First time poster, so be easy on me!
Been looking for a while on getting a DJ Controller and saw this incredible deal. Second hand they usually go for around $550, so yeah. Jump in while you can! Previously was going for around $520 new (international).
CamelCamelCamel.
Yep! Very excited I found it :)
I've got an Traktor S2 Mk2 atm which I'm learning on and this is tempting, although this is way more recent, i'm not sure if it's worth sidegrading to another 2-channel mixer. Thoughts?
Too late. Snagged it already :D
Good man. Great time to be in the landfill business.
Great find - I'm still learning on a basic Hercules Starlight controller and know I should hold off until I get a lot better, but this is tempting!
How is that controller btw? Any good?
I really rate the Starlight for beginners, and I guess for those more experienced but needing an ultra-portable solution, plus it seems to be well-reviewed.
Build quality seems pretty solid, my main issue with it is that it can feel a bit cramped and now that I've started playing with Stems in Serato, I wish I had dedicated buttons to trigger them like on newer/bigger controllers like the FLX4
Yeah cool, I've actually never done any DJing, just music production, but thought I'd give it a crack. Any reason why you chose Serato over Rekordbox, or is that just what it works with?
@dottjt: Mainly as the Hercules starter kit (including the Starlight controller, speakers and headphones) is designed to work with Serato DJ Lite (free download) and came with a link for video tutorials using that software/hardware combo.
I was also more aware of Serato at the time due to a number of the DJs I watched streaming using/mentioning it, and shortly afterwards saw their launch of the Stems feature.
As I understand it, both Serato and Rekordbox have their strengths (e.g. the latter is supposed to be much better at music library management) but it may become a moot point in the future, following Pioneer's parent company's acquisition of Serato a few months ago.
I would get this. The Starlight doesn't have dedicated EQs, which are essential when mixing (unless you are just doing wedding/pop mixes with quick crossfades). I think the essence of a "good DJ" is track selection in the end anyway.
I bought the DDJ 400 a year ago. This is the update to that, and I must say, I love my DDJ 400, its such a good entry level controller so cannot reccomend this enough for this price! An absolute steal!
Showing $447.08 now
damn, wonder if the discount decreased, or if the price was increased
I’d assume Japan-Australia exchange rate fluctuations
Is this an app? Where do you put the records?
It's a controller for an app or program essentially. Can use it with Serato, Rekordbox, etc on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, android etc.
No vinyl or physical media required.
Has anyone ordered one? It says it'll arrive in November. I understand it's Japanese stock but that sounds ridiculous
Mine has already arrived. Ordered on the 8th
what delivery date did they give you originally?
I was also told it would arrive in November (like nearly 2 months) but mine is arriving on Thursday.
Mine initially said mid October, it has arrived in Melbourne today.
I ordered some Pioneer CUE1-BT headphones from Amazon Japan a few days afterwards and they've already arrived.
Is the Japanese stock any different? Do you need a different adaptor? Is the language in Japanese? For the FLX4
It arrived today. No diff as far as I can see. All English. USB-C connection to computer so no need to worry about AC adaptor. Can also be powered by USB-C to power adaptor.
Lowest its ever been according to camelcamelcamel. nice find - https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0BLSJZC94
