DEMO of DJ CONTROL STEEL - Hercules - VirtualDJ - MacBook Pro

[TheKiller5673]

what is that song, i luv it

[LeclercStephanie]

I love it, especially for the loops functions. You can made a mix with that with so ease. Well it's to much easy. lol

[DPRODUCT360ps3]

hey i have a question i just brought mine from my dads house and i wanted to know can i make it work for windows 7?

[lm9696productions]

I have Hercules dj control steel, which has no output ON the console. So, I plug the headphones in the computer but when I start playing, I hear both decks in my headphones and nothing in speakers. It should be that you listen just to the right deck and both decks (outcome) is produced in speakers... IF YOU HELP ILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL PLEASEEEEE

[Rubenianovic]

which one's better: the rmx or the steel?

[djfauxhawx]

@Rubenianovic the steel has no soundcard plus only comes with vdj 5.0, the rmx comes with vdj home 7 and a huge soundcard, for money i'd buy the steel and a soundcard, for professional feel i would buy the rmx, keep in mind though the rmx is exactly the same design, weight and feel to the steel, hope i've helped

[softtacos]

i feel like there should be more to it it seems too easy

[stellaago]

so you can't plug your headphones in the controller , but if u have speaker with headphone plug in hole then u can make that??? :)

[GmodAttic]

Does it come with a sound card?!

[Alexandros9563]

what is beeter this or mk4? thnx

[djfauxhawx]

@Alexandros9563 i'd get the mk4 much more cost effective, just keep in mind though its made of shitty plastic

[69SHOOTINGSTAR]

hey does it has a headphone input?

[tjdray1]

Is it chargable? :D

[MrPierakis]

What kind of speakers do i need for this passive or active???in other words is it self-amplified or not?

[AJ3DJ]

Whats the first song that is playing? Could someone please say :D thankyou

[DJcrack4]

oye amigo donde puedo conseguir una tornameza como esa a buen presio no sabes ?

[XXTheGallowsXX]

theres a software download for your laptop at meatspin.com

[Austeenob]

How much is a mac book pro??? and this hercules controller how much is it? would it be good for drumnbass, hardstyle , house & trance? is the soundcard built in so all u do is plugs the headphones in, and are able to cue, by listening to the song your about to mix? your looking at VDJ right?

[MegaStefano1996]

The name of the song??please

[bentpickles]

get it on amazon only 200$

[djdavedoc]

Question for you, what is the input lag like (if any?). I have an Ion ICue and the Input lag is a killer when trying to mix as you notice the lag between you actually moving the fader or EQ Turner when trying to mix and it sounds daft.

[digitrich]

@djdavedoc I had, and still have, NO LAG at all, using my MacBook Pro (model is 4-years old!)

I did have a friend using the Steel on his windows VISTA PC laptop and experiencing lag, but this

was due to the old laptop not running the software fast enough.

[PoxIndustries]

@digitrich you're wrong, you can just adjust the buffer length!

[xXxJuggernaut69xXx]

how exactly do you connect the turntables to your laptop? :S

is it through usb or...

[Mu5ik4Life]

do you need a sound card for this? Would you reccomend this over the numark mixtrack?

[illmike]

Nice mix, what external sound card do you have??

[thedjkuz]

Can you have a split-cue if you have headphones? Like, listen to the track you're about to mix?

[angelitopr89]

i buyed it today but i cant find th headphone port:S i just only have it for the usb calbe 2 my computer

[JFHotaria]

@angelitopr89 dude there is none :D you have to get an external soundcard now :( better inform yourself... but i admid :D i bought it aswell, wondering afterwards why theres no port :D

[thewomanjesus]

hah roller head.... check out my hercules rmx mix....

[nevaonsafety]

does it play your itunes music library

[digitrich]

@nevaonsafety YES it does!

[thedjkuz]

@nevaonsafety It should do, I've got the latest Virtual DJ Home and it shows my iTunes library, although I'm a pc user and I use media player

[Spida747]

Can this play through your built-in laptop speakers or does it need external speakers?

[digitrich]

@Spida747 YES It will play trough your built-in laptop speakers!

[SuperBlindeye]

@Spida747 All of the above...but really; I'm mean really...your laptop speakers:( You know you can go out of your laptop at the headphone output with a 1/8 tip and into your house stereo with some RCA's; that'd be the red and white ones. It's probably a five buck investment, and don't forget to put your stereo in AUX...laptop speakers arrrrggghh...

[digitrich]

@SuperBlindeye that's indeed the standard way of doing it, but I'm a little tired of repeating myself over and over in these comments I just answer the questions, even in an ironic way; so YES it will play trough the laptop speakers but NO that's not the proper way of doing it. : )

[marcoshardstyle77]

hello i have bought the hercules and i don´t know to put the samplers

how do you do it?

[petrusini10]

@marcoshardstyle77

hey, watch my video..

with the sampler record, you will record 4 beats.. and if you press the sampler button, you can start it ;)

grettz

[SuperBlindeye]

@marcoshardstyle77 You bought it, and you don't know how to put the samples...arrrgghhh! You'd think you'd learn how to do that with the program, way before having the actual hardware; but I guess Mom and Dad took real care of you this Christmas...Just look at the sampler. as another recording tool, ie, s a m p l e r... oooooOOOOHHH..so then you right click and hold the sampler button down, so it can record your sample... Oh, and in case I'm wrong, that's how easy it is to do; you'll get it!!!

[Peppymintt]

Just wondering what songs are u playing??? Thx

[Peppymintt]

How much is it??? Cause Im looking to buy a new DJ set

[OfficialUltrastyler]

@Peppymintt Around £170-£180 on amazon

[papamilos]

track list =)?

[RaymondJokerAlva]

this helped SO much! thank you. how much did that cost you?

[aronreynaga]

hey it looks cool how much did you buy it for

[FabolTorkas]

in a few days i will have it hehehe thanks to amazon xd

[T3L3TuBii]

what would you recomend the numark omni or this one??? plz reply back im in a debate

[AirSoftDealerNy]

sorry but can you install your own music on to it?

[DreceonMW2]

how to make the button lights go on?

[mancinellij]

is it compatible with windows seven?

[chargercolt3]

Is it easy to figure out for a beginner? i want to get into mixing and dj ing is this a good piece of equipment to start out??

[digitrich]

@chargercolt3 it's too easy with this device! : ) Just hook it up to your computer and off you go! You'll be learning fast with this one, it not hard at all!

[SuperBlindeye]

@chargercolt3 Yeah! It's thee device for VDj; and take my advice go 'Hi End 'cause if you start at the 'low end' you'll never really know your true potential. It's like putting up a Volkswagon buggy against a Ferrari. You can ride around in the buggy all day, but you'll never really know how good you are 'til your in that Ferrari...

[digitrich]

@SuperBlindeye it's still a midi controller, it works with Traktor also... It does come with a LE version of VDj, but that's not so bad if you're new to all this.

[aronreynaga]

i think i might get one how much did yours cost

[ricard0wnz]

Which is better : Numark Mixtrack Pro or Hercules Dj control steel?

Thanks!

[dylanpolanetjeh]

does it have loop in and loop out buttons?

[digitrich]

@dylanpolanetjeh YES it has!

[dylanpolanetjeh]

@digitrich

thanx, now i'm sure i will buy it thanks again

[ricard0wnz]

Hoe heb je ingesteld dat je de cue kan luisteren via je koptelefoon?!

[ricard0wnz]

@digitrich you said that you pre-listening your songs with your headphones with a USB soundcard. I have this console too, but I have 2 input places for boxes and headphones in my laptop. Is that the same? How do I need to config that in Virtual DJ? And how can I pre-listening the tracks in my headphone?

[VxXGHOSTXxV]

does this work with traktor?

[digitrich]

@VxXGHOSTXxV Yes it works, I've tested it myself. Theres also a config file you can download to map the buttons to work even better with traktor.

[VxXGHOSTXxV]

@digitrich where can i get the file?

[digitrich]

@VxXGHOSTXxV Google, my best friend : ) ftp://ftp.hercules.com/sound/T­DJS/current/TP_DJ_STL.zip

[VxXGHOSTXxV]

@digitrich thx ill try this, check out the channel

[360doublekickflip]

Can you get this in Canada ? and if yes, What is the price ?

[sbdimistefanis]

@digitrich wich sound card dou you have?

[digitrich]

@sbdimistefanis as you can read in the description of my video; I'm using a MacBook Pro, that has a 2-channel soundcard on-board and I use an additional C-Media Speedlink external USB soundcard stick (less than 15€) where I plug my headphones into for pre-listening the songs.

In MacOs I combined the two different soundcards to work as one 4-channel soundcard, and in the setup of VDJ I then selected the combined 4-channel soundcard. So VDJ things I'm using one 4-channel soundcard.

Hope this helps

[sbdimistefanis]

@digitrich thnx!

[ricard0wnz]

@digitrich you said that you pre-listening your songs with your headphones with a USB soundcard. I have this console too, but I have 2 input places for boxes and headphones in my laptop. Is that the same? How do I need to config that in Virtual DJ? And how can I pre-listening the tracks in my headphone? Sorry for my bad English :(

[sbdimistefanis]

@digitrich and if i use a usb souncard and then i press the button cue select i will hear the other track on my headphones?

[digitrich]

@sbdimistefanis yes, that's basically the way it works... you assign 2 channels for output (to speakers or amp) and 2 channels for monitoring (pre-listing) the song trough headphones. If you only have a 2-channel soundcard, you add a extra usb soundcard where you plug your headphones directly into. In the VDJ software that comes with the steel, you can assign what soundcard (or channels) you use for output and pre-listing. It's not hard if you know the basics.

[sbdimistefanis]

@digitrich wich sound card dou you have?

[sbdimistefanis]

if you want to use headphones (and hear other tracks ther without hearing in the master) you should take an audio card?

[digitrich]

@sbdimistefanis if your computer or laptop has a soundcard with 4-channels, you don't need the extra soundcard! If your laptop or computer has only a 2-channel soundcard, you need an extra soundcard. Like I said many times before; a simple and cheap usb stick soundcard (20 bucks) will do the trick just fine.

[sbdimistefanis]

THANS!

[sbdimistefanis]

@digitrich and if i use a usb souncard and then i press the button cue select i will hear the other track on my headphones?

[steve702]

nice vid!! i like how you gave a brief example of the button function.

[MisterRicky16]

the first song?

[DjHirro]

@MisterRicky16 Dj Shumilin - Roller Head ( Klaas Remix )

[djlatianese]

the remix is ugly...

[digitrich]

@djlatianese Sure, but the purpose of this demo is to show the functions and controls of The Steel, not to make a nice remix...

[actos10]

Awesome video and nice mix! I'm going to buy this console soon and this video helped a lot.

[DJHodg3]

can i put my speakers and plug them into this???

or do i just keep my speakers pluggined into my laptop and then the sound will play out from my speakers?

[leonv62]

does this have a headphone input??

[remyg34]

Lovin the video,just what i was lookin 4

[rodatv]

nice tutorial :) i just wanted to know if you would recommended this to beginners, just for messing around with and at small party's?

[digitrich]

@rodatv I totally recommend this to beginners and novice users, it's perfect to mess around with, and it will fit all your needs. Even a total beginner can get some awesome results with this device! Have Fun!

[juaneleh013]

What the name of songs??

[djrefreshed]

i dont know wich controller i want i want this one and the numark total controller what is the best disicion sorry for my english it`s bad

[02tweeks]

The ' steel' model certainly looks more impressive.

But is it worth getting instead of the E2?

[noullss21]

Can you prelisten deck B through your headphones while the deck A playing a song???

[DJsasuship]

1:23

lol ur finger

[DJsasuship]

this is a cheaper copy of hercules dj control rmx isnt it ?

[EliteKermit]

My computer has an onboard sound thing will this work with that? Tbh i dont mind about having headphones plugged in at the same time as speakers si will that mean i dot need to buy a dedicated card?

[swiftie1]

do you HAVE to buy an external sound card to be able to hear the cue track in your headphones? or does it depend which soundcard u got in ur laptop/pc?

[digitrich]

@swiftie1 indeed, it depends on the soundcard you have in your PC / MAC or laptop;

if you have a 4-channel sound card you don't need the external sound card. If you have a standard 2-channel sound card you will need a second external soundcard, but this can be a cheap USB soundcard where you plug your headphones into.

[swiftie1]

@digitrich how can i check which soundcard i have? been searching can't find :(

[codyaku]

can u prelisten??? is there a button for that

[digitrich]

@codyaku YES that's a standard function, so it's normal that the Steel has this... Buttons are located at the top right and the first button above the left and right fader / channel is for pre-listening that channel. You can also mix them both with the buttons at the top right that also control the headphones volume.

[alex75877]

Are there any loops or do you have to map them your self?

[ques75]

question. there is no headphone output on this, how do i go about mixing with headphones?

[Jetzixify]

Amm where sell the hercules dj set? and what is the cost

[whocaresfag]

someone tell me which is better... this or the RMX??

[PrAdA766]

How do you do to have a headset on for dj control steel????

[thewaldo69]

I was ready to buy the Numark Stealth until I saw this video, now you've got me torn between the two! Any suggestions?

[GLIMENTER]

[n4vys3a7]

[suicidalminds]

[Tricky644]

Hey Yes it is running under Windows 7. New Patch in may 2010

[stanny28]

Hello, I just see that it's only for mac and Windows XP/Vista. Is it also useful for Windows 7? PS: Sorry for my English, I'm from the Netherlands.

[stanny28]

Hello, I just see that it's only for Mac and Windows XP/Vista. Is it also useful for Windows 7? PS: Sorry for my English, I'm from the Netherlands.

[stanny28]

Does it has the same options for Windows (7) as for a Macbook Pro?

[K4miix]

@stanny28 i heard that it dosen´t allways work with windows 7 and the shops says the same :S

[mysteryboy45]

[navaloncho]

Low battery?

[punnytje]

[jfactor05]

[pramodeugi]

[Rishman007]

your help is appreciated...

[babbobagone]

come posso usare il playback con questa console?

[ZombieHitman13]

can u use songs from like an iTunes or windows media player library, or can you upload songs to the files on this? I like remixing songs I know and love

[digitrich]

@ZombieHitman13 yes, the VDJ software that comes with this device loads your iTunes playlists or songs, so you can use them. Same with media player.

[DjTaKK]

wait, so if i wanted to plug in headphones, would i plug the headphones into the computer? and do i need to buy a seperate sound card?

[DJBRISK1]

Is there an input for headphones?

[digitrich]

@DJBRISK1 no there is'nt.

[magiatutoriales]

@digitrich hey but in the hercules console rmx there is one right i mean steel is the one that dosent have it right???

[RiKyXsTyLe]

[digitrich]

@RiKyXsTyLe it's still the first track playing: Roller Head (Klaas Remix)

[RiKyXsTyLe]

@digitrich Thanks! =)

[migas95]

hey! i bought a dj control steel and my operative system is snow leopard. when i was installing the drivers, the program told me it wasn't compatible with snow leopard. is there any way of solving this problem? thanks

[CrewShufflers]

how much is this

[lobomarinosec24]

para que sirve el green shift

[letthefloodgatesopen]

can you create loops on this??

[feliperamirez12345]

actually it would need a sound card ... one that works PERFECT with it is the Numark DJIO sound card !! i have it with the Steel Console, and its beautiful .. jaja ... the rest, its amazing ! great product

[iDJWana]

What songs are you using?

And where do you get your songs?

[Mr4Pedro]

this mixer has loop in and loop out ?

[rossuk123]

please do another vid like this :D

[rossuk123]

brilliant vid. i might buy the rmx

[amglpamglp]

does it connect directly to the computer, or do you need an interface?

[digitrich]

@amglpamglp it connects trough the computer using a single USB cable, no powercord or adaptor needed!

[usamaverickusa]

Gute Arbeit! Good work!

[Matbri1]

wot songs do u use???

[Matbri1]

u should really become a dj... you'd be very good

[Vulcan821]

im just starting to learn to DJ i lik this model but i read a review that says its for proffeshenals ONLY should i get it or not if not do u have any suggestions?

[AlexosMusic]

@Vulcan821 they say its for pro's because it doesn't have an internal sound card, It's meant for DJ's who already have a great soundcard, but I don't see why a Steel+sound card is ONLY for pro's. Yes it's designed for pro's but you can use it as a beginner. Some consoles you also need to consider: Hercules Steel/RMX, Numark OMNI/Steath. Steel is a great choice.

[verdagio09]

If youre a beginner getting a controller is a good idea! :D

[Zenanimator]

does this have a built in sound card?

[Fanariii]

No, Hercules dj control RMX does.

[npullens]

what soundcard do you use with this????

[vincenzhouse78]

Realy nice !! I was about to buy it after seeing your video, but I took a numark's pack (the ibattle pack, not exactly the same thing). But that one looks really nice too, with more possibilties than the mk2 for example. (sorry for the grammar, I'm french ^^)

[kniffa]

thanks, very nice demo

[yannisgoossens]

Very nice demonstration (:

[digitrich]

thanks!

[BumbsAndBallerSound]

How do make 1,2,4,8,16 an 32 Takt loops By Hercules dj Control Steel ? can you make a tut ? pleace thanks ( i am a German Boy ;D)

[559drumer]

can this config. with gemini pro edition software?

[AlexosMusic]

Nive video, the RMX has a soundcard and the steel doesnt

[ThisSickMusic]

@AlexosMusic what exactly does the soundcard in the RMX let you do that the steel can't?

[Right3ousMan]

Hey guys im new to the dj stuff. Just purchased a Hercules rmx and im running vdj LE. I just have it connected through usb and i cant get it to play through my laptop speakers. Do i need to connect some audio cables or what? please respond!!

[Stackz17]

what are the differences between this and the hercules RMX?

[iMCHERBOI]

@Stackz17 Hercules Steel does not have built in soundcard, and Hercules RMX has a Built in sound card, u can plug in a Mic, Headphones, Speakers Inputs and more to the RMX

[permafrost183]

does any1 know if the Hercules Steel DJ controller can be mapped 2 traktor pro?

[digitrich]

This is no problem, there's a config file with the mapping settings for Traktor you can download for free.

[mz888]

so good
