    SCRIPT:
    Now, the DJ Control Impulse 500 is a beginner DJ controller priced at $300 dollars. It comes with Serato DJ Lite, and DJuced software.
    And this unit has everything you’ve come to expect from a premier DJ controller like large Jog Wheels, 16 RGB Performance Pads, and a solid 2 channel mixer with quality faders and knobs.
    But where this controller just blows the competition away, is in its hardware quality like its metal faceplate and metal knobs.
    And in its many audio input and output options such as its 3.5mm and RCA Aux Inputs, and its RCA and PL Master Outputs.
    This controller also features an exclusive beat match guide system, that can visually help beginner DJ’s, know where to jogwheel and apply their tempo faders - to better beatmatch their songs together, without the use of using sync - and I’ll get to this later on in this video.
    So here’s a quick summary of my review:
    The DJ Control Impulse 500 is one of the best beginner DJ controllers to come out in a very long time. Though it costs $300 it is worth every penny for every feature you will get.
    Because this unit just screams quality.
    From its metallic faceplate to its retractable feet, Hercules did an amazing job, in making a product that will not only cater to a beginner DJ’s needs, but to amateur ones as well.
    So if you’re a beginner DJ vying your way to learn the art of DJing the fastest and most effective way, this unit is for you, and if you’re an amateur DJ looking for a budget controller, to help cater to your professional needs, like multiple inputs and outputs, this controller is for you as well!

    Came to watch this review because I was on Best Buy's website to see if they could repair my DJ controller. Stumbled upon this and was like "wait, only $300???" Equivalent gear from Pioneer would be pushing into 500 at least for the same features. This seems like a flagship DJ controller, minus only having 2 decks, no dedicated fx, and a short pitch fader. Incredible for the price.

      @@djcarlo i guess 🙂 i was using an hercules Air S Series for 2 yrs because I'm a deejay and everyone makes fun of me for having a small dj controller and other DJ's are using big controllers and i couldn't afford one. And few days back 200 people came to my dj club and after seeing my small dj controller they just left 😞 and my manager got angry at me and they said if i didn't buy a big one u will be fired. And i don't have enough money . So i posted my phone online for sale ( still noone came). And in selling my old dj machine the small one ( still noone came). And i asked a friend and it cost like Indian rupees 42000 and it's not even affordable for me it's like 500$. And i asked a friend and he have pioneer DDJ RB. And he told me to pay half now. Then pay others half before June 15. It is till a small controller . But I'm thinking i should use my 2 controller in same desk and use it so it looks like 4 deck.
      Everyone are not rich as u bro. There are lot of stuggling DJ's like me. Taking families priorities in hands.

    The entry level scene is getting really competitive. I guess my only issue is that you probably do need to purchase serato dj pro which makes this almost as expensive as the kontrol s3, which is more pro dj ready even though traktor may be dying. That being said I would love to get a serato controller as im a rekordbox dj and would like to have the option to learn both this is a great option

This quarantine has me really thinking about it even more. I’ve been immersing myself in your videos and other DJs on UA-cam. Honestly... is it too late to start now?

    I've had mine since November and, I must say,, I am absolutely loving it. I think the RGB lights are fine for brightness - on a PC anyway. It's a shame Hercules didn't go for a USB 3.0 interface though as that would allow for a higher bitrate and more power to the unit - but, again, the brightness of the pads is fine on a PC so maybe use a powered USB hub if you're using a notebook/laptop.
    DJuced is pretty good in my opinion so I've just been using that, even though I tried Rekordbox 6 (crowded and small UI), Serato Pro (ugly UI), Serato Lite (pretty useless with only four hot cues) and Traktor (meh). It is a delight to use and I'm enjoying finding all the little bits and bobs. It's a lot to get used to after so many years using old software (MixMeister Pro 6 - don't laugh to hard please, it's all I had) but I reckon I'm doing pretty well so far. Well worth the money.
    I'm on all the streaming platforms, just trying to get some mixes out there but subs would be greatly appreciated ;-)

    I prefer this controller to the DDJ-800 now even if the DDJ-800 has more features (including a dedicated FX section).
    I got the Impulse 500 used in “like new” condition for $240 including sales tax and it was basically an open box item. So I was definitely lucky in that buy haha.
    I use Algoriddim’s Djay Pro for my software instead of Rekordbox since AlphaTheta is charging an arm and a leg for subscription. I also use an iPad Pro instead of a laptop for my DJing as I prefer it to a Macbook. More portable and I use SoundCloud GO+ and Apple Music which are integrated into that DJ software app.
    I have a question though, can either of the pair of outputs be a booth output? E.g. the RCA outputs are for the master channel and the 1/4 or 6.5mm jack outputs are for booth monitoring? And vise versa?

    • @djcarlo
      @djcarlo  5 місяців тому +1

      Unfortunately, this doesn't have a booth output per say. But you can use both at the same time to connect them to the main room speakers, and a booth monitor. Only caveat is that you won't be able to adjust the volume of your booth speaker from your controller

    I have been Djing for about a year and love this deck. Recently, however, I have started more complicated transitions that involve heavy use of layered effects. The only way to use 2 effects at once is to assign both knobs to one deck which has to be done manually using a mouse (on serato pro at least). This is not ideal when I then need to apply an effect to the other deck. I am going to try djuced (which i have been reluctant to do because of how much I spent on serato pro) to see if the fx are configured better like on a mode of the pads. A dedicated fx section would have made this deck unbeatable.

    I just got it as a secondary light-weight equipment but it disappointed me, knobs and faders feel either too heavy or too light. For example tempo fader is very light and eq knobs are heavy to turn. The jog wheels and audio output could be more precise I think but giving the price it is what it is I guess
