All user reviews for the Hercules DJ Console Mk2

I am a professional DJ and I use it with a lai s presso asus home and a 160 GB hard drive I use a card derrire soudcraft K1

Personally I dj virtual DJ 3.3 so I did not have the galrer n SERIES.
Installation is quite simple and it works well as a trs sound card

I use it with virtual DJ 3.3 that I find really not bad at all. What I find really good on this new card from THE FIRST version is that you can send the two tracks on a real table with real equalizer as it is for me the great weakness of the concept, it works well trs but nothing beats a good meal to the mix. Otherwise, mix the tempo with a tool such games is a child who has a little rhythm and a smattering of loops and tempo

I use it for one month but before I used the old Hercules DJ console. what I love most: this function to send the signal of the two spar decks on a real table, virtual DJ 3.3 that I find really nice with loops of 16 and even 32 times.
I remake this same choice, but still complment my turntables and NUMARK NUMARK my table and that SOUNDCRAFT them are sound. Whereas the hardware must be complment DJ but not as replaceable and then I had a dj live galre computer with a laptop and sounds so unbearable hum if you opt for this Systm, nothing beats a power supply with a real shuttle. In fact it's great practice for the titles we are asked to measure such forward penultimate Eddy Mitchell for a 40-year anniversary. we all have this capacity to mp3 in a corner of the hard drive but not on CD!

I HAVE PURCHASED FROM AN DAC3 AND C IS THE DAY AND NIGHT ...!! 3 IS THE CAR REMOTE WHICH ADDRESS PROS. LA is still a dj mk2 PRODUCT "AMATEUR" the look "gadget"

Frankly there is nothing better for beginners ^ ^! Moreover it is very practical to animate a night with a PC and a console =). I confess that, for transfort is the least galre. Single with many effects on Virtual DJ.

It took me a while to understand but I think against the installation is simple. No worries of the cot. The manual is quite comprehensive VirtualDJ.Com.

Not talking about pretty crappy drivers ... Ca Trsdcu but fortunately occurs only beginners.

I really AIM how you can enrengistrer brodcaster etc ... It Gniale for a mix at home. As against the audio outputs are quite devastating, but hell-bent on grsillements. Everything to spoil an evening with the sound enough lev. I do not know if this is due to a defect in my console but in any case I would do more choice. I use it for a year, I DCID of Mixer Virtually the same software but with turntables and vinyl timecode (Virtual Vinyl Numark Virtual DJ =). Virtual DJ is excellent, the console less.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?

External audio card with two inputs and two audio outputs.

- For what purpose?

I use it with real turntables and vinyl timecode Virtual DJ. It turns the thunder god

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

Toshiba Laptop Dual core, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB disk space, ATI HD 2600.

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?

mixer numark gemini and TTUSB turntable plugged into the console Hercules.

- The installation is done it without problems?

I have not had a big problem we try two or three times and then we do not touch anything

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

NO

- The general configuration is easy?

No problem

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

No need for manual

- The drivers are stable?

Well here I have installed two or three times to find the right setting but after it's cool.

- Are they often updated?

Every year a new version comes out, I think. It depends on the version of Virtual DJ in my case.

- What software do you use most often?

Virtual DJ

- What you get lag?

Very good result, I did not perceive the difference with real turntables since I scratch with real plates but with the interface of Virtual DJ

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...

2

- How long have you use it?

1 year the Hercules console MP3 and 2 weeks for Hercules Console MK2

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Plus, the role of external sound card that allows me to scratch with vinyl timecode.
Least, the ergonomics of the crossfader, which forces us to buy a mixer and more.
(They could have put the crossfader in the Hercules RMX)

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

The Hercules Console MP3

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Decent enough for each console hercules

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I know it depends what you want to do, an RMX in place or else two technics turntables technics + the table cost € 1000 but no savings on the purchase of vinyl. As I scratch in my MP3s with real turntables.

The only thing I blame is the cross fader from the console. They changed the size of the jog wheels compared to the console while it is MP3 that they would cross the narrowing because there when we play with the cross bah scratch it too.

Characteristics that motivated my choice is,
1 that this is a sound card in its own right (independent of the system)
2 prices

I use to mix when I got my turntables loinde .....

Fairly simple installation of windows xp, mac parcontre galley I still ......

the manual is too vague .....

Fun to use, very convenient to mix mp3's like that, especially it is its portable top c (travel, etc. ....)

kla latency is very good on my pc

Basically a small table c very nice and convenient for transportation, p'tites evenings without taking the head ....

but do not make use pro !!!!!

value for money is very correct

say that I do not regret that choice for the use I make, but to use pro mix mp3 c even bother .... must be seen m audio Xponent or vestax vci 300 ....
Here I add this comment after 6 months of use of the beast, an observation? boring .... And yes, we are limited too fast! more ergonomics makes me want to throw it out the window after an hour or two ....
However, it's still fun to set the mood ....

I think the move soon vestax vci!!

Features that motivated my choice:
1. It's a full-featured sound card (standalone system)
2. Price
I use it to mix when I'm away from my turntables...


Rather easy installation under Win XP. On the other hand, I still have problems with a Mac...
The user's manual is too imprecise...


It's fun to use it and it's easily transportable. It's really nice to have the possibility to mix MP3 files.
Very short latency on my PC.



Nice, transportable and convenient compact mixer for small performances.
I don't plan to use it for professional applications!!
Good value for money.
I don't regret having bought it, given the use I give it, but buy something else for professional MP3 mixing applications. In this case, you'd better choose M-Audio Xponent or vestax vci 300.
I'm adding the following comment after six months of use: It turns tedious... Too many limitations! Its unergonomic design makes you wanna throw it away after two hours of use...
But it's still fun to warm up...

I plan to buy a Vestax VCI!!
