Thanks dude!

how is the sound output?

Thank you! Will do!

Our pleasure!

Great. The best thing you can get is the one you can have at time you're buying

Glad it was helpful!!

No problem!

Torrent the software pleb.

Yea this is obviously a promo for Hercules

In the hercules you can use djuced, the software made for that machine, and work very well

They've been making some sturdy controllers for a while. Just have to ignore the 'air' feature from some of their more gimicky efforts.

DDJ 400 is still my bae, great for my local gigs 🔥

@@OfficialDJWolve Yeah, but pioneers are boring.

Sorry to be so negative.

@@Factory051 I like my numark mixtrack pro 3 I'm getting the mixtrack platinum fx

No problem 👍

Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the kind words, thank you!

Glad you like them!

Sb3 is outdated and you won’t have access to all controls on Serato Pro. Their clear recommendation is the Inpulse 500

Thank you!

If I have the budget for the Denon DJ Prime Go, would you recommend buying it or better get the Hercules anyways?

Indeed

Although saying that, you don’t get the same effects control as on the numark, just the wierd filter effects... now I’m not so sure between the two!

Hey, I want to start learning and am considering buying a DDJ 400. Do you know if its works with Traktor or other softwares if I end up not liking Rekordbox ? Thanks.

@@user-fv9nc7hm4f yes, but you have to map the buttons

Agreed

I’d say the Platinum fx has the edge because of the jogs, fx paddles and it has the biggest pitch control fader

For me the 400. But with the size pitch control as the numark.as it’s abit short on all the others too.then it would be %100 awesome

Thanks

Hercules LE mp3 is only 60 bucks without build in audio card but i love it as beginner controller

If we talking about sales - ddj 400 won that competition long time ago. They're all sold worldwide and still many ppl looking for them. For now on I have seen them for sale only in Poland

That is very true but I was ranking simplicity over complications with beginners in mind. Rekordbox and Traktor alike, a few clicks of a button and you can mess up the audio routing and be stuck. Serato DJ Lite is really really simple which I thought was more important for the less technical minded! 🙌🏻

Can you not do mapping with the Inpulse 500 using either Serato or Recordbox?

Hey Brandon. I will say that if you get any controller youd want it to match you not your end goal. A 400 would help you get use to a CDJ layout but a CDJ layout isnt a hard concept to get your head around. I'd go with whatever controller you think would be more sturdy, compatible with your style, has the most flexibility with its use.... and the one that seems the most fun to play on. I've played on the 400 and I've played on the Hercules 500. I'd say the 500 is by far more fun. It's a larger set up so it feels like an all in one system most clubs are going with currently and Djuced isnt a bad software. Also, if you start to play clubs hopefully you can talk to the owner or resident DJ and ask to come in early before the place opens so you can get use to the CDJs there. When I first start playing nice location I was using a Novation Twitch, before that I played on M-Audio Xponent before that played Vinyl with a simple behringer no effects mixer.... all of them are less similar to CDJs than any controller here. I got a good idea on how the CDJs work after an hour playing on them before the club opened. Tl:dr buy whatever looks like youd have the most fun using. CDJs aren't that complicated.

@@bloodfalconfantastic4445 mad respect for this comment

So bad

Thank god im not the only one that noticed it xD

i think that hercules will be one of the best company on the market

the rca output is a turn off tho isn't it ?

@@bigdiddy25 I’ve been using mine for a while and I don’t see any problem with it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean hercules looks and is better.

„without a doubt“ lmao why? because some noname noob DJ tells so? Pioneer became overrated trash.

@@ImpactSpace nerd

Very true and something I hopefully pointed out at the end, there's no bad controllers here

@@Crossfader i personally like rekordbox so 400 for me

Try sweetwater.com

@@fabricedefay3298 much thanks for that 😊

@@fabricedefay3298 pre ordered n all and even donated to a music in schools program 😅 Thanks again

Exactly my thought. I wound up buying the Platinum FX only after considering the in wheel display and effect paddles.. but I still remember when be Numark was considered a toy too. I wish Vestax didn’t drop out, their vinyl mixers were great

@@christianjforbes Truth..Vastax was sick

Hurcules over pioneer? Gtfoh
