Review: Very Impressive - Worked straight out the box. Connected via the usb lead provided to my Mac. Serato asked if I wanted to use laptop speakers and changed the setting in audio out in Serato so didn't have to use the master audio out as it played from the sound out on the Mac. Good because that's the setting I was at so didn't have to change anything. No audio latency issues when I tried master out and computer out simultaneously. Serato is a good program because I am completely new to DJ decks and it all has been quite intuitive. Serato is set in the preferences to show my iTunes library for use in the main program and it can also play from my Mac music app at the same time as using Serato. This is good as all my music is around 500GB and it gives me access to it all whilst analysing bpm and key. Good fun!
Review: Great product - Packed with a punch! Great for the size.👍

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which adapter is needed to use with iPad and djay**
A: Hello Amazon Customer,  you can use the iOS Djay app on iPhones and iPads connecting them to the controller via an Apple Lightning Adapter.  We invite you to check the Hercules DJ channel out on Youtube for more details how to connect the devices.  If you need more information, ask for Owen through the customer service (https://support.hercules.com/en/contact-en/?p=DJControl%20Starlight). Kind Regards. Owen from Hercules Team.

**Q: My iPad is on ios 9.3.5. Is this compatible?**
A: Hello Amazon Customer, If you have a lightning Apple adapter it's is possible connecting the Hercules DJControl Starlight with your iPad, but the iOS compatibility depends on what will be the DJ software you want to use once the software is responsible to provides support for the devices. For example, the Serato DJ Lite is not compatible with mobiles and the Djay Pro is compatible, but requires iOS 11.2 or newer. We recommend you to contact the DJ software support before to order your product to make sure you will have all you need. If you need more information, ask for Owen through the customer service (https://support.hercules.com/en/contact-en/?p=DJControl%20Starlight). Kind Regards. Owen from Hercules Team.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rekindled a 26 year love affair with music
*by G***E on 2 June 2020*

So having DJ'd in the 90s and had decks, records, played at bars and nightclubs then subsequently grown old and gotten rid of all of those things I suddenly found myself watching a ton of DJ mix sets during lockdown thinking, "I can do that". So a bit of research later and these controller things are everywhere. They range from amazing massive stations to teeny ones like this. Given that it was clearly a bit of a midlife crisis I opted for the smaller entry level one in case I came to my senses again. On arrival I smashed a ton of YouTube videos and I was off. Setup is easy but you really want to get this linked to iTunes to get the best out of it, using serato lite gives you limited crate capability so I build my playlists in iTunes and they appear nicely. I'm using a windows PC which is not exactly modern (M3 processor 8gb ram and SSD) and it doesn't take more than 30-50% CPU. You will need an external speaker or amp to hook up to and headphones. Some config might be needed, I found the cue and master out weren't in sync but you can tweek latency settings and you get there in the end. All the usual controls are here. Volume, fader, bass/treble control on one button to save space, not the best control but it's small so you have to make sacrifices, this knob also doubles as a low/high pass filter which is nice but it stores the last place of where it was on the other function so you have to trick it sometimes with a little flick. Pitch controls are only +/-8 which isn't great, couple with the fact that they are small again and you have to really be precise with your adjustments. I REFUSE TO USE SYNC. That said it's there for those who want to use it and it does an ok job but that's mostly due to software (more on the later). Lastly it has some cool lights that you can tweek to be on the downbeat, flashing, fading, custom colours. At first I thought they were a bit cheesy but with the lights out they are cool. Wheels/platters - I'm more of a mix DJ so vinyl mode for me is no use, I've never scratched but have seen people do stuff on these. You can use the middle of the platter for scratching and the outer for nudging but when you disable vinyl mode the whole thing can be used for nudging which was the saviour here as the sides are too close to other knobs and sliders. They have a good bit of friction so aren't going to run away. Other buttons - cues are markers you set on a track to jump to or show where a bassline or vocal kicks in, very handy! These buttons then double up to do loops of beat sections, FX which can be quite fun like flanger, phasers, echos etc. And then a sampler bank which is limited in the free software but gives you the customary air horn. All the same buttons using a shift function. Very clever use of space. Serato - you get serato lite for free. I suggest anyone who gets this tries in advance. It's a good bit of software (judging by my own experience of this and nothing else) however it tries to be too clever sometimes. It will analyse the wave form which is great when looking for visual cues, it then applies a beat grid so you can see the downbeat but also counts these in 4s so to try to give you a clue where to come in, this can be misleading and I've learnt to often ignore these and use my instinct and knowledge of the track. You can edit them if they go wrong. One major issue I have is that the software can key shift so you get a tempo change only but the record doesn't change key, I wish this worked all the time but it doesn't, it can add some serious warble to tracks so I just leave off. The other issue I have is the constant BPM on screen, I don't use sync and I'd rather not have this there so I can mix by skill. It is a massive distraction and not always 100% accurate. You can upgrade to pro and the are always deals on for packs and trials, pro gives you a more detailed interface but most importantly for me - recording! Though if you wanted to do this you could input into a mixer or get a y cable and record into something else, while recording I occasionally get a freeze up but once in a blue moon for a second or two but not good mid mix. I've just read back my review and it feels like I'm being hard, this thing is cool, it's small, it's easy to use, I've had hours of fun on it and it packs away in a draw, in a rucksack with a laptop and a portable speaker and you have a fully mobile DJ rig. If you are an old fart like me who wished the Hacienda had never shut then this is for you. You will need to spend time on your MP3 collection though! If you are a beginner then I can't say if these are right for you, I think I can mix on anything (I had the worst soundlab dlp3 belt drives) but for a few quid more Hercules does a bigger controller and that might be more suited to new hands. Either way get into it, don't hold back, play it loud and use hearing protection (and if you get that reference give yourself a pat on the back)
