Starlight DJ Control Controller (4780884)

I really want to give credit for how quality built this thing is. For what it is, it's amazing. Great sound, solid build quality. But this is NOT a starter DJ controller, this is a mobile dj have fun controller and for that purpose it's great. But if you are starting out, it's missing a lot of function you will want as a DJ.If you are looking for a starter controller look at the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX2 ( https://amzn.to/3JOiGCm ) or for $150 more the DDJ-FLX4 ( https://amzn.to/41wwckk ) these are perfect starting controllers, and have all the function you will need to do gigs, or where you need decent functions but not all the cost.

If you are looking to get into casual DJing, this gets you there for a great price. The size is good when you have limited space to work with, but frustrating when you can accidentally hit a few features if you are not careful enough. Overall I am really happy with it and am excited to see how good I can get on this piece of hardware.

Excellent for quick cuts and edits for my Livestream. The buttons click hard and loud so there is extra sound when trying to cue or anything so its not really ideal for an actual DJ setting unless it is a small setting. Works great though. Easy to use.

Easy to figure out, compact. Got it for my four teens to do something creative and they were able to figure it out

A lot of fun to mix with and super portable! Solid build and feels very sturdy. Worked immediately with seratto lite and pro like a charm!

For the price and size you can’t beat this little controller. Perfect for throwing in my backpack when I travel. Out of all the little ones I have tried this was my favorite because of the Bass level knob. If you DJ you know the importance of that knob.Only gripes are it only has 1 band eq aka bass knob and it useless and relic of a connection. Need to update that to USB C stat.

Numark dj2go2 TouchPRO - Browsing KnobPRO - Better for scratching (i really don't care about this feature & feels cheap anyway)PRO - Ultralight & CompactPRO - Built-in sound card (16-bit) for direct audio output to speakers or headphonesPRO - Numark advertises standard MIDI mapping for broader software compatibility; Hercules is focused on Serato DJ Lite/Pro.CON - No Bass & EQ KnobCON - Lacks channel faders and EQ controls (only has level knobs)CON - Feels cheapCON - Small knobs & pads. Small size might feel restrictive for complex mixing or larger handsHercules StarlightPRO - Bass & EQ KnobPRO - Better build qualityPRO - Better for big hands (Bigger knobs, pads & wheels)PRO - Bass EQ/Filter knobs per channel (can act as high/low pass filters)PRO - slightly higher 24-bit audio outputPRO - Hercules includes an FX pad mode for triggering effects, which Numark lacks. Easy onboard access to FX via the padsCON - No Browsing Knob (still can do that via laptop)CON - No EZ scratching surface BUT still offers it if you push a button (not a deal breaker for me)CON - Bigger / Heavier than Numark (but not by much)CON - No channel gain knobs; only volume and bass/filter per deck (gain is on laptop)CON - Numark advertises standard MIDI mapping for broader software compatibility; Hercules is focused on Serato DJ Lite/Pro.CON - Dead space at end of crossfader on Hercules - But you can tape it off with plastic or somethingFor me - Id go with the Starlight

This a great if you want to do on the fly mixing, set up hot cues or on need a quick setup to host friends with music. Highly recommend!

Enkel mixer som uppfyller alla mina krav för att köra hemma

Buen controlador para principiantes o para practicar si tienes uno más completo, casi no ocupa espacio y además de funcionar con Serato también es compatible con VirtualDJ (aunque necesitas una licencia), así que será cuestión de preferencia cuál software usar. Los botones son clicky y los pads un poco más suaves; la calidad de los plásticos es buena aunque no estelar, mientras que el efecto de iluminación no me resultó muy útil que digamos, pero es bastante vistoso. Se siente un poco restringido por dos razones: 1) la cantidad de controles, ya que se nota la ausencia de un área de efectos y el hecho de que el filtro y bajo compartan perilla es algo fastidioso y 2) los jogs son muy, muy pequeños y se dificulta mucho moverse en el track o hacer pitch pending para sincronizar bien, de hecho pensé que sería problema el fader del pitch, que también es bastante corto, pero con ese si me acomodé. Trae tarjeta de sonido y soporta ASIO, por si ocupan. En resumen, funciona para sesiones de práctica cortas o si solo vas a poner una canción tras otra y ya, pero si quieres buscar cue points, sincronizar bien los tracks, etc., puede ser algo incómodo, aunque considerando el precio y la portabilidad vale la pena tener esas limitantes. Si lo vas a traer en tu mochila recomiendo usar un estuche.

Facile d'utilisation et performant, parfait pour un usage de base.

J'utilise ce contrôleur couplé à mon ordinateur portable sur lequel tourne le logiciel Mixxx.Il faudra régler dans les préférences > Matériel sonore > Sortie > Principal (1 et 2) et Casque (3 et 4).Je m’en sers pour animer des matchs de hockey sur glace, afin de faire l’animation musicale, mais aussi les jingles propres aux actions de jeu.La prise en main est relativement facile, et le branchement USB est fourni (pas besoin d'alimentation).Le système permet de travailler avec un casque et un ampli externe pour diffusion. Cela permet de préparer le morceau suivant à l’endroit exact souhaité (Cue).Le mixage physique se répercute sur le logiciel à l'écran.On peut utiliser en direct 8 samplers, utiliser des effets, des loop ou des Cue sur un morceau donné.Visuellement, des effets lumineux ajoutent du fun à l’expérience.Ce sera parfait pour des amateurs comme moi, et avec un peu d’expérience, on finit par oublier la souris.
