The best thing about the RMX is that its both mac and PC compatible. Since i have a mac, it's difficult to find a software based Mixer, that is not that expensive and good. One of that bad things about the RMX is the Software. It comes with Virtual DJ 5 version, which has limited functions such as no timecoded vinyl, and you'll have o upgrade it to virtual DJ pro (and it's not worth it in my opinion) to get more effects and timecode, but the software it pretty good overall.
I like it, its bigger than MKII,the loop and the flange are very easy to use, I miss the sound effects, and the playlist, but it works perfect even if you have Windows Vista which is a little bit heaver software u can mix without any ploblems. To those DJ's who said Turntables are for real DJs, I have to say...Wake up !!! this is 2008 almost 2009. Technology is here, digital music is the future.
Jog wheel is still too sensative. The main volume fader in between the 2 channel fader should be in another location. I like the fact that the pitch is now a slide fader (just like a turntable) instead of the knob and maybe should have been closer to the jog wheel. Overall I like the effect with video as well as MP3's, it even had an effect to turn your regular MP3 for use for kareoke. Yes, I found out about the extra [$] for the full software and it [*] but we can't alway have everything.
The metal case is nice and i think that if i go at a club it would make me look more professional. The bad thing about it is that it comes with a cheap software. The m2k software was way better and on the rmx they want you to buy the virtual dj pro for an extra [$] if you had already purchase the rmx and [$] if you didnt.[...]If you got the money to buy the pro, it's a nice investment. I think that virtual pro is just a scam to pay extra.
The only thing I don't like about this product, and it isn't about the Hercules DJ Console RMX itself, is the Virtual DJ LE (Limited Edition) software it comes bundled with. The software is great, it just isn't the full version of the application, and that blows...
This is a review of the product. This isn't a personal opinion about whether or not real dj's use turntables.
This product completely meets all of my dj'ing needs.
It's great!
Like I said REAL DJ'S USE TURNTABLES!!! STOP BEING LAZY!!!
The Hercules DJ Console RMX is a very useful midi controller if are used to dj software, like virtua dj, the only thing i don't like is the Hi knob not making a difference, also the scratch function is very sensitive
I traded the MK2 in, and got the RMX. It is pretty easy to use and the software is o.k. It is limited on the use of the software. You don't have all of the effects like the MK2 but overall it beats its original, MK2. All the improvements were for the better, the jogwheels are awesome, the scratching is definetly cleaner. Like the other comment it is missing the 1/8" plug which was a minus but if you are looking to mixing your mp3's easier this is the affortable way to go.
The product does not include what the MKII had (software wise), you have to spend the extra $149 to have access to all the additional feature including video. It does not bring the 1/8 output that the orgininal had. Other than that, the product works and the video and effects are a plus.
