Hello all!!
Just goto say after receiving my Hercules DJ Console in the post yesterday and having a play around with it last night! I'm took back on how cool this little device is!

I have used Vinyl and CD Decks for nearly 10 years now and was very skeptical about mp3 mixing, but it works like a charm with this little box of tricks! having my whole mp3 collection with fx,looping etc at arms length mixing away on my powerful monitor speakers!

Great stuff team! VDJ and Hercules keep up the good work!

If you think the Hercules console is cool, buy the full version of VDJ and burn yourself a cd of the VDJ timecode, or perhaps purchase some time coded vinyls and use your turntables.

You'll have all the neat abilities you've already seen (and a few more in the full version), plus you'll be able to control it all from your old faithful turntable/CDDJ setup!

Already one step ahead, timecoded vinyl is on order :-)
also looking at getting full ver next month, what are the differences between hercules ver and full ver ? (Sorry if this has been asked a million times)

difference between full version and Hercules version is here:

Most important would be the ability to use more than one soundcard, or having 2x stereo out from your hercules to connect to external mixer


And dont worry about Bargler! ;) hehe... I LOVE my hercules too! ;) its a nice litte all-in-the-box thing


But sure, timecode cd's w/ external mixer is a lot more pro, and ALOT more expencive! ;)
The hercules is a good start, even a good tool for small time djs

I still bring it to my club, although I do use timecode cd's with Pioneer 1000s decks and external mixer
Sometimes its just good to have the controller also :)

And its GREAT for home use/home practice and radio broadcast etc etc

I like it, and have no problems saying so... sorry bargler :) hehe

Glad you started Rune...hehe

Life is great .....I go to work at the club with my console,laptop,headphone....that's all
Go with the full version you won't be disappointed

When did I get nominated to be the resident Hercules hater, Norway? LOL!
Am I going to have to hook mine back up so I can get the DJ Console tag under my name again? I wish I had XP10 and DJ Console under my name so people wouldn't assume I'm bashing them! I own them! :)
