My main question is do the latest versions of the RMX still have sound-cards? My main concern is that the unit can do what you mention, cue and hear the song your before play it to the audience. Im moving up from CD's finally and have a Macbook Pro less than two years old so I assume it should all work well for me. On another note it comes with a lite version of Virtual DJ, what the advantages of the full version. Thanks!

I was considering the NuMark OmniControl but the Hercules RMX has had better reviews and I like the layout of the controller over NuMarks. I look forward to purchasing the Hercules RMX and plan to use it with my Mac. I've been DJing for over 12 years and I'm slowing moving to all digital. Currently use iPods along with my table-top CD players but looking to consolidate. Keep up the good work and hope you review more DJ gear. Thanks.

Being the bedroomdj i am I must say its a sweet thing to use *proper* hardware instead of just software. About the skipping i havent noticed any on my dj console so far.

I have one question though. How is the scratching on the system? I am by no means a professional but is it workable? Is there a delay after you let go of the jog wheel? Thanks Hey, great review.

I was actually looking at getting the Vastex VCI-100... Anyway, now that it's been a while since you wrote your review and now that you've had time to really put the RMX console to use, are there any other cons for the RMX? The only reason I'm asking is because I too like to get more bang for my buck. Let me know your thoughts.

I've been using the phono ins just for recording some of my vinyls to MP3, and it works great. I think the ability to use time-coded control vinyls depends on the software you're using - I'm not sure if VirtualDJ allows this but I'm pretty sure Traktor does. but the two phono inputs definitely provide this opportunity if your software allows it. yes- you can use the two phono inputs for vinyl control like in Serato, although I haven’t tested this.

I just got the rmx console as a gift the other day and im thinking about returning it.....Can i use this interface the same as lets say serato?? meaning if i hook up my two turntables to the input/output's will the virtual dj software recognize it and allow me to scratch/mix similar to serato? or are the input/output's just strictly used for external add on's? hope you can help thanks!!
