    Man does time fly. I bought the Hercules DJ Console MK2 back in 2005.
    I had no idea the company was still around and making good equipment.
    Nice review!

    Perfect for a strip club DJ, rarely mix, daily share a DJ space with another DJ, easy to travel to work with everyday and swapping out equipment with the day shift DJ.. as well as a small footprint, since theres other club business going on. As a 20yr pro DJ, this guy would be perfect.

    My boss invited a couple of employees to her house this Saturday. She asked me if I could bring some music and DJ. I literally just ordered the Starlight for this very occasion, because I really don't want to show up with my bulky Numark NVII. The tiny little thing seems PERFECT for this type of event!

    I picked one up just to play with MIXXX and stream online for some friends without having to use my larger setup. I love the compactness and even remapped some aspects to fit my workflow. Only complaint is I feel like the jogwheels aren't very responsive. Like I'll start to turn one, and it takes a second for things to suddenly catch up and the controller to see I'm doing something. Not sure if it's a MIXXX issue or the controller.
    Not the end of the world. It was an $80 controller for fun. I do love how this one has some means for EQ while others done. So I can use the bass when I'm doing long blends. Might remap the quick effect/bass filter to control gains.
    Not regretting my purchase at all. Will still use and play with it. :)

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @AlexMoschopoulos
      @AlexMoschopoulos 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, trying again I found more sensitivity with the jog wheels. I think it's just me using a new MIDI control and thus I have to get the feel for how it works compared to my current setup.

      Yeah I would have to use wired anyway if i want a two-speaker set-up. But if it's a small setting where I need only one speaker, IF the bluetooth offers very low latency, then I'll use it that way.

    I’m more of a turntablist type of DJ, but I’ve been thinking of getting one for little quick, get in and get out type of gigs. It’s a pain to load up the turntables sometimes, specially when you know the people don’t really care for tricks. Only concern, is that it looks like a toy.

    As an experienced DJ, I found it annoying that I'm not able to adjust the width of the 8 +/- Pitch Fader.
    Also, not being able to scroll and select from the library using the controller is a drawback.
    I've had some fun with it, but it's those couple drawbacks that keep it from shining for somebody looking to be more creative on the move.
    Hope this helps!

    Great review! I am just trying to learn how to DJ. I am very interested this controller, but no EQ for high and mid is little concern. It is not clear for me that having no EQ is critical or not as a beginner DJ. If it is, is there any way to adjust EQ with the controller (or laptop) or EQing bass is enough for now?
    Again, thank you for the great video :)

      In all the years I've DJ, I hardly touch the tone controls. That has only come about with electronic music and DJ'ing, it's not a requirement at this level. If you are learning get the basics down first. You are not going to sound like Carl Cox your first time out anyway..

    I mean if you buy a controller, you’re probably going to continue to dj and so try to buy a bigger controller so I would directly buy a big one (2 decks for example) to not waist a lot of money. This is more a travelling controller, like a little vacation with friends or something

      Since I do have a "full" controller (mcx8000) and a license to serato dj pro I've actually mapped the sampler section to do some other stuff: going up and down in the library, switch library view and toggle between 8,16 and 50% pitch. For loading a track I've offered up the shift+cue combo. Brilliant little controller!

    it's just way too small. it's good enough for late night practice with your headphones on or maybe while travelling between gigs but that's it. the jogs are too small and a newbie would have trouble switching to another controller with a normal sized jogs or even to cdjs.
