Hercules DJ Control Instinct S

We bought the Hercules Control Instinct S deck for my 18 year old son as a bit of a play thing but I have to say what a fantastic beginners deck. The software that comes with the deck is very good and is a full version of DJUCED it installed and plays on my sons 5 year old Toshiba i3 laptop without any problems and it looks really good. The software will automatically access your music files and tell you how many BPM`s ( beats per minute) each track has then all you need to do is select your tracks and start mixing. We bought our son some cheap Dance/Trans CD`s to start off with but you could mix any type of music, Subo and Metalica might be interesting.The deck itself is quit small and very portable, light but still feels solid and well built and it takes its power directly from the laptop you can mix two track at a time add various effects, create loops and samples and you can record your own mixes. It comes with the software and full instructions on a cd. The instructions are not too large but comprehensive and very easy to follow. You will need a pair of headphones and pair of speakers, you can use USB laptop /computer stereo or 2.1 speakers and it has inputs for active speakers at the back. I am sorry I cant give a more in depth review but I am not allowed to use the deck, bloody teenagers lol. Very happy to recommend.

This is a great entry level controller so easy and simple to use no excess knobs or buttons very sturdy and well built for the highly active dj expertly packaged and the software included is very easy to navigate and install I'd highly recommend this for any beginner of any age as it was for my 11 year old son and he is extremely happy with it and has grasped everything this has to offer

Good little bit of kit for starting up or messing about with, only complaint is the gain is on the pc software and not on the mixer, apart from that it is really good especially for the price!

I bought this product for my grandsons birthday and he absolutely loves it.

Not a bad mixer, though I was surprised at how small it was (smaller in size than a sky box)Son hasn't managed to master the mixing yet but he has told me everything can be done on the laptop using the software as its a replica of the mixer leaving the mixer unused..... found this kinda strange.....But time will tell.

Really small when u get them but fantastic for a bedroom beginning dj and for little party's but there's not that much u can do on them if your a dj that's been at it years but they r worth the money

Poor piece of equipment sent it straight back my verdict is leave it and get the numark

I bought this to mess around on. It's so easy to use and the software is great. I'm gonna dj my first in a week!
