Hercules DJControl Starlight Review - Good For New DJs?
Рет қаралды 181,017
Күн бұрынThe Hercules DJControl Starlight is a compact two-channel device meant to be used with Serato DJ Lite. It looks similar to the Numark DJ2GO2, except that it’s got touch-sensitive jogwheels that you can use for scratching. It also has lights going around the base of the unit that can sync with the music you're playing.
We check it out in this full review.

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. :)

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 :)

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!

Numark DJ2GO2... or Party-freaking-Mix!! Numark makes the best beginner-controller!

I have one & I have to disagree you cant scratch on it . I'm selling mines & buying this controller instead
@digitaldjtips 5 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's the big difference - the capacitive jogwheels on this make it possible to scratch on it.
@raynixv2 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, scratching is a BIG part of DJ'ing.. is it available for Virtual DJ?
@digitaldjtips 5 жыл бұрын
Almost certainly Virtual DJ already works with it.

The latency on the headphones for cueing is appalling

Good thing to know: you can only use SoundCloud & TIDAL to dj your music.

What about it's audio output quality?
@dj4monie 4 жыл бұрын
It's fine... No better or worse than what you would find in a mid-range internal PC sound card/external/headphone amp. All my Hercules equipment has excellent sound quality...

It's cool but with pitch bend like that your not gonna do much

It's certainly not designed as an "only" controller.

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!

Good little piece of kit but prefer the Numark DJ2GO2. Sits perfectly on your laptop, quick and easy to set up and start using when you're travelling. Both of these products can still be used as back up when you're at a gig and doesn't take up much of that 'premium' space.

Fair enough, thanks for your feedback!

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.

Good backup device too.

I'm a live sound engineer who mixes and there's always a controller next to my console, that I want to spin on. It's not the type venue to play with it though. They either want you to know how to OR not touch. Something like this would help familiarize timing and cues and at night I could spin a basic beginner mix
