Learn to mix by hand – the lights show you which way to move the tempo and jog wheel. The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 300 MK2 is a 2-deck USB DJ controller for learning and progressing quickly. Its Beatmatch Guide light arrows teach you to match tracks manually, and it comes with Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED (with the built-in DJ Academy). It is also compatible with Serato DJ Pro.
