The Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) in DJUCED suggests well-suited upcoming tracks to be played from your music library, and in Beatport LINK as well (Beatport subscription required). In addition, the compatibility of the inpulse 500 with Serato DJ Pro allows users to upgrade to professional grade DJ software seamlessly if they so wishes. We knew going in that this device was designed to impress, but we had no idea just how powerful an entry-level controller could be. The easier way to reset to these settings is to use the « Reset Audio Settings » button with the Diagnostic Tools: https://www.

The ability to mix external sources, toggle advanced features with dedicated buttons and stand up amongst more expensive hardware. The button to toggle the vinyl mode is found in the top left of both decks with dedicated controls for slip and quantize either side.We were extremely impressed by the versatility here, especially when you consider how limited many beginner controllers are when it comes to offering input access.

It allows to make from 1/16 to 8 beats loops and “stutter” effects without losing the phrase of the track. Create transitions and build-ups with ease using the integrated filters, effects and a 3-band EQ and take your mixing to the next level. In addition to the two channels for the decks, an aux and a microphone channel are both added, so that nothing will stand in the way of creative performances.

With Serato, you’ll really need to upgrade to the full Pro version of the software if you want to access all the functionality you get with the DJUCED.It’s a small detail but one that stops this controller being possibly the best Serato DJ Lite controller on the market. To avoid crackling, popping sound and distortion, you should optimize your Windows computer for DJing. While this isn’t a software review, it’s worth pointing out the differences between this and Serato DJ Lite: You get four decks (although you can only control two with this controller), there’s key detection for harmonic mixing, it has Beatport and Beatsource as streaming services (against Serato’s Tidal and SoundCloud, at the time of writing), but you also get French streaming service Qobuz too, which doesn’t appear in any other DJ platform.
