Hi guys, I'm looking to get an external mixer and I know that the Mk2 comes bundled with a copy of Vdj3 so you're probably the best source of info regarding the hercules! I've read how many of you own it and appear to be experts!!
Firstly, have all of the Vista problems been ironed out with the drivers + software?
And secondly, are there any plans for a mk3 or similar? It's been out since 2005 and now there's a funky new OS to run it on I thought they might be looking for a new model. Either that or any news on another similarly priced system which is better than the MK2? I've read through the very comprehensive hardware comparison but again it uses the MK2 as the 'entry-level' mp3 mixer if you like. It's quite a big purchase if considered with the full version of VDJ and I've read so many reviews saying all the buttons are too close to the jog wheels (which can't be temporarily disabled) for it to really compete with the more professional systems.
Thanks for your views!

And also (sorry forgot), Can a Mk2 and a copy of VDJ be installed on two simultaneous systems - e.g. my laptop and desktop?
Thanks
Thanks

yes its version 3.4 (home edition)
for vista users a special update was made called 3.4.1 (home edition)
the issues seem solved
the home edition can be installed on one pc only
to learn what is included in this release
look at the comparison
for acess to all skins Version 4 and lifetime updates and plugins ect
and a two computer licence you should look at upgrading to pro if you get the console
there apears to be no public plan for an mk2 yet , although owners of the mk2 have been recently surveyed on their opinions but its a long way off yet

Thanks for the info!! Couple more questions before I buy my mk2 - Amazon seems to be the cheapest online - any advances on £131 inc delivery? Also, when you buy the pro version of VDJ does it include all updates e.g. if it is upgraded to v5 ?
Cheers for your help

Have a good play around with the supplied version as it seems to have most of the required features. Use the trial of VDJ Pro and see if you think it justifies the extra cost

Without meaning to sound too pessimistic, I hope you have better luck with your Mk2 than I had with mine! E.g. incorrect functioning second jogwheel, parts rattling about inside, grounds being unscrewed etc..
On the other hand I can use it fine with Vista for TCV and get a 1ms latency with it using DirectX mode :D
