Very helpful and informative. I’m looking to get the Hercules and this answered all my questions. I’ll use this controller for prep, back up, and playing music at my leisure. Perfect for book bag
I'm happy with the Numark DJ2Go touch. It's a great backup to my main one. I like that I can practice scratching and able to browse through my songs. It does for me what it suppose to do as a backup and something to practice with.
You missed the fact that you can't load tracks from the Starlight controller you have to use the laptop, but the Numark dj2go2 touch allows loading from the controller.
That is EXACTLY why I went for a DJ2GO2. I find it more useful to have a knob to scroll through the library and buttons to load tracks than I do having buttons for effects.
Thanks for the video man, Good idea about the bumpers, how did you made them or where to get them? Another thing about browser , you can browse with the Jogs, i don´t know if is a subfuntion of the controller or a mapping but i have seen it on some video.
The bumpers i used are those mini stick-on rubber footings. I got them extras from thin client PCs. As for the browser, i think some controllers do have functionalities for that, otherwise you may have to do some mappings.
I heard that for you to use the Numark with all its features you would have to purchase Serato DJ Pro even if you already purchased it for previous controllers. I think its crazy that numark makes you buy a new Serato subscription when you already have one. Is this the case for the Hercules controller? Can you use your existing Serato DJ Pro software?
Great comparison/ review. Bumpers awesome solution. I would like to replace the nobs for pitch and crossfader for Hercules unit. Is it hard to pull them off?
@@kitpag sent both mine back, coming from turntables after 20 years they just don't cut it. Vinyl is so much more satisfying and takes more skill. Great for beginners or someone who likes the digital age. But putting a vinyl on a technics 1200 turntable platter is one of life's pleasures haha
@@kitpag except not having to carry a thousand pounds of vinyl records in weight alone. Vinyl is like a CDJ without a display, it’s all the same principle and in the end, it’s a medium that is largely inaccessible by multiple factors including expense and a now limited selection of music. There’s a reason that even vinyl has been moved to digital through the advent of timecode and what-not.
This is EXACTLY the video I needed. There needs to be more button by button visual comparisons between controllers on youtube.
Thank u 😊

So. After adding the bumpers, which one do you now prefer for scratching? @@kitpag
@@imaniinternational7853 hi. I still prefer the numark because less clutter on the surface. The knobs on the hercules kinda gets in the way.
@@kitpag Hello and thanks for the reply. Good idea for the bumpers too👍🏾
Thank You

Not really. These are basic controllers built sufficient enough for Serato Lite :)
Just buy virtual dj pro, is far more superior than serato,it's way easier, and your licence will work for all controllers.

Is it hard to pull them off?
Thanks. The knobs are not loose but still very easy to pull off.
@@kitpag Thank you for your answer! I will try it
Could you share which bumpers you used (please if you can provide a link). Thank You
@@josegarcia6616 They look like the rubber feet that you buy to go on the bottom of things. Searching "Self adhesive rubber feet" should do it.
@@kitpag Great solution on the crossfader bumpers - it was really the only thing I slightly disliked. Well, that and the plasticky buttons...
This has made me go with the hercules one as the numark looks like a toy
Me too 😊

@@RappersDelight808 yes, i used vinyl too in the 80s. Nothing beats that. It takes a lot of skill to be a vinyl dj.
