    @RealDJblaze oh yeah, don't see many reviews with this much detail so it was a great way to get an idea of what I'd be getting. and Thanks for the quick response, I plan on purchasing pro so I'm guessing they have a work around in there for some kind of keylock

    Surely you could use this standalone. All you'd need is one of those wall plugs which has a USB connector on it and you'd be good to go, unless it won't operate without being connected to software.

    GREAT VIDEO amazing detailed info, exactly what I was looking for, Only question is, I'm basically sold on the 4-MX but one thing i really wish/hope is on this and I'm just not seeing it is like on the Numark pro Is it has a keylock for speed changing without losing the key the song is on, is there a feature for that in VDJ 7 pro? I don't recall Haven't used VDJ in forever but this would make it the perfect fit + like

    Mine just arrived today & it's a big disappointment. When installing the drivers, the software opens another installation window, which makes it impossible for the drivers to be installed. how did you get the drivers to install correctly? I've been at it for hours, uninstalling, reinstalling the drivers from the Hercules site, uninstalling & reinstalling while holding down the mic on/off button & the drivers still won't load properly. Big diasappointment.

VDJ LE is very limited, so I upgraded to VDJ 7, only to find out that this piece of software does not work properly with this device on W7 Ultimate X64. VDJ didn't want to refund me the money, so I sold it on ebay (for a lot less :( ) and bought Traktor Pro 2 instead. Works WAY better ! Nice Review !
