      that was my first controller too and it was ok together with traktor instead of vdj. But the new hercules instinct are crap and the jogwheels are maded with 3 buttons that are ged pressed if you press the jogwheel down and swing it(or just tipping instead of swinging). I think the best was the hercules mp3 e1, because the metall gear and because it has mic and headphone in/out but that one i never have owned by myself. I think about buy one to mixing outside with a rasperry pi and mixxxx(mixxx on pi 4 is nice, but the hercules instinct are to much crappy.

      @@roaming_phantom_le6th210 i think it dont realy care if you choose traktor, serato or rekordbox. Maybe vdj is enough with soundcard and if you dont want to use any effects or samples from vdj itself.But without soundcard like with the mp3 e2 i have the problem in the history that i have really bad quality. Maybe vdj have fixed it with the time now, but idk at the moment i only use Traktor and love it. But with serato or Rekordbox i have no experience :c but it should be very good. And Mixxx is maybe a try woth too (its free/open source and avaible on windows and linux(i use it only on linux, but i think on mac should it work to). That one have suprised me, because it works very nice to with a god quali and very very very very nice custimination(i use it outside with a rasperry pi and connect with my handy to it to see the mixxx gui on my handy and it was not really hard to make changes in the gui or in other words you can make custom themes, scripts, mappings and other thinks that i never have saw before in a software to mixing

      If you plan on primarily making music, go for a USB Midi keyboard/controller combo. There's a lot of variety here, the most popular are Akai mpk mini mk.2 (And mk.3 has been released not long ago) and Arturia Minilab. They both have knobs and pads that can serve as CC for DAW and instrument control so I think it's the best starting point
