Two Decks, Two Tracks
Mix two music tracks with the DJ Control MP3 e2's controls. It's simple--select the desired tracks through the software using the mixer's browsing buttons (no mouse is required). From there you've got two jog wheels to navigate within tracks, along with EQ for tweaking your sound, pitch control for beat matching, headphone monitoring on/off (for prepping the next track and setting cue points), and a crossfader to cut back and forth between tracks.
Simplied DJing operations
The MP3 e2 boasts several user-friendly automations for the beginners out there (or those who appreciate a little ease of use). Cue points (e.g., where you'd like a track to begin) are suggested by the DJ software in audio file analysis, or you can enter them manually. In addition, you can synchronize two tracks with the push of a button if you can't get it lined up manually using the pitch control.
You also get an automatic looping feature, with the software detecting the beat and automatically looping on the 1-, 2-, or 4-count.
Make Your Mark
Along with the EQ section, you can make your mark on the music with on-board effects and scratch controls. The effect plug-ins include Flanger, Beatgrid, FlippinDouble, and Backspin. Scratch effects include the Baby Scratch (a quick forward scratch/backward scratch combo), Tear Scratch (forward scratch, quick backward scratch, slow backward scratch), Forward-only and Backward-only scratches, and "Pass-Pass" techniques (playing the same track on both decks with various scratch/fade/etc. effects).
MP3s, WMAs, and CDs
The MP3 e2 will play back your digital MP3/WMA files, but it also handles a CD in your PC/laptop's disc drive. Simply load the CD-Audio track in your playlist on a DJ Control MP3 e2 deck, as if it were an audio file, and you can mix it immediately.
The Ultra-Mobile DJ
The DJ Control MP3 e2 is perfect for mobile use, with an included cover for easy transportation. Throw your computer, the DJ Control MP3 e2, a pair of speakers, and some headphones in a bag and hit the party.
Save Your Mix
Hit the record button in Virtual DJ and you'll have a copy of your mix to share with friends.

Hercules DJ Control MP3 E2 Reviews
| 86 of 89 people found the following review helpful:  Great DJ Mp3 Controller, By Well forget all that, you can use this little unit for ALL DJ gigs. Arguably it is marketed as being designed for entry level/enthusiast use while other models like the MKII or RMX are touted as being more suited for professional use. With the exception of built in Headphone/Mic/Input/Output jacks, they are all the same (and the software that comes with it is a little less feature rich, but for $50.00 you can upgrade to Virtual DJ Pro). How do you cure the above? it's simple. - a $1.99 USB Audio Sound Card - for monitoring while the main output goes out the main laptop sound card and the soundcard has a Mic input as well so you can use it or the mic input on...

It worked right out of the box without any configuration. == Pros == * High-quality faders. Volume faders are solid and don't budge unless you intended them to. Crossfader moves freely, which would've been perfect for scratching if it weren't for one fatal flaw (more on that later). * Nice, intuitive layout. Everything is where you would expect it to be, and does (mostly) what you'd expect it to. That alone is the most important thing, and Hercules delivers. * Working 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 were actually on the bundled CD (yeah, they were out-of-date, but that's besides the point)! This has got to be the first piece of PC hardware I've ever owned that actually had working drivers on the CD. I applaud Hercules for doing what everybody else should've been doing to begin with...

The bad: -The included software is Virtual DJ DJC Edition. Unless you upgrade to the Pro version for an extra $250 there are going to be some limitations of what you can do with the software, the most important in my opinion: -The software does not open if the unit is not connected. Big issue if you want to prepare music with your laptop without... Read more |
