Excellent review, short and summarised (i dont watch any review of more than 15 minutes). One niggling qn: how does the mic work? Is it good for PA. I am looking for a basic controller for youth and community engagement work for PA and some music (where i dont have to slug out a separate mixer etc)
DJ PHENOMENAL AJ from Trinidad , like that for a back unit . HERCULES LIKE THE 1220 STYLE AND YOU MISS THE HEAD PHONE QUE BOTTOMS TOTALLY YOU JUST BYPASS IT LIKE A FULL BUS :-) .. BUT GOOD BLOG.
Hey, great review! I wanted to know how to make the beats light indicators working, in your demo it stays on the first or the last beat as on my controller, do you know how this work? Thanks
Barr, what do you think of the Reloop Beatpad2 or Mixon 4? I am interested in these controllers as an upgrade. For a mid range controller what would you suggest or purchase? Thanks!
Bayardo A Rugama Thank u for the awesome videos u always upload i have a question tho if u had to recommend a beginner dj controller between the ddj-400 or the Hercules controller witch controller would u pick
DJ Ray Mobile Music I would take the SB3 over this every day of the week. You’ll be able to do much more with the Pioneer, and when someone is ready to upgrade to a professional level controller other pioneer models will feel familiar. No one talks about Hercules when they talk professional equipment.
Hey am strgerling two get songs on my computer for my djing. Culd you recommend a place two get downlode off song for my computer. And i just subscribe as well. 😊
@@BayardoRugama I mean that controller is bad ass but when that controller DJ Hercules steel controller came out in 2009 I bought it back in 2018 on eBay and the version DJ software that came with the controller was virtual DJ LE and I was mixing with it real good the controller was like top notch sure with the program but the setup is really easy to use and learn but the next following day and few months the chip failed
i had this controller- 2 units they sent were defective. in the middle of playing the jogwheel would stop responding. i got refunded. wish i could find one that didn't but have since moved on
I feel like there are better options in the same price range. Not knocking it. I use an 'entry level' controller still and this has some things I like better (booth output is RARE at this price, and the jogs are very nice). Just not sure I would label it the BEST beginner controller.
The pioneer sb2 is way better than this one. At least it comes with serato lite. This one comes with DJ juice.. Ewwww. Idk if you ever try it. But that software sucks big bulls balls. Lol.
JR 1322 wrong this controller comes w/SDJ Lite know your facts first and this has an LED jogwheel playhead indicator which most 2 ch controllers don’t have yet. It’s very convenient actually.
If anyone is actually serious about Djing, you should at least invest in a DDJ SX. it is very cheap and it comes with serato, and once you get comfortable and make a lot of money (if you are good lol) you can upgrade to the SZ! WHICH IS A BEAST
dr.raving beatz the sound quality on this is actually better than the Pioneer also this “garbage” features a LED jogwheel playhead indicator which most 2 ch controllers do not even have. It’s actually ahead of its game in a small way.
As a VDJ user, my personal preference for a beginner controller is the Gemini G2V. That thing is a BEAST!!! Very underrated IMO.
I bought my G2V from a yard sale for 150$.
This controller is really dope. I'll definitely be purchasing one in the future.
I was planning on buying one of these, there sooooo gooood!!

Great video Dj Barr!!!
Thanks for the review. Would love to see you do a couple more entry level controllers; Gemini, American Audio, Numark, etc.
Love your videos bro, always very informative and I always know I’ll be able to learn something new
Thanks for the awesome review. Forced me to buy one! 😀
Awesome Dj controller for beginner, thanks bro.
I preordered a HerculesDJ Control Starlight mini controller cant wait!!!
How's the effects?
And filter?
Damn that's dope.. I love the aux in..

I was hating Hercules controller after my last one got mess up. But I kinda like this one for a second controller. Thanks for the review.
Thank you for this review!
Hey, champ, what did you think of this controller's Pitch? Is it too sensitive? Do you have good accuracy? I found pitch's ruler too small. Thank you
Barr! you need to showcase the new Starlight, that thing looks so sick. Might give my numark dj2go2 a run for its money.

Controller looks great
Hey, great review! I wanted to know how to make the beats light indicators working, in your demo it stays on the first or the last beat as on my controller, do you know how this work? Thanks
Are you planing to use it on a gig ? That would be a cool gig log video, also is it VTDj compatible ?
Fantastic!!!!
You should do more videos like this!
@bayardo A Rugama I was wondering, how many songs should I put in my serato playlist to play a four hour gig?
whoa! super dope controller haha

How do you feel about the sb3. I currently have the numark party mix. And I feel that I mastered it within the few days I had it
LeftJabb DDJ-SB3 is a great unit. The party mix is a joke (and I’m a Numark fan). Would be a good upgrade to put you on the right track to pro gear.
hey mate . what are those 2 tracks you mixed thanks
hi DjBarr can this controller be used for virtual dj 8?
Yes
Do your next event with that mixer I really like it
Try to review the primo mixars bro i heard that is great for beginner dj
What about virtual DJ user's?
How would you rate this compared to the Pioneer DDJ-SB3? I ask this because the Pioneer name seems to be rated very high with DJ controllers.
DJ Ray Mobile Music I would take the SB3 over this every day of the week. You’ll be able to do much more with the Pioneer, and when someone is ready to upgrade to a professional level controller other pioneer models will feel familiar. No one talks about Hercules when they talk professional equipment.
What model are your KRK?
i love pioneer ddj-sb3 is cool
Hey am strgerling two get songs on my computer for my djing. Culd you recommend a place two get downlode off song for my computer. And i just subscribe as well. 😊
ddj 400 . Roland 202 ?
Whats wrong with a knob as a filter?
Man I miss my Hercules DJ steel controller
Great controller

I need some dj lessons I bought a dj sr2 I am so stuck and don’t know what I am doing serato is so confusing
Watch monitor in video?
QUESTION, imagine that i have a 500w rms speaker with 500w rms amp, if i run the sound at -6db, how much watts are going to run trought the speaker???
João Pedro 500watts rms. Lol. Your adjusting the signal level, not the speaker power.
Please where can i download the scratch sentence from?
Michael Johnson yeah I’m wondering the same thing. Plz where?
Michael Johnson oh actually you can find it online. I just searched “Serato scratch sentence” and it popped up.
Just look up scratch samples.
I would get a mixer like that
i had this controller- 2 units they sent were defective. in the middle of playing the jogwheel would stop responding. i got refunded. wish i could find one that didn't but have since moved on
is this a sponsored video?
For sure.
I never thought about Hercules having something of reliable quality.
But man, now it's on the shelf for quality.
You have disclose if a video is being sponsored. i.e Hosa. This is not a sponsored video.
@@joelewis well i've always seen hercules as a kind of knock-off brand. But now all of a sudden it's top quality?
The name of dj program???
serato
YOU SHOULD USE THAT CONTROLLER FOR CERAMONEY
Sam Gooding YOU SHOULD LEARN TO SPELL CEREMONY.
Bayardo I need your help

JR 1322 Serato DJ Lite is free. Every controller controller comes with it. Lol
JR 1322 wrong this controller comes w/SDJ Lite know your facts first and this has an LED jogwheel playhead indicator which most 2 ch controllers don’t have yet. It’s very convenient actually.
I need one to help me
Try pioneer ddj 400
#Early Squad
I will pay you for some dj lessons I live in the Bronx
POR FSVOR SUBSN UN VIDEO EN ESPAÑOL.
NO TODOS SOMOS GRINGOS!!!
These cheap controllers pitch control are always so short, it doesn't help begginer DJs learn beatmatching
Maaaaaadddddd
I just realised that controller is just over 3 years old
Jus Badd Even if it is 3 years old it can still be good. I just ordered it and I am going to replace equipment from 2003! 😛
Still can't beat RB
ii have one
If anyone is actually serious about Djing, you should at least invest in a DDJ SX. it is very cheap and it comes with serato, and once you get comfortable and make a lot of money (if you are good lol) you can upgrade to the SZ! WHICH IS A BEAST
The SX is far from an entry level/beginner unit.
Pioneer ddj 400 is the best
but this controller is already OLD!
I'm pretty sure that goes for every controller...regardless of price...
1 year later..and it's basically old tech...
What exactly does that mean?
I’m a kids trying to be a dj
Haha
Cool
ddj 400 is better for money
Buy this you will regret it trust me.
please get a Numark mixtrack pro 3 or a pioneer ddj-sb instead of this garbage!
dr.raving beatz the sound quality on this is actually better than the Pioneer also this “garbage” features a LED jogwheel playhead indicator which most 2 ch controllers do not even have. It’s actually ahead of its game in a small way.
WHY? No Really, why?? throwing out the garbage is not really helpful.
Haha how much u got paid to advertise this rubbish Numark mixtrack pro 3 is a good start
херня. дешевый контроллер... Denon рулит!
