I am having a hard time deciding on these two products. They both cost about the same, but what should i get? I am mainly looking at build quality and functionality at the moment. It has to last. Which ones' buttons/faders etc are more accurate/sensitive?

One question i also have is what is the sound card specs on the Hercules?

Thanks.

I would avoid both. Behringers controllers are actually not bad, but their soundcards is not to great and I heard of problems with both the BCD and Hercules.

If you want a reliable and good sounding setup your much better of getting a separate soundcard and controller, but of course it will cost a bit more.

I'm not too clued up on that type of DJ controllers since i find the CD emulating style far too limiting, but I use a BCR2000 with an Indigo DJ and despite the low cost it's a good sounding, flexible and reliable solution.

My girlfriend has been using the BCD 2000 for a couple of years now & it still works just fine. Behringer is crap generally but surprisingly the BCF/BCD/BCR series are all very good.

I never used the hercules but i didn't read too many good reviews about it.

Maybe you should also consider the M-audio Torq Exponent & Vestax Vci-100, they're more expensive but they're definitely going to be a lot better:

Those two are way too expensive. I was then maybe thinking of the numark total control? How is that?

Thats offtopic but yeah deckadance is best tool for pc djing as much as I know, and I tried them many.. It supports VSTs, MIDI lines importing, and whats best, u can use it to spin on turntables with every timecoded record without having any additional hardware.. That means u save a lot not buying serato or final scratch.. U only need records.. Thats what Im planing to test this weekend, hope it works, it would save a lot money.. Only problem with serato records is that it doesnt support positioning of the track and needle in.. But it will do for start, than if everything runs smoothly I was thinking of getting those Pinky records cause they are fully supported..
