Hercules DJControl Inpulse T7, 2 Deck Motorized DJ Controller with built in STEMS Control, Serato DJ and DJUCED included

This is hardly a "budget" controller in the sense that you can get $150 little controllers that have jogwheels and all the buttons and knobs you need. But there is nothing like a spinning vinyl platter for a scratch DJ. The other dual spinning platters on the market are in the $2000 range. So compared to those this is indeed the "budget" model. It has all of the essentials and then some. It's got a beat match guide, with lights that help you master beat matching. Which is perfect for beginners. It has the 8 performance pads per deck, meaning 16. And each 8 has 8 different modes. Some of them you can program in your software. Speaking of software. That's what outputs all of the sound, effects, and mixes you do. This is just a controller. I highly advise if you are serious about getting into DJing even for a hobby. To watch some videos about different DJ software out there. Serato Pro, DJay Pro, Virtual DJ, and Rekordbox are among the top popular. I chose Virtual DJ myself. To get good performance. You need a PC or laptop with atleast a good i5/ryzen5 or i7/ryzen 7. And I would suggest 16gb of ram. To use "stems" which is an amazing tech that can separate the voice from the base, strings, and basically all of the individual elements. This allows you to do amazing things like rip acappelas straight from any song. Back in the day DJ's would have to buy separate acapella versions of the same song. And you can blend different sounds from different tracks together for amazing new mixes. I personally like to rip voice out of songs to use as scratch samples. There are some other good jogwheel decks out there like the Pioneer Rev1 but this is about the most affordable (and nice quality) deck controller that has dual moving vinyl platters. And the thing I like most is this looks like an old school 80s battle DJ deck. Just miniature size. It's got a sick look. And I dig it.

Everything was good. Delivery on time safe and sound. Product works great!

It turn off on its own but the turntables still move. I had a wedding and it didn't twice and at a bar I deejayed it. This unit was 799 when I first bought it in October and now it's way less. I wonder why! Pure trash. Save money and buy a pioneer!!!!

So I'm still fairly new to DJing. I've been serious about it for less than a year, but I saw this and couldn't pass it up. Obviously the star of the show is the motorized platters. They just make you look like a more seasoned DJ. There is a slight delay at started. I get around that by using the cue buttons to get the music started and then activate the platter. The next big advantage (for me at least) the the dedicated "instrumental" and "vocal" buttons for Stems. Being able to toggle these with the push of a button have absolutely allowed me to easier mix/blend songs in different ways. On the flip side it has, rarely, just stopped outputting sound for no apparent reason. I was only practicing so it's never happened during a performance but yikes, what if it did?! Also, I don't know if this is a symptom of the controller or the software (Segrato Pro) but sometimes the tempo won't stay set where u put it after u adjust the slider. You can't "set it and forget it". When you are testing the mix in your headphones you'd better check that the upcoming BPM stays where you put it and make adjustments if needed. Anyway, I have 4 controllers and this is the one that allows me the most functionality to unleash my creativity. Definitely recommend for newer DJs looking to take their craft to the next level but don't want to spend 4-figures yet.

Easy mixing

I’ve had it for about a month now, hasn’t disappointed me.

So far quality and smooth functioning has been surprisingly good and with excellent sound. I'm having fun with it and it's a good buy for the price.
