But we had no trouble finding where things were, and with an hour’s practice we felt completely in command of the various functions.
Alas, we find the controls to be a bit small they are also closer together than we are accustomed to on systems like Pioneer’s CDJ-500 MK2 and CDJ-1000. Most of the controls are fluorescent, which is practical in dark dance halls. Not only does DJ Console have the right buttons and knobs, but the play/cue/beat controls have built-in lights.

The skin we’ve used is called Mix Station Titanium, and is found on the program’s website. Just remember to switch the skin, as the original couldn’t be uglier. The picture above shows Virtual DJ in action. If you already have a Traktor license, you can look forward to a good time with DJ Console, and it shouldn’t be a long wait now. Hercules and Native Instruments are working on adding support for the popular Traktor program, which contains many functions that are far more advanced than the included software can manage. You don’t get much help finding either the song’s tempo or first beat, but if you like doing things yourself, MixVibes is excellent. Occasionally it also fails to find a song’s tempo, so you have to check it before mixing in the next song. But don’t be fooled by where it thinks the beat is – sometimes it misses by a mile. Virtual DJ by Atomix makes beat-mixing simple and fun. But they function well enough with a little testing. The programs that come with DJ Console are of varying quality.
