Value For Money : Poor
Former owner with the first DJ Console Extremely disappointed I was ... Why you say? For a lot of reason to explain ... Not such a deception is very simple this is not a dj, it&#39;s just a sound card to "mumuse" on his pc! Seriously, the knobs are very hard and unreliable, the readability of the console is zero, there are 4 buttons per cm ² ... I chose to pay me this toy to start the mp3 mix and I say "ah, finally in a mix of direct interface usb" as it was for me the only important criterion and not the full range of functions that integrate the two balls console.
Pc: Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2/XP 1900 + / 512MB
I used this first version by linking my pc and my cd player and yes on the first version you could also put 2 and not on innovation at the MK2 so I say he has a point again ...

Sincerely I would say the first time I had the console two days before I have to understand and above all to find all the functions of the console! It&#39;s true we need to understand the subtle detail to enable the micro for example ... you have to press on the knob of the microphone, so imagine if you turn the knob ... wanting to activate it you&#39;ll find yourself with the microphone at the bottom or vice versa without having the attention ... installation level I would say how long a product is as simple will say it, the software installed corect but it made me curious to install it first had to install the full range of drivers for the console and only then could connect the USB port on the console ... it reminds me of myself I was doing exactly the same with my adsl usb modem! short, I would say that the installation manual is as its name indicates an installation manual but not an instruction manual ... and it can become hard for someone who is not a regular computer praticante

The drivers are unstable in the sense I think it installs 3 or 4 and if you have a particular configuration pc just your drivers will be a little put to the test ... we must all embark drivers to use console in connection with the pc.
No Update to my knowledge and I&#39;ve scoured the site of Hercules ....
I used virtual dj console dj3 ... And I would say it is the whole problem of this machine if you think about biznes you can only use the software and your console no longer serves you is nothing if not that of USB interface! or if you have the choice really is to use your console but this time the virtual dj it no longer serves as MP3 player at the same way as winamp ... I sincerely incline ie for the first solution only use virtual dj and just like the console above the USB interface software provides a BPM counter and all the rest only console that can do ...

I had the dj console for about a year and sincerment is a bit of shame in the evening ... I would say the first thing I most is being able to work with my pc but after I say that the problems come quickly in performance, not finishing top, the same button layout and finally the sound quality that has nothing to do with a real mixer ... When you want to be on a console fully illuminates the buttons is not there nothing phosphorescent stuff that reminds us of the stickers you see on the night we all had when we were kids ...
I would say the price / quality ratio is high it is a product for use that may have to do, Siner this is not a dj but a product for a pc computer gambler is the dream but it is useless
Sincerely I finally found the solution and it is not the least is the dream, I buy a mixer numark (already djs wakes up when we read that the model NUMARK DXM and I can tell you I take my foot! I quickly explained my solution: it is a simple mixer with traditional 2-port input / output USB so 2 player on the PC Card and therefore 2 its integrated USB directly into the mixer drivers no longer need is recognized as a usb mp3 usb for each input that is then assigned to its codecs usb pc the mixer and rolled youth! ! The best thing is that in addition to two USB inputs that you can turn to be Parallel 2 phono turntables cd turntables or 2 is not top that?? the end for my solution just then to have a good mix of download on pc for example we can continue to use virtual dj but hey it is not great either before and after the music ...
