Hercules Starlight Overview

The Hercules DJControl Starlight is an ultra-portable USB DJ control surface designed to work with the included Serato DJ Lite software and is well suited for beginner DJs, home enthusiasts, or professional DJs on the go. The Starlight offers exclusive modes that work with Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro and offer all the key features required for learning to mix and scratch.

Two touch-responsive jog wheels allow for cueing and beat matching of their respective tracks, while the on-board crossfader and two volume knobs seamlessly mix the two tracks together. Each deck features a bass-EQ/filter that allows you to enhance the sound, while the available onboard Serato effects sweeten the mix. The controller is USB bus powered and equipped with four pads, each operating in four modes (hot-cue, loop, FX, & sampler) per deck. Additionally, the controller includes a built-in 24-bit / 44.1 kHz audio interface with separate master and headphone outputs. The DJControl Starlight ships with a USB cable.

I really wanted a small dj controller to use along side my laptop for easy desk mixing. This is the perfect solution. Comes will all the features you will need to dj. For anyone who has deejayed in the past with large dj mixers, turntables, CDJ's and crates of vinyl and CDs this is a blessing, everything is portable and easy to use.

Asked by: John
Most users have reported that the Hercules DJControl Starlight is not compatible for use with Chromebooks running ChromeOS, but some have said that it may be possible to get it to work if the Chromebook is running Windows OS or if it supports Android. It may be possible to use it with the Serato DJ Lite app for Android on the Chromebook. We have not tested it so you should definitely do more research before purchasing the Hercules DJControl Starlight to use with your Acer Chromebook as it may not work.
