There is no "best". Controllers are designed for different needs. It is a personal choice, so experiment and have fun finding the one that suits you.

Hi,
I purchased the Vestax VCI-100 yesterday and played with it for a few hours. Though it is a professional controller, I did not like the way it worked and synced with VDJ. I would dare to say that possibly the VCI-100 unit is synced up better to traktor cause with my system, needs and with VDJ, it did not impress me at all. Sure I could have tweaked it via midi file assignment, but I like the convenience of total PLUG AND PLAY. The Hercules MP3 Control (which I was upgraded from) was more VDJ responsive in my opinion. AND it's just that, my opinion.
I was interested in getting the Numark Icdx or Pioneer 400 as a controller. I am very old school and I love my levers, sliders, buttons and crossfaders so the Numark, though it looked cool ( and priced right), was not the way for me. I have an M-audio fast track pro as my present soundcard ( and wanted to keep it) so I was looking to upgrade from my hercules Mp3 console.
I decided after returning the Vestax unit from just purchasing it after just a few hours, to exchange it for the HERCULES REMIX CONSOLE. LOVING the heck outta this. The unit KNOWS VDJ, syncs mad lovely (meaning awesome plug and play!)
Sound quality is pretty good for the price. Plus if I want to go timecode and do the vinyl thing later I can.
For the price, Hercules Remix:
1. works totally well with VDJ
2. looks pretty pro so that's a plus
3. has the advantage of the soundcard built in, so it's an easier set up to transport.
4. the unit and features are laid out pretty well.
I like keeping my controller and sound card separate, but in this case the REMIX CONSOLE is working nicely. I have been practicing and playing with it for hours today. So far so good. Check the wikipedia for set up and follow that. I did and my computer, software and controller are all one happy family!
Just the way I like it.
Good luck,
Junito Perez

DN-HC4500 with a DN-X500 mixer. You can control the video and audio crossfader this way.

Hey, i am no pro by any means but i do have one thing i can say :) The nurmak Total Control is a great Bedroom Controller. If you are serious about DJ'ing like i am just starting i feel (and this is only my opinion) that looks a very important and i would never be seen in a million years in a club/bar with the Total Control. It really is a toy, i did not believe the many comments and went and brought the DJ IO + Total Control, its been 2 weeks now i am flogging them for the Vestax vcm-100 (as i have a macbook pro on the way they just look sooo good together with the laptop stand rk-100) and also 2 x EKS XP5 (so i have more control for efffects etc). Hope that was of help :). Tim

the only problem which i just found out after I purchased a RMX is that it doesn't have touch sensitive jog wheels--so if you are looking for a true vinyl feel forget it. there is a scratch mode that is useless cuz you cant even hold the beat.

if the virtualdj dev team (or even enthusiast programmers) would actually work and include seamless support for the Numark NS7 (meaning every function is mapped and works instantly) then it can be the best PROFESSIONAL VirtualDJ controller available.
all the others are small, and is designed for portability and home dj's.
