According to our DJ controller expert
If you're a beginner DJ who wants to learn how to mix and beat match, the Hercules DJControl Instinct P8 is perfect for you. You don't need an audio interface since the controller has an integrated sound card. This allows you to immediately connect your speakers to the controller and start mixing music. Thanks to the touch-sensitive pads, a lot of functions are within reach. With these pads, you can loop music, add samples, and set cue points. You won't depend on the sync button alone, since the P8 has 2 pressure-sensitive jog wheels. The controller includes the full version of DJUCED. This way, you can get started immediately.

Our son ,9, had it for his birthday. He is very happy with it. He needed some help to start up, but once everything worked he could do it all by himself. The sound is good, a party can be celebrated with this!

Less than 100€ for a set that a professional DJ could get started with. Easy to install and very solidly built. You do need an external amplifier or an amplified speaker. It also only works in combination with a computer. (This is normal, but it's best to know before you gift it to your kids, they're going to need your laptop.)

In terms of price quality, this controller is definitely recommended, the operation is very smooth without any noticeable delay. The controller is also very compact, which is very handy when you want to DJ at house parties.
