable on the software u using! comparing to my numarkns7 II that cost almost 10 times over and do't have even a preamp ;)

[@isaacr8051]

Hi, could I use on the 1 and 2 outputs 1/4inch TRS Male to XLR Female Cable? are you sure the outputs are balanced ?

[@isaacr8051]

thank you my friend!!

[@YN07718]

Do you have to have the cd if I plug it in will it just set me up to download it

[@RealDJblaze]

You have to download it from their website...

[@im666ur555]

I have this controller and it works awesome! One question though, my LEDs on the decks are not lighting up when touched. Any help or suggestions?

[@emilelaurent8406]

look at the back of your controler and turn the buttuns

[@shadows80345]

Could I use the Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506?

[@joselikescars]

@RealDJblaze well the sound quality is good for a small gig, but for bigger events, it's not. I've heard that the denon mc 6000 has better sound quality but of course it's double the price of the vms4. But i will probably buy it

[@20001965]

So it can't be use for that purpose..... Thank you for your answer!!!

[@steveskoupa1]

Channels C and D I DONT WANT TO USE VIRTUAL.I WANT TO USE ONLY ANALOG.I CAN T MAKE THIS INSIDE FROM THE PROPERTIES OF VIRTUAL DJ? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.STEVE FROM GREECE

[@Steglichii]

Can someone tell me some good song to start off mixing on?

[@joselikescars]

@RealDJblaze oh because i have the american audio vms4, but sound quality is poor for bigger events, and i have a 150 dollar mixer that sounds louder and better. So i'm looking to get something better.

[@durbanpoison84]

thanks for the reply.. appreciate it!! again, great review!

[@crankcatapult6867]

Does this work with both Ipods?

[@RealDJblaze]

+Crank Catapult I don't think this works with any iPod...

[@jasminebobrik3112]

Thanks! I impulsively bought this for $50 and didnt know anything haha

[@stabamatador]

@stabamatador I am using virtualdjpro

[@josephhunter5508]

dose it work with virtual dj 8

[@RealDJblaze]

+Joseph hunter Yes it does...

[@333kostas]

Ergo V or Hercules 4mx?

[@RealDJblaze]

That's a toss up... Maybe the Numark N4 as well... The 4 MX has the best build quality, but all other features seem similar enough. Hercules has small jog wheels though...

[@333kostas]

Aha, thanks bro!

[@shatteredy.s1266]

yes i did , and i have done a 4 deck mix with speed changes and a 3 songmashup in the middle .. check my sound cloud in my youtube channel

[@shatteredy.s1266]

thanks!.. gonna buy this..

[@cigartenders]

Thanks Bro!

[@ShaqVega]

just buy this controller..and have one cuestion? only working for 10 minutes and turn off

[@RealDJblaze]

Not sure what's happening to you there. Sounds like you are using a trial version of some software, but you should be using the free software this comes with...

[@ShaqVega]

i have virtual dj pro... maybe i need to change de card audio...tank you

[@nuroko]

very nice you help'd me very well

[@YouriHL]

lol, 'bedroom djs' .. haha .. I bought this one next to my pioneer dual cdj900s and djm800 setup, to take with me when im asked to perform on party's etc ;) I love this device, but I háte VirtualDJ. VDJ LE is very limited, so I upgraded to VDJ 7, only to find out that this piece of software does not work properly with this device on W7 Ultimate X64. VDJ didn't want to refund me the money, so I sold it on ebay (for a lot less :( ) and bought Traktor Pro 2 instead. Works WAY better ! Nice Review !

[@Melissa05121992]

Thanks...i will search for better one :)

[@im666ur555]

No, the Numark Mixtrack or iDJ controller is a toy. Lol.

[@Hopkins132]

yea but thats 100$ more.

[@mitchgraymcmaster]

its cheaper.

[@edessacustodio2800]

too much talking please demo mixing and record now

[@Ras1Roy]

This Is A Toy

[@deejayslyatticot5052]

does it work with serato dj
