So I decided on a Hercules Inpulse 500, then of course I come across a lot of reviews and it's extremely well liked.
$300 w/new headphones and a new cord for in/out depending on how you connect it.
It has an aux input and a mic input - so I think I can go without a mixer now.
It's physically bigger than my last controller. good, and bad for table space and gear box.
It lights up!! So I won't have to watch my laptop for clipping/volume.
MUCH easier to mix in my phone/second laptop with the aux input than using the mixer.
VDJ 2021 just saw it and it works.
My old laptop w/ VD7 (win 7..2021 won't run on it I believe) won't run the 500, but the 200, 300 are listed. Oh well, not an issue as it's the lighting/backup and i've used phone out on it forever.
No time today to hook up speaker and truly play, but I can do that tomorrow morning and have a better idea of all it can do. It will definitely improve my world!
