Comments about Hercules DJ 4Set Controller & Audio Interface:
I picked up the 4set because i wanted a small controler that was easy to transport and was suprised by just how much you could do with it. But i do recomend spending the money to upgrade from the lite version of virtual DJ to the Pro version. It is very good for new DJ's because it is basic but that's what you need when your starting out, you can't just jump on a turntable and be as good as DJ AM, it is great for basics like beat matching, pitch control, and even crossfading/level fading all of which are the first skills you need to learn. The main draw back is that cause it is basic there is very limited effects and effect control which more experienced DJ's use alot for transitions and special mixing. All in all it is great for beginers and a good piece to have around in cause you have problems with your other equipment be it another controler or a turntable interface.
