Hercules DJControl Mixchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Commenters repeatedly praise how easily the controller fits in a backpack, suitcase, or carry-on for camping, travel, hiking, and plane trips. Its small size and built-in battery make it a favorite for impromptu jam sessions away from full DJ setups.

Recently bought this controller for its portability convenience and bluetooth capabilities. I’m enjoying this controller for backyard BBQ gatherings. Even though there is some latency when Bluetooth mixing. I don’t mind it when I’m just doing simple beat matching using Neural mixing transitions.launch

So I picked this up to pair with my reloop mixtour pro for bar gigs that I don’t normally resident at and have no equipment there. With the reloop I have a dedicated audio output and headphones, now with the control mix ultra I have a set of jogs and more traditional pad layout. It’s awesome being able to stuff this the mixtour pro and my MacBook Air in my backpack.launch

Brilliant how to! I just bought this controller and the only gripe I had was how to connect it to your speakers. The adapter was nice but not having some instruction was annoying. Glad I found this video! The controller is my first of this type, I am a vinyl guy so this is against my DNA, but I have a fun family reunion gig coming up and this is the optimal option. I did mess around with this last night, as I just bought this controller, and it was way more fun than I expected. The effects config you demonstrated will definitely be something I mess around with. Thanks for all the info!launch

You’re spot on sir but I still purchased 2 one for my friend and I. The portability and ease of it I couldn’t pass up. To be on a plane and have a dj controller is just sic to me. Love your channel as I recently just found it :)launch

Multiple users describe it as a great way to learn DJ basics, practice etiquette, and build skills before upgrading to pro gear, with one crediting it for teaching a 7-year-old and another for months of self-taught progress.

@DJ.HAYDEN

I’ve been using it for 4 months now and it’s taught me a ton in terms of beginner skills and knowledge. I intend to upgrade to a more extensive and professional board, but having this and being on the go has made it a complete win. I also can access my library and streaming services, and sync my libraries. 4/5 rating for melaunch

@Snapthis

I brought this on day one, I also did a review myself from a non-DJ perspective, and I find myself mixing all the time of this, but I'm someone who uses the phone and sits with AirPods in. I've learnt a lot over the last three months of the mix controller and then moved to the mix ultra. Where I see this quite useful is to learn the etiquette series of DJing, and then when I feel proficient in a file, potential investor my own or use the clubs equipment.launch

@josephmiller5429

my first controller had no built in audio interface and now I mix real vinyl in clubs. You gotta start somewhere and I imagine this thing will fit the bill for quite a few people just fine.launch

Young me would have definitely bought something like this when starting out. It’s found a niche and it’s nailed it well.launch

Several DJs use it as an affordable backup or add-on controller for gigs where they lack their usual gear, pairing it with devices like the Reloop Mixtour Pro for a more tactile workflow.

All these super DJs hating here, and yet it is already the best selling controller on Amazon (in Europe). It obviously is not intended to be for pro DJs, so wait…why did I order one and have a great time with this. Because I take it on vacations/weekend trips with me to prepare tracks or just develop some mash up/transition ideas that I can work out later on on my pro gear. Or it is great that I can sit in the kitchen with this when my wife is watching Netflix in the Living room where my pro set up is. Family peace is here again😅. And I already used it as an add on controller for my Reloop Mixtour Pro in a club which was a smooth experience. So why all the hate? This thing is so much fun for what it is. Nobody is forcing you to dump your spaceship size controllers for this😂launch

@SteveSegura

This is something you can take on a plane or little back yard party. Especially because it's so affordable and you worry free. I have the small one already just as an emergency device and travel buddy. looks fun party on the go!!!!launch

@Phonamana

Thanks for creating this vid and showing us the little DJay Controller. I was looking at it but, the ad for it doesn't do it justice. You did an excellent job showing us. I need a backup controller for my gigs and one for travelling. I am going to get one of these. I had a voucher Reward to use. Thanks!launch

Several commenters call out the hardware-unlocked Neural Mix feature that works without a subscription, with one noting the stem separation is better than Serato's. It's seen as a standout, unexpected feature for the price point.

@MUSICORECLUB

who need a soundcard, when using digital Mixer are any devices ar there own soundcard do board. \n\njust order mine this week to tested, im a mobile dj who use ipad and x1 Mk3 controler to gig with.\n\ntry this weekend my old Mixstream Pro, i analyz all my track with ENGINE DJ on my laptop. THIS SOFWARE SUCKS ( almost all trck BPM was wrong when used on my MSP).\n\nthat why i orderes the Ultra MIx, have a small conrroller with all functions STEMS, it great, and DJAY Pro it so a good software for track analys a for STEMS. \n\ni will use the Ultra Mix and my IPad in GIG. there is no diference pro are beginner conroller when connected to a externe laptop or device, it the software that matter.launch

Apparently the Neural mix functionality is hardware unlocked without subscription. I've just watched the DJcityTV Namm wrap up, and Victo from Hercules mentions it.launch

@Steamedhamburger

i will be travelling in 4 months and thought about grabbing denon go or even omnis duo to throw in the carry on bag, but they are both still too big (in denon's case too thick of a profile, and OD is just too wide in dimension) to be something lightweight I can nochalantly throw in a backpack with a bluetooth speaker for impromptu jam by the pool or in hotel room. This thing might fit the bill, and I did mess around djay neural mix features and it was good enough, to be honest, and stem separation much better than on serato.launch

Users like that it ships with a cover and runs on an internal battery, making it suited to on-the-go use without hunting for outlets. One commenter specifically wishes more mobile decks came with covers like this.

@123fourfivesix-g4i

Not having a sound card is a dealbreaker for me but I do love that it has a built in battery and comes with a cover. More “mobile” decks should come with covers.launch

@Panslapper

Removable and replaceable battery like the new JBL Partybox series might have been a good idea, still pretty useful though as is. Nice looking and a lot of features to get on with. Hercules make a great laptop stand too. The splitter does give the user the chance to upgrade the sound quality to the speakers with a decent dongle dac which is handy for the more Audiophile DJ.launch

A commenter highlights the easily repairable faders and swappable, non-proprietary battery as a rare and welcome design choice compared to sealed-in batteries on rival all-in-ones like the Prime Go and Omnis Duo.

@JamesMincey

Wow, I didn't know about the easily repairable faders and swappable (and NOT PROPRIETARY) battery! The sealed in batteries of the Prime Go and Omnis Duo are what has been stopping me from buying either of those. I hope that more brands will copy this in their future controllers and all-in-ones.launch

Users appreciate small design touches such as decksaver compatibility for elevation and a companion laptop stand, calling out Hercules' attention to these 'little extras' that other brands often skip.

@vegandadbod7157

Hercules got a good sense for those „little extras“. How often have I wondered why decksavers are Not designed to be put underneath the controller just to elevate it a little if necessary. Same with the extractable feet on their T7/ 500 models…it’s so good to have. Why doesn’t every controller come with this?launch
