Product Description
Hercules, the leader in mobile DJ controllers for PC/Mac, is proud to unveil its new mixing console for computers, the Hercules DJControl Instinct. The DJControl Instinct is designed for anyone with an instinct for mixing, and for everyone dreaming of getting behind the decks to host great parties with their own music and setting the dance floor on fire.Instinctive, compact and lightweight, DJControl Instinct has been created with all users in mind, and comes equipped with everything needed to start having fun right away – audio outputs, pressure-detecting jog wheels, and intuitive mixing software (DJUCED). All users need to start hosting wild DJ parties is a computer (PC or Mac, with a USB port to connect the controller), a pair of amplified speakers, headphones, and audio files on computer.Thanks to its central mixer with a brushed metal texture, which splits up the controller’s surface in relation to the two lacquered deck areas on either side, DJControl Instinct provides handling that is truly instinctive. The bright orange and red backlighting used for its controls allows users to very easily identify where all of the different elements are, even in low-light conditions. In addition to being simple to use, the controller is also powerful: its two pressure-detecting jog wheels let you scratch without any latency, as well as scroll within tracks, and control the Pitch Bend function.DJControl Instinct is the only controller in its category to feature built-in audio outputs: two RCA outputs, plus one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack output. This makes it easy for DJs to play their mix on amplified PA system speakers, on a hi-fi system or on multimedia speakers.An independent output in 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack format also lets users connect their headphones, to preview tracks privately before playing them in their mix.

The integrated 4 channel sound device is sweet. Most higher end devices don't include this and if you're on a laptop that means you are either buying MORE hardware or using the integrated sound card which is probably 2 channel only. With this set up i can actually run 6 independent sound channels, though I typically only use the RCA outs on the console for mains and the console headphone jack for my headphones.
Others have complained about the included software... I can't comment on that because I haven't used it. But I can say the included drivers work with Mixxx without issue.
its a great Christmas gift for all ages especially young kids who have to learn and explore music. This is the next guitar...
But I after I got it working and playing with it for a couple of days now, I must admit it's an excellent controller. It has basic features like loops, effects, samples and cues and pitch and volume controls. I think it's an excellent tool to get introduce yourself to this DJ'ing world before upgrading to a more serious one.
For me one of the basic features is the headphone pres listening, that is basic if you want to improvise.
Maybe a reason why my experience with this controller is so positive is because I don't use the default software but I use Virtual DJ instead. There are plenty videos on youtube that explains how to map this DJ controller with Virtual DJ

First of all, this is a brilliant deck for beginners. The User manual was very helpful for learning what each separate part of the deck does, and DJ Juiced, the software that comes with it, is very user friendly and easy to use, and thats what we like when you're a beginner like was. The button's and sliders are very easy to move, and make it very easy to mix songs and make things sound good.
If you have had experience using decks before, then i'm not sure this is the right product for you, especially if you preform live, as it might be better to get one of the more expensive decks that can do more, as this is a very basic, 'bedroom recording' deck.
There are plenty of tutorials online to also help you get started, and learn the advanced skills of DJing!
Awesome delivery by Amazon on time
very good product for learners or the people who like to mix all time at home or you can use it as profesionally also to thoufg a small party with amplified speakers.
yes at home also you can connect with the 3.5 mm jack n enjoy.
I was using Virtual DJ only till now but now I am very much satisfied that I have a mini console that can do most of the things a DJ does.
Only some effects like filter sound etc are not there but its small so it has less space for that but no concerns you can still play with the sounds using mid high and low pass.
Overall a very good product in that price....
