Hercules rmx vs rmx212/28/2022 ![]() Another little gem is that you cannot use the Mic, and both inputs at the same time. It also will not assign properly should you choose to just midi map it all the way. they've got that thing locked down so damn tight, that it's their way or the highway. You cannot re-assign the buttons on the RMX like you can with the vestax. Most people probably won't care, but I'm a purist. it's better than nothing, but I really don't think the results are quite"professional" over a large system, i think it sounds like garbage. Hardware eq's are always preferred over software. also, the eq's are software eq's so they are not as crisp, they sound like crap, and are very easy to distort. but that's probably why those cards are $225 (almost the cost of an RMX) and the whole RMX unit is $320. side by side, my M-audio delta 1010 or echo indigo dj will kick it's butt sound wise. the sound quality of the rmx's sound card is better than your average on board sound card, but if you're used to a high quality Card, the RMX will come up short in comparison to it. the inputs on the rmx are basically sound card inputs, so anything coming into the rmx's input jacks goes through the computer, and back out via the mains. for example, if your computer crashes, you cannot use the rmx as a mixer to play cd's through. ![]() But then I have upgraded froma MkI console which was far worse!! Hope this helps, RoyÄon't forget that the RMX is completely software dependent though. I haven't come across the button issue described here. Headphones now support output mixing which is great for mixing and the jog wheels in tempo mode are easy to use when beat matching where VDJ hasn't quite got it right - the tension on these can also be adjusted underneath via a screw. ![]() The external inputs can be either CD or Vinyl and either can feed timecode signals to VDJ or can simply pass the audio from the external kit out through the Rmx to your mixer/amp. The fact it is a mixer is also advatagous. Sound quality is excellent, I have had several DJ's comment when hearing my set up, that they didn't realise I was CD/Vinyl free. The latter work far better when connecting to PA amplifiers and/or beringher style mixers. It has several inputrs and outputs and the main outputs are either phono (home stereo levels) or 1/4" jack (+4dBu) connections. As described previously the fact it is a standalone, high quality sound card makes a real difference. The jog wheels can scratch or tempo control, at the touch of a button. If you want to encourage DJ Dad to add any of these customization to future versions of the skin do him a solid and send him a couple of bucks through paypal.I recently upgarded from a Hercules DJ console to an Rmx and I must say I am impressed. It took me a while to get the skin to this point but it's worth it and I can do so much more because of my mods. Just keep the trial and error going until you get it exactly how you want it. You can use emojis to theme your skin! I also was able to insert my professional logo between the volume faders using the same font in the skin xml that I use to create my logo in photoshop! It's all possible! I highly recommend other users getting familiar with virtual DJ code and start messing about with your favorite skin in photoshop and editing the xml with text edit or another similar program. Even the lock icons next to the pitch faders are emojis and not images. All of the text you see in my mod of the skin including the play button logo is actual text and not images. I should note that it's also possible to make a skin retina compatible. I'm providing this latest snapshot as a proof of concept to let other users know that there are virtually no limits to what you can do in personalizing a skin to suit your specific needs. I've made changes to the way I tag my tracks and as a direct result I had to make changes to the way the skin displays my tags. I've gone so far off the reservation with my optimizations and customization that it might not work for another DJ's setup. Under normal circumstances I would do it but in this particular case I don't think it would be a good idea. I've had a couple of people approach me to provide a download link for my mod of the skin.
