| Great for begginners | 2010-08-24 | 4 / 5 |
| | awesome product and great for begginners. the only problem i have with it is the pitch control. not precise enought to perfect beat match.. which is what the point of djing is... i'm new and found this to work well for the price to learn on though. |
| Great Product, Easy To Use!! | 2010-08-23 | 5 / 5 |
| | I recently bought this console and I have no regrets so far. Its easy to use and configure, the software is great and its light and easy to travel around with. Would recommend it to anyone who likes to dj. |
| Awesome... | 2010-08-09 | 4 / 5 |
| | When i first ordered this item i was skeptical of how it would work being so small compared to all the other turntables you guys have, but it seemed to be the only one that worked with virtual dj. Since the first house party i did with this, it was much better than just using a mouse and keybored. This is a great dj console for those who use VDJ. |
| Quality Interface, Lousy Software | 2010-07-21 | 4 / 5 |
| As the title of my review says, I'm going to break this down into two parts:
The Interface
Let me preface by saying I'm an amateur DJ who upgraded to this interface from the M-Audio X-Session Pro, which was a pretty big step. The Hercules RMX is a truly sexy piece of hardware. The metal casing looks ultra professional and it's nice and heavy (unlike the other one I had, which is made of plastic and feels like a toy). All of the controls feel like quality, from the smooth action of the faders to the satisfying click of the buttons to the easy action of the jog wheels. Many of the buttons are even illuminated with blue LEDs to help you see what's going on. My favorite part is the pitch/tempo faders, which have a tactile click at 0% - brilliant. It even comes with a decent Hercules-branded carrying case. For the price point, it's worth every cent - but if you have the means, the M-Audio Xponent has a LOT more controls on the interface (more on that product in a minute).
The Software
Truly the worst installation experience I've ever had. Just awful. I'm using a 2.2GHz MacBook Pro (about four years old) with 4GB of RAM and OSX 10.6.3. From the very beginning I could tell that the installation software was written for PCs and ported (BADLY) to the Mac. The drivers gave me all kinds of problems until I got the new ones off the Hercules website then removed and re-installed VirtualDJ. Then, on top of that, the VirtualDJ LE software that comes bundled with this product is AWFUL. Maybe I was spoiled by the Torq LE that came with my X-Session, but VDJ LE does so close to nothing as to make it practically worthless. And when I maximized the window, it was pixelated, ugly, and illegible. Definitely not the kind of thing I'd be proud to show people at an event. I never had any of these issues with Torq - it's clean, beautiful, and clearly been tested in the Mac OS environment. So here you are with an absolutely rockin' piece of hardware but no way to really enjoy it! I was livid. In the end, I had to upgrade to VirtualDJ Pro ($150, discounted from $300 by having bought this product) and was pretty happy with the result after I went and changed about half of the MIDI maps and messed with the audio settings until the headphones actually worked. HOWEVER, for the same amount of cash I could have gotten the M-Audio Xponent which comes with the full version of Torq - which to me seems like a better value, especially if you don't have a preference about what software you use.
Personally I prefer VirtualDJ over Torq, so this worked out okay for me, but I'm not ashamed to admit I sent an RMA request for this product three hours after opening it. Three and a half hours after that, I was finally up and running. If I could do it all over I would probably go with the Xponent. |
