Hercules DJ Console RMX. Thoughts?

http://www.hercules.com/us/DJ-Music...dj-console-rmx/

Does anyone have anything to say about this piece of equipment? I've never mixed anything before and I thought this might be a good place to start. It seems fairly capable from the youtube videos I've seen demoing it. It has a built-in soundcard for headphones to keep the computer's soundcard free for the main output.

My main concern is that since this is new to me, I don't want to invest a lot of money in equipment that I may not want to use in a year's time. Therefore I thought a midi controller is probably about as cheap as it gets.

It's not bad for what it is. If you're considering to actually get serious with djing, you might want to think about getting a cheap pair of cdjs and a basic mixer.

I own the RMX console and as a beginner I have to say it is really easy to use and set up. The power source is direct from the USB cable and it has 2 inputs and outputs. So if in the future you want to get turntables/CDJs you can use them in your setup and you can also use an external mixer if you want to.

It also comes with a demo of virtual DJ so if you don't already have a dj program you can use it and possibly upgrade it if you dig it. I'm using Traktor Pro atm and it works extremely well for the small gigs I do.

The buttons though seem a little cheap but thats what you get for a starter controller. Compared to say the Omni Control or the Total Control, there's a lot more buttons and I find it easy to set-up loops, cues, and do effects.

If you're on a budget, by all means this is one sturdy piece of equipment. I'm extremely happy with buying it.

For that price, you could get a decent full on mixer.

Something to think about.
