I hope you guys can reply quikly, because I think there are also others who want to buy this set.
(Again, sorry for the bad English).
I would actually go for the Hercules because of its 4-deck functions, which allows for future creativity but you should wait a little more for some reviews before buying it. Research around a little as well.
That is actually a pretty decent deal. However, the NDX 200s are a little too basic. The whole setup is too basic actually. I’d rather go with NDX400s, the price difference is actually worth it. You can play from a pen drive which makes life a little easier. It also has some extra functions, which I forgot. If you’re going with the deal, make sure you are able to test it. It’s always good practice to test gear you get online from a cheap deal. make sure the crossfader is working, the players are playing properly and the EQs are doing their job.
It depends if you want to go controller or analogue. If you go controller, you would still need a laptop to mess around with, or at least a home computer. If you go analogue, all you need are CDs. Or, in the case of the NDX 400s, pen drives. I would go for analogue if I were you. Learning curve is a lot steeper but it’s actually good to learn all of it. It takes more determination if you go analogue and it takes more patience because of the learning curve.
Of course, you can learn the same things with controllers and the learning curve is less steep. You also have more functions to mess around with, you can download more effects for your softwares, you have hot cues, you can watch waveforms, beatmatching is a lot easier.
But I guess I would argue that it takes a little of the fun off DJing. I’m actually thinking of buying an analogue set myself when I have the cash but as of now, I’m really contempt with what I have.
