 Excellent product September 9, 2009

Having the proper mixer is one of the most important equipments for a mobile Dj. This is that mixer. I initially bought the Hercules MKII, but returned it when I found this one for $80 dollars more. It's been fantastic and user friendly. Using Virtual DJ, you can program up to 12 different effects((6 per deck). I use it for mobile gigs and all I bring is my laptop, hard drive, powered(pre amped) speakers, and this mixer...then I'm good to go. You can even control your music videos and of course Karaoke. I've even used this mixer to plug into the club(that I guest DJ at) and it has worked great. Other Dj's compliment me on the mixer once they try it. I don't use it for scratching, I plug my cd decks to the mixer though and do the scratching through them. Yes, you can plug either turntables or CD decks. Again, A Must for mobile DJ's.

I have decided to write two different reviews for this product. One of them will be for the beginner, and the other will be for the advanced user of products such as these.
Beginner's Review:
The Hercules RMX the best entry to mid-level midi controller on the market for those looking to get into the world of mixing. While pricier than other controllers, the RMX has the most and best amount of software options to choose from. The Hercules may be somewhat difficult for beginners to set-up right out of the box, but once you do, playing is a breeze. The RMX comes with Virtual DJ software specifically mapped for the product, so you automatically can start to enjoy mixing your music library. Not only that, you are also given a carry-on bag, and lengthy instruction manual on the basics of scratching and mixing. You'll be on your way to hosting parties in no time.
Tech Review:
The Hercules RMX is a multi-faceted midi controller used to control software dj programs such as Virtual DJ, Traktor, or for use in live mixes like Ableton live. It comes with a metal casing, and is a dedicated soundcard, having four input / output plugs. The RMX doesn't come with any type of additional connectors besides the usb cable, so you will have to provide your own stereo jacks.
The controller can be set up for any type of gig. You can run your vinyl turntables or CD players through it, and have multiple outputs, so you can mix at a venue while broadcasting live on radio or internet stream. The buttons can be configured to have little to no lag between interfaces, and the jog wheels can be used to do various DJ scratching. Do NOT expect to scratch like a pro on the jog wheels, they are no substitute for actual vinyl.
The most important thing about the RMX are the drivers, and thankfully Hercules has updated them for windows 7 and Mac compatibility. Many midi controllers on the market selling still are only Vista capable, so be wary of other products like this. They also have a huge support forum, and an excellent customer service record. Expect that if you're having problems, you can google the issue and find the answer.
The RMX comes with Virtual DJ Basic. The software is subpar, and you're probably better off using programs like Traktor or Abelton, which give you more freedom with effects and midi mapping. Those products cost money, so expect to shell out another 400 dollars for a good version of the software.

I work as a DJ and this thing is great for the smaller, non-club gigs. Integrates great with a Mac, using Virtual DJ, which comes with it. Mixing is pretty easy, but to me, not as easy as turntables. Could be my age though. :) I like that it gives me access to a huge library of songs, without having to bring in crates of records. If this is important to you, this is a good console to get. Like I said, perfect for the smaller, non-club gigs, where you might need to pull any number of songs.
I think this would be good from everybody from the beginner to the pro making a living from mobile gigs. Solid construction that will last you a long time. Easy to figure out and enough bells and whistles to get the job done.

I love this device, along with the Virtual DJ software. Aside from a few lame copyright protections on some of my favorite MP3s beatmixing with this system is a blast!

For Dj's from all walks of life! I recently purchased my console, and I think this is about to be the best summer of my life. The scratching effects are insane, considering this is a somewhat small device compared to the real deal!! Connect it to that MAC, you will feel like you on top of the world. I recommend this to anyone who loves mixing and putting effects on songs!
