I've been out of the loop for a few years. I had a Hercules RMX controller and could not grasp easy mixing. (I'm old school with vinyl). Has anyone found an easier or better controller lately for mixing say house/progressive/disco music?

there is no "easier" "best" controller out there... reason being all us DJ's have different needs & we dont know your need... as in do u need spinning platters ? static platters only ? dual mics ? a bunch of buttons & effects ? im also an old school dj started in 1983 on TT then i went to Numark NS7 (because of spinning platters) but as i got old i dont want to carry heavy ass stuff like the NS7 so now i take out my LiL compact Denon Mc4000 which has everything a Mobile DJ needs... so you not going to get a "best" answer your only going to get what certain DJ's like because of their needs :-)

What do you think was the problem with the RMX that made it hard for you to use?
Have you tried any others? That's really what you need to do, I think. Get hands on with a few different controllers and see which ones you prefer.
What's your budget? That could be a limiting factor here. The better controllers are generally more expensive.
I use a Pioneer DDJ-SX2 and a DDJ-RZ. The RZ has "full size" jog wheels like a CDJ-2000, and their amount of "spin" can be adjusted (loose or tight).

I understand that every dj needs something to fit their needs. I have no needs other than trying to get a good mix, lol. The spinning platters would be nice but like mentioned; they are too heavy for us older guys. The digital vinyl was the best but again too heavy and too many wires; and to walk into a club and switch wires around does not work. It's a shame I missed the dj convention in AC. I should have went and played around with diff models.
