I have about 900$ to spend and I am looking for the best vdj controller (can be for serato(other programs) ect too)
I have bought the hercules rmx 2 years ago and really like it and I am ready to upgrade to the full VDJ version now but I really want a new controller because the RMX is not really clubby-djy looky and the hercules just does not offer what I need.
What are some good ones? I am willing to spend up to 900$ but if it costs less that would be of course better!
All help very appreciated

Denon MC-6000. Works faultlessly with VDJ and the mapping can be fully customised to your personal preference.
Rock solid build and the mixer section is very high quality.
I have used one in the club since December and it is simply brilliant!

The NS 6 is perfect for both and has a small foot print, and has flight case available that make it travel ready.
I just bought a 6k and its specifically for my small compact set up.
The other is a coffin plug and play ready combo of 3700's and a Numark AVM 02.
Either of these units would be my favorite choice at this time.
The question as always is....whats just around the bend thats gonna blow your mind?
That said, either of those units have LONG TERM benefits with this software regardless of what is next imo.

The NS6 is Not for trickery Why do all the big famous House, dance Djs use cdjs and they are not scratching djs.. You buy what you feel more comfortable using. Dont buy something based on " I dont scratch so i will get a hercules Rmx, or a Mc6000 " Bigger jogs feel better and thats why its preffered more by the pros.
Between the MC6000 and the Ns6.. Ill buy the NS6 anytime. Its a more comfortable deck to mix on and its not big. Its the right size and very light.

Another vote for Denon MC6000. Have had mine for 6mos now and have been taking it out to my club gigs even. It also works well with Traktor. Solid build. It can also be used as a standalone mixer.

I haven't used the NS6 first-hand, so can't really comment on it, but I do have the Denon MC6000, Numark NS7FX and V7. Also an American Audio VMS4 that will be going up for sale as soon as I get time to clean it up and post on ebay.
I would suggest for the money, the MC6000. It is small and dependable, can be used standalone, and has a good mic section (with hardware-based echo.)
The VMS 4 is very similar, but the mic inputs suck unless you get the free 'band-aid' adapters which take up valuable space. Mine came with a badly soldered optical jog wheel sensor which I had to re-flow myself because American Audio couldn't guarantee they would get it done in less than 4 weeks.
The NS7 would be just out of your price range, even without the FX module, but it is very nice and a lot of fun to use, but has some issues. For one, the mic input goes through the software and I have never been able to get it to work without giving a delay. If you don't use the mic much, then that will probably not bother you much. The other thing is that it is not capable of operating standalone; that means if your software dies, then nothing works. The MC6000, VMS4, and I believe the NS6, are all built ontop of standalone mixers which can mix without a computer when necessary.
V7 is also nice, but requires an external mixer.
Also, I have had plenty of Numark gear in the past and although they are better quality than most of the low-end stuff, they do have a relatively short life. They get the infamous 'flaky button' syndrome that any active Hercules owner knows too well, they just don't get it as quickly as a Hercules controller might. Denon might also have that issue over time, but I have never experience it as quickly as I have with Numark and especially Hercules products. I am very confident that my Denon HD2500 would still operate like new if I were to open the coffin it has been entombed within for the last year. Denon and Pioneer products are probably the only ones that I generally replace primarily for upgrade reasons rather than because their hardware failed.
I hope this gives you some food for thought. If you do decide to go for the MC6000 (or anything else for that matter) be sure to go to Musiciansfriend.com and sign up on their mailing list. I got mine for $650 by waiting for one of their 20% coupons ;)

wait to hear from some others though... there are plenty of other controllers out there that I haven't tried.

I am also a big fan of the Reloop gear.
Aluminum jogs have a feel I appreciate both in the Reloop and the 3700's.
