5 out of 5 stars Midi player/mixer   November 13, 2009

I love my Hercules RMX, but as my shows are getting bigger I'm starting to produce some of my music and using more effects so I switched to the Steel. I love this mixer as I can program up to 12 effects and works great as a video mixer without paying the $6 grand for the pioneer. If I get that big, maybe I will cough up the money for the pioneer, for now this is under $250 and works great. I may one day get an effects controller to plug into my denon, for now this is the best of both worlds.

I am in no way a professional DJ but I do take this to house parties all the time, I recommend this product to any one with an interest in djing. All buttons and knobs are built durable and programable, the jog wheels provide great resistance and it works greatly with virtual dj. Its steel exterior and well made buttons show me that this will last quite a long time, also great for beginners to learn how to use a mixer as it is completely programable so you can change the function of everything relatively easy on vdj. Great product especially for the price range, unfortunately you do need to buy an external soundcard but those can be pretty cheap within the 60-100 dollar price range. The bag is also a great bonus for easy transporting. GREAT MIXER

Great Basic Dj Midi Mixer, Not that cheep made. really great for heavy use

if your in2 Laptop djing this 1 is great.but still u will need to use an extra sound card if your PC or laptop sound card isn't 4.1 or above.

if you want a device with a sound card go with the upper model of the Hercules dj control its called Rmx. if your using other midi mixers or already have a sound card get this.

Happy Spinning ^_^

Not a bad MIDI controller I use it for mixing. It is build really soild and the carrying case is convinient. My only grip is that there are no specific buttons for looping. Also the virtual DJ software is really crappy.
