2024, just acquired this thing and it blows my mind. Keep doing doing what youre doing Denon
Best all in one I’ve ever owned ! Better than pioneer !
Thanks Danny. Is the touchscreen glass or plastic? I have had MCX8000 and the plastic screen (although not touch) got scratched very easily.
Dj's will never be totally satisfied. This thing is a beast. And a turntable type of guy, and this thing has really impressed me.
hi mate,can u use a usb for each
channel
How can touch capacitive jogs impress a "turntable type of guy"?
The prime series almost covering all Dj aspects, its time that Denon will rise again...
A few months later we can see that they've failed miserably, as expected. Crappy software is the nail on Denons coffin!
@@TheFunkloft A few months later we can see your same miserable copy-paste Denon-bashing everywhere. I thought Pioneer as 'club standard' doesnt have to put up with that? Software is absolutely fine in 2020. Not perfect of course, but RB wasn't any better either in the first 3-4 years. 🤦♂️
@@m-stat9 "RB wasn't any better the first 3-4 years". Are you high? I've been using RB DJ since the beta and even in that state it was infinitely better than the absolute mess Engine Prime has proven itself to be.
@@m-stat9 And again, stop acting like a polarising child. Not everything is black or white. I'm not bashing anything because I really really wanted this device to succeed. If Rekordbox would be compatible with it I would be extremely happy. Unfortunately, it isn't and I sold mine after a month of tinkering with the horrible Engine Prime software.
@@TheFunkloft i certainly was not better in any way. As long it was powered by Mixvibes it was trash and all Pioneer DJs I know fully agree here. It became a great software now. So there is no reason to throw around nonsense like 'failed miserably', because its simply not true, polarising child yourself 🤷♂️
I'm beyond happy with this standalone controller. Game changer in my opinion.
RIP Pioneer...……….
I said I would never return to Denon - the Prime4 brought me back to the Denon ecosystem. Love that it continues evolves. Good job Denon 👍
Getting better every year! In 2017 I was still sceptical, but at the end of 2020, nothing really more to complain 💪
So far it handled my 5tb hard drive
I am definitely getting one.. No laptop awesome. Game changer for sure. Denon your the man!
Got Denon prime 4 for my birthday and I’m soooooo in love with it!
LOVE mine bro.
I have a XDJ RX2 and I have to admit this is a dope unit. I won't be changing though as I really like Rekordbox and the way I can practice on it then head to the clubs. Its the one reason I left Traktor. If Denon ever gets big in my country then I will definitely change in a heart beat
Sihle Makanya I just got the Rx2 as well I love the controller, besides now I'm broke I don't think I'll change to anything else. I'm not huge on this cause it kinda takes away the point of CDJS and that's y pioneer didn't make the Rx2 a 4 channel system. Keep in the mix my dude!!
@@therealmfDarqness no they didn't make the Rx2 a 4 channel, but they did release the 4 channel XZ in direct response to this
GHOODSITE except you still cant do 4 deck standalone so regardless is just a beefed up RX2 im gonna go Denon Prime 4 next
Picked up my Hardware last week and not disappointed, it is an Amazing bit of Tech and has a high quality build.
33:26 I hadn't been aware about this easy 4-to-2 deck switch via Shift+Deck until now! 😳 Neat!
Excellent Q and A...
The questions were random but relevant. I kinda wanted the video to last longer than what it did...
great video! I really appreciate the demo of all the cool features like key lock and other stuff I did not know what it was supposed to do
DENON PRIME 4 for the WIN!! LOVE MINE!!!!
Great run thru. Awesome unit.
I love Denon Prime 2 and 4
Engine 2.0 out now for the prime 4. Love to see it
I love it
Definetly I'll get one, just waiting to c serato integrated
Yup i've been mixing for 28 years and for the past 20 years or so i felt the industry was too dependent on an external computer. Heck ive only trusted laptops to not fail the past 10 years. I sometimes host karaoke and love using my controllers and softwares to play and project. Now with an fx on 2 mic lines, i dont have to bring a seperate mixer with fx processor every time. Less set up time.
Gonna break the bank and call my supplyer this week. Im sold.
I have this and it is an unbelievable machine. I am literally in love with it. Denon customer support is horrific, mind you. But the Prime 4 is a beautiful lovely thing.
Pioneer customer service ain't much better. Check their forums. Yikes!
This is a nice kit.... We'll see how it does in the harsh night club environment, switching DJs, sweaty hands, heat etc...
why would it not hold up? CDJ 2000 NXS are mostly plastic...it's not like these are made of wood
@@darsure3006 Hahahahahaha LoL exactly...
From a dj that uses the cdj1000 mk3. The denon is very impressive. Btw my prime 4 comes in 3 weeks
15:19. Laughed way harder than I should have at that for some reason.
A good move for Denon would be to NOT make this controller and the current line obsolete/discontinued too soon. Let them catch on. Let them grow on people.
Sadly they've stopped making the MC7000, which is basically a PERFECT Serato controller.... totally kicking myself for not snagging a second one before all the stock sold out.
There's a few things that still keep me from being ready to ditch Serato and move into something like this... no sampler, no stop/brake time knob, and would still need the computer for Sound Switch.... maybe by the time my MC7000 dies, they will have added these into the next generation of Prime Standalone units...
Love its big screen...instead of 2 tiny screens
There is an awful lot of snobbery in the DJ world. Very few semi-pro and pro DJs wouldn‘t be seen dead playing on anything other than Pioneer. There are exceptions like Carl Cox who uses some Traktor hardware. Denon are showing the way forward, let’s hope their prices stay competitive 👏👏👏
Well done! :)
This machine is a beast, the best controller I've ever played on so far, I own one now. But this controller is only for the chosen few. It cost a lot but it’s worth it & it's unbelievably heavy to carry, you have to earn the right to carry this beast. I want to buy another one just in case. So glad I got this 🙏🏿
P.s this works amazing with virtual DJ 🙌🏿
Hi mate, do you know if you can hook up an android phone and transfer music direct to a folder then play that track? Thanks
@@PhilGood369 hi I haven't tried that yet but I'm sure it will, I plug a keyboard in to my prime 4. To help type faster & it worked so I'm sure the phone will
@@PowerzChannel thanks for the reply. If you do give it a try, please send us your results. Much appreciated. 👍
@@PhilGood369 ok I will do 🙏🏿
Took back some used rane 12s and a numark scratch .not disappointed at all the scratch isn't the best but for my needs its good and maybe a future update will make it better .could just be the super loose jog wheels I'm no jazzy Jeff any way .just miss those spinning big platters maybe a prime 5 .but fun to mix on have noticed when switching from deck 1 to 3 or 2 to 4 the pitch fader doesn't respond right away but could be used error but shits dope rock solid
Nice video. This may have changed my mind from pioneer/rekordbox!
They've bought a real impressive unit to the table, a lot of people are going to be feeling that!
I have DDJ 1000 and I loved it. But I hate the fact that it locked to Serato. I think for every DJ it good to be able to plan on 2 different software at least. Am lack of knowing how Serato work. But am thinking of selling my DDJ 1000 and get this Prime. But am worry of Pioneer will be bring something to match or challenge Denon
@@sharedjexperience9699 If pioneer will bring something similar it will cost you at least 2.5k and it wont have all those features
@CursedSound I don’t think so, knowing they have a lot of others brand to compare with. DDJ 1000 price was not bad. The only problem is, if pioneer come out with something great, they will still lock it to Serato, just like DDJ 1000. I think I will be selling my DDJ 1000 and get Prime 4, to work with Serato and get DDJ 400 for Rekordbox for backup
dorian diddles this is not about Rekordbox or Serato. Am talking about me personal, want to learn 2 software in order to be able to play on Rekordbox and Serato
you guys should do a Sound Switch demo like this with the prime 4!
Great review!!! Has Denon abandoned the MCX8000 now?
Thank you for posting this video. I have a quick question, my Seagate external hard drive is not compatible with engine prime. I ma using window 10, what the beat external hard drive that is compatible with engine prime?
Thanks for this video. Question what is the stand that the Prime 4 is sitting on? I would love to have that for my living room to place the player on :)
No problem, hope it was helpful! The Prime 4 is on the Sefour X90 stand, it is available from us here: www.getinthemix.com/accessories/stands-accessories/dj-equipment-stands/sefour-x90-digital-dj-stand_1.htm
buying this fucking beast for sure.
want to run 4 stems for backing track use. Can it also output a metronome? can all tracks be started at the same time - and have every song preloaded. want to be able to mute or unmute different stems, depending of which band members are present during the big show. Already know all the other devices out there - so question is specific to this tool. No laptop, multiple outs, mixer built in, stereo tracks - and hot cue use
I wish I could have it for Christmas
I have already ordered one of these bad boys!
Wonder how to update the firmware???? It has ethernet port, but it sounds like it's only for linking to other devices.
WIFI built in, would make this MUCH better.
I'm SO excited to get this!
Would have to confirm with Denon to be certain, but we'd suspect it will be via an update file on a USB stick for the firmware.
You're going to have a lot of fun when you get your hands on this!
It comes updated, ready to go out the box. Love mine.
Wow everything looks so awesome! there’s gotta be a catch! So what’s the catch?? Where’s the weaknesses and the problems? Any??
It really feels like there must be a catch with this unit but we are yet to see it. It's solid and packed with features, the only test left is the test of time!
doesn't have full sized jog wheels....might not seem like a big deal but for scratching and turntablism it's a huge difference....if this had full sized mechanical jog wheels it would be an insta-buy for me...
@@darsure3006 agreed.
No sampler, no stop/brake time knob, jogs aren't the size of SC5000/SC6000, and still need a laptop to run Sound Switch.... maybe I will ditch Serato for the next gen of this type of unit, for now I'm loving my MC7000 and praying it lives on for a really long time...
Mi sai dire cortesemente se è in grado di registrare una performance direttamente su chiavetta USB ? grazie
No ano de 2050 compro uma dessas ainda
I have question about hot cues.
I was trying Prime 2 today and there was one thing I couldn't figure out. Whe I use my MC3000 together with Virtual DJ I use a lot of Hot Cues. The cool thing is that each time I use any of my Hot Cues and then press CUE button music stops at the last Hot Cue I used instead of going back to "main" cue point ( the one next to PLAY button ). It's so annoying that in Prime 2 each time I am testing my Hot Cues I have to find the way to go to the one I like. For example I want to jump to one of them and prepare loop... If I just pres hot cue button It starts playing and I cant set the loop.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Is this possible to make Prime going back to last Hot Cue I used? I was testing only with original OS without updating.
Can it record analogue from turntables to the hard drive?
PLEEEEEESE VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO THANK YOU !!
denon dj it can do continuous play list? thank you for support
Yes it can
thank you
how do i blank out the beat vice versa the chorus to play differnet music on different beats
Can I hook up my Akai MPC one to this prime 4 and my guitar 🎸
Does someone know what is that piano track playing, I couldn't read it off the screen , also can't shazam cause of talkover.
It could be: Keep the Music (Tony Postigo Dub Mix) - let us know if that's the right one!
can you use timecode vinyl with it
Can i sync my novation circuit to it? can it send out a midi clock?
There is not a midi out on the unit
The prime 4 is my wet dream.
Can you run serato on the prime 4?
It will support serato dj within this year
3:51 does someone know this track? I cant read it... :( haha
Ill buy a prime 5 just want bigger vinyl jog wheels
And a magvel crossfader like the pioneer ddj1000 has. Annnd the ability to play SAMPLES
Might be selling the mcx8000 now
Sell it 2 me bro
I'm not one for conspiracy theories but he called in the lockdown at 1:00
Could it be any bigger? What happens if the screen breaks? Is there a 10 year supply or will you have to purchase a new unit? You know how mov g parts go. What happens if the touch screen fails? These are valid questions for someth8ng that costs they s much?
the screens can be replaced, they said it in another video.
Can confirm what Djernie said, we did actually ask Matt about that and he said they have made the screen replaceable, but will need to be repaired by Denon of course.
not expensive. price is less than 1 cdj. just buy a new unit. just too small for my taste
You mic/audio is jacked on the guy to the right.
There was quite a bit of variable voice volume throughout the video so tried our best to level it out, hope you still enjoyed the video.
Funny question, but I heard a rumor that you can’t search by title. Someone please tell me that I am wrong. Can you search by song title?
Yes you can 😅 only thing I miss is the sampler but I use channel 4 and run my samplers through the cue pads 👍
@@Callowbrook92 , that is a workaround I have debated.... also, no Stop/Brake time knob... and still need a laptop for soundswitch....granted, laptop dies and at least the music continues and you can turn some lights back onto sound mode or something...
No video playback yet
No sample player???
Sampler, stop/brake time knob, amd jog wheels more inline with the prime SC5000/SC6000 and I'd be sold... I use brake time, and sampler player a lot in Serato.... samples on deck 3 or something, as one would construct a scratch sentence, would be one halfhearted workaround, but would by no means be an equal to the Serato sampler function...
Maybe bybthe time there's a Mk2 of this I will be ready to leave Serato, currently loving my MC7000 and wishing I'd have snagged a second one before the last stock sold out.
That's an interesting Ethernet port lol
This might be a stupid question but I’ve seen multiple videos of this unit and I haven’t once seen them demonstrate it playing all 4 decks at once, this IS possible isn’t it????
Also how does the pitch fader work with two decks playing on the same side? For example if I’m mixing on the second deck on the right underneath a tune already playing on the right, can I use the pitch fader to beat match without effecting the currently playing track or does the second deck need to be synced???
yes you can play them all at once. put a song on deck 1 and 2 get them playing then switch to deck 3 and 4 and get a song going and raise all the decks volume. done
The pitch fader is active for whichever deck you have selected, switching deck also switches the pitch fader. As for playing 4 decks at once, yes it does!
Is it worth to have 4 channels instead of 2 like the prime 2????????
he said nice litlle future 10.000 times , now thats a nice litlle future
I wish Denon was a club standard.
How can i contact u
Phone number is available in the description of the video or you can email us: info@getinthemix.com
I feel for all you youngsters that missed the glory days of the Technics 1210 mkll's even the 1200 were very good. I have all my flight cases stacked up like a wall in my study when i would turn up to play anywhere it was a given that you would have 2 x MK 2's and a big Allen and Heath or something, pretty universal. Some of the booths were amazing to play in, the Fith Man previously the Gay Traitor had a spring system to stop the records jumping. Now you need a fucking A level to work some of the digital stuff, a lot have not been able to adapt and have gone by the way side bar a few. It's enabled a far more conservative crowd to get into the digital kit and become exellent. Bare in mind that most of these kids are born with it, you can be taught to mix but you can't be taught how to read the energy coming off your crowd, that is something your born with. A bone of contention is these controlers and cdj's which i use, will play and mix the damn music for you. Counter intuative. Even the music is very conservative. As i said i feel for all those who missed The Thunderdome, Quadrant Park, Hacienda, Renaissance, Cream all gone in their original formats. There's no music made that works dance floors into frenzies anymore. I just think theres to much of it, digital equipment and it goes obsolete a year after you had it. What can it do?
You've never been to a drum and bass night if you think there's no longer music that whips dance floors into a frenzy. 4/4 'edm' has been trash for years, long live breakbeats.
I do think everyone should start mixing on vinyl though, but it's just far too expensive to kids now compared to mp3s, plus all the extra equipment needed like u say. Damn shame
@@nickd86 if your younger than 45 you missed it. I will say however Drum and Bass still manages to keep an underground following but when you see them hopping round their handbags in high heels it's time to fck it off. Look for footage from Quadrant park in Liverpool, see what you missed, and then tell me your going to Drum and Bass nights with the same atmosphere.. The people of the time had different attitudes.
Sample player would be great..
Can it handle chops?
It can, we had a test of that ourselves :)
@@GetintheMix bet can't wait to buy this
That’s the audio out not LINK lol (other side mate)
Were CNN I buy on
Why would you buy SC 5000 setup when this does it all?
MOHAMMED ASAD if something happens to the Prime 4, then you’re out of luck until you can get it prepared. However, with the SC’s, because every piece is individual, it’s a lot easier to give up one unit to repair, and you can still function with the other pieces.
OV Tings fair point
I'm torn between those options as well, when someday I switch from Serato and my MC7000 into a Prime setup of some sort...
The things keeping me from jumping in at this time, are the prime 4 doesnt have stop/brake time knob... prime systems don't have a sampler like in Serato... and I would still need a laptop for running Sound Switch.
I love it but am I the only one that did not hear the key mixing sound harmonic after they adjusted it.I saw it done before and it sounded more harmonic.Hmmm.
Just received my pair of prime 4s yesterday within 10 minutes of mixing the screen went blank and wouldn’t come back on, the touch screen worked but the lights just went, getting sent some more tomorrow. So up to know not good but hopefully these work perfect and can actually try them out aha
Pioneer has now had a kick up
It’s money grabbing arse
Goodbye Traktor🙂
Sorry I'm dj Habboos from Nigeria,
I,ll stick to my 1200s ...thanks all the same...
3 Tips importantes que lo hacen un controlador "mas de los mismo":
1) No tiene efectos análogos e independientes como el ddj-1000.
2) Jogs muy pequeños y Denon insiste en ello este 2020.
3) En serio terminarás con dolor en los brazos de tocar la pantalla touch en un set de cinco horas y esto no es muy normal en un dj , pues más parecerás el cajero de un supermercado.
Tiene para 4 pistas independientes sin ordenador, la pantalla solo la tocas para seleccionar y arrastras canciones con el dedo y si tienes la playlist ya creada no hace ni falta y creo q si un dj le duele el brazo por arrastras el dedo no deberia hacer un set de 5 horas sobretodo cuando lo mas normal es ir a por cds o vinilos, dependiendo de que pinches, cuesta ligeramente mas que los ddj1000 pero bastante menos que los R2, la unica pega que les veo, que ni es pega es los jogs pequeños, todo lo demas es comodidad y ultima tecnologia
Muy interesante esos razonamientos que expones. Me gustaría saber estos equipos que calidad de sonido tienen cuando los sacas de casa y los usas con equipos con decibelios.
Everytime the denon guy says something about the controller the other guy says exactly what the dude just said and said so your saying I can bla bla bla … lmao
I got it, and got rid of it.
1. There's no CDJ mode with paus/stutter. Only two Vinyl modes where the only difference is how the top of the platter behaves.
2. The external connections don't have access to any effects but the filter. How about that for a surprise when you hook up your turntables or a pair of CDJ's.
Those were the 2 things that in minutes took me from extremely excited to very disappointed, but there were several more things that really didn't live up to my expectations. All the extras all of a sudden becomes unimportant, when the basics isn't there. My Prime 4 ended up under a blanket for three months and I just got angry looking at it. Three months is how long it took to get someone else to buy it, and it wasn't even in stock yet. I lost time and money believing Denon finally had came out with something I could use, but no, not this time either. When you cut out important features that's been on just about every piece of gear since the 90's, please talk about that and explain, or you get DJ's like me who's been decades in the business telling every one everywhere not to buy unless you have the chance to really test it out first, and our recommendations to the clubs and venues where we play will not be any of the Denon line up.
In my opinion they are for personal use only and the only chance you're gonna like them are if you're strictly coming from a controller background, where you will be familiar with the layout. For the rest of the pro DJ world I can't see it happen, unless you either implement those basic functions or at least are being honest about it when you showcase your products. I have two colleagues who also bought the Prime 4 and as of today they've also sold theirs, hugely disappointed. This is why, three years in, the new Prime series still is not anywhere to be found. ...and it could so easily have been avoided. Someone at Denon should have a foot planted...
I'm not owning any Denon gear yet, but they got me interested, I'm just saying that for clarity, but as I understood by watching a lot of videos, you could have requested these features to be implemented as it can be done with a software update, and it looks like Denon really listens to people's feedback.
@@Bejeerk Yes, you are right about that, some. But as someone working professionally I can't wait. My gear needs to be fully working from day one, or there's nor reason to buy that gear yet. Unfortunately there's no time schedule for when what will be changed or ever for that matter.
The downside to have a software based system to the degree Denons new gear is built, is that while it keeps cost down, it also means that things like all the effects will be disabled for everything external you connect, as you can't route that signal through the software. At least not the way they have constructed the Prime 4, and I suspect the Prime 2. The filter is the only effect that is built in as a hardware effect and will work with your turntables and CDJ's.
If you only intend to use the internal players, of course it doesn't matter, but for me and most pro DJ who's been in the game for a long time, it's extremely important that a huge centerpiece like the Prime 4 will handle all external gear the same way as the internal players, because we have loads of different gear we like to hook up and use. This also goes for every club, bar and event where different DJ's will use the unit and some prefer CDJ's, and other turntables. To not be able to hook this gear up and use it with effects disqualifies the Prime 4 in my book, and for many others
.
To me it feels like Denon only consider their gear to be used as personal gear, like controllers are, and also they only turn to people that has no other gear they seriously wanna use in combo with the Prime 4. This is where Pioneer has the advantage and why you see the XDJ-all-in-one series in many DJ-booths today. I have a colleague who ordered and got the Pioneer XDJ-XZ the first week it was released. He got it on a Friday, took it directly to an event and unpacked it there and played on it for 5 straight hours. That's the level pro's expect the gear we buy to work, nothing less.
Denon is not there yet, and soon 4 years of trying has not made Pioneer even blink in reaction to the gear Denon has marketed yet. I love competition, and I love gear that makes my job easier and more fun, but most important I need to be able to trust my gear to work every time for years without surprises or repairs. Also it needs to be flexible and suit different ways to play, including the way I've been using Pioneer and Denon gear since mid 90's. In the end, for me, it is a work tool that pays my bills, and nothing else. Pioneer has fulfilled that need since 1994. In that time I've never had a unit fail on me and the little maintenance that's been required, I've been able to do myself. ...yet, I was hopeful and did buy the Prime 4, and it failed.
But, this is my personal experience and opinions, and for some the Prime 4 will the best investment they could ever do. I comment on things missing in all the reviews i watched before I invested $2000, that would have prevented me from spending that money to begin with, if I had known about it. Hopefully, it will help someone else to make the right decision for them. As a side note, Denons´ product manager did contact me after I initially wrote about my experience with the Prime 4, so indeed, they listen to their customers, and I'm sure they will fix most of the things I and other raised concerns about. Still, that is for DJ's who can wait.
@@dj-peterofficial2753 That's a totally fair position to have, I understand where you're coming from and respect your opinion. I'd say that for now Denon is trying the water, see what people want and act on this. But it is true most of the time, if not every time they present their products, they mention mobile DJ and wedding DJ more than clubs, and I think that's the public they're aiming for, for now at least. I own very old Pioneer gear and I thought an update is needed, that's why I'm looking at reviews, and your comment really interested me, hence why I replied. Tbh, Denon gear if full of features most people wouldn't use, such as the hard drive port for example, artists wouldn't store their own music for copyright issues, even lighting directors clear any data that has been saved for copyright reasons, but I mean, it's good to have the option. Also, I don't like that they called reverse "censor", we ain't kids (also why is it so flashy looking, doesn't look professional, that's why I like the SC6000 better than the rest of their products), but I like that it slips by default, and a switch for the reverse would be better too. In the end I think the only feature of value for me that Pioneer doesn't have on their gear is the key sync and change option to be able to mix in key. Well, that and the layering of players that is pretty dope. And in the end it's much cheaper than Pioneer, I always wanted to have 3 CDJ-2000Nexus2 with one DJM-900Nexus2 for the type of sets I do, this would cost me around 9k iirc, while 2 SC6000 and a X1850 would only cost me around 4k. This is much more affordable and because it's a software inside, they can improve on it, so it can evolve, thing Pioneer gear can hardly do. But I totally get that you sometimes can't wait for a feature, it has to be there from the get go, and I think with Denon listening to people's feedback it'll reach that point where it'll be perfect. But they have yet to really push their products to the clubs, that's where they'd get the best feedback imo. I haven't made my decision on buying Denon gear yet, but I'm looking into it, I plan to go try their gear to make my opinion before buying. I'm interested both in the Prime 4 or getting 2 SC6000 and a X1850, the latest solve the issues you had with the Prime 4 if I'm not mistaken.
@@Bejeerk Whichever you chose in the upper echelon of pro gear, you will most likely be satisfied. When it comes to playing in key it is something most pro DJ's have done for a long time. In rekordbox you have sorting functions that will help you access the best options in your collection as you can use several sorting options. On the NXS2 and latest XDJ-models you have this sorting function on board. Personally I only use file name info. With the help of Mixed-in-key I insert the key in the file name in to every song I want to be able to mix in key. I play a wide variety of music and depending on the situation, sometimes the right track is more important than mixing in key. As this has been a part of my toolbox for many year,s I didn't really raise my eyebrows for that possibility on the Prime 4. I also use Platinum Notes 4 from M.I.K. to correct the gain, dynamics and pitch to avoid clipping, which makes my music library sound extremely clean on very high end systems, even on very high db's. This is something the Prime 4 can not do, so my prep routines wouldn't change at all despite all the extras the Prime 4 can do on the fly because of the computing power it has. I think a lot of pro DJ's are in just about the same situation as me, which is why we don't really appreciate those extras the Prime 4. And, not to forget, the Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 is over 4 years old, and we know Pioneer will present their next gen player later this year. This time they have a complete new situation where they can copy and paste a few things and add their own spin to it. I think that is the most scary part of all :) . Changes is only good when they add value. If Pioneer takes something away, I think DJ's like me will quickly buy an extra pair of NXS2's just to be sure we are set for the rest of our DJ lives. Mine are 4 years old and is practically as new. Another two and I'm set for the next 10 years or so :) .
@@dj-peterofficial2753 Regarding Denon's ability to mix in key, what I like is that you can change the key of a track independently from the BPM directly on the player, I think that's really cool, so you can play anything you want, you're not restricted. But you make a fair point on the Prime 4, humans are creatures of habits, but I don't mind changing mine. And I'm curious to see what's coming next from Pioneer, will they deliver, or ignore the Denon threat, because even if it looks like they don't have much to fear, Denon still is coming hard for them, but I don't think they'll take anything away.
Why is sampler missing here,the machine is beautifully built but the jogwheel too small for this beast,let's put back pioneer now,keep calm on builts not to be as denon dj mxc 8000"s fader pls
You cannot rely on the Prime 4. Don't buy.
I purchased one for my neighbor ordered on January 23, 2021. He is a high end DJ that lost everything due to a stroke. He has practiced and is great. He is working on videos to post on CZcams and getting gigs in Asheville and his cross fader is sticking and the left start/stop button stopped working. I don't recommend this since its supposed to be for professional DJs. You cannot rely on it. He spelled Larry Levan (1986-1991) of the famous Paradise Garage in New York. Larry was his mentor. He is planning to do a memorial to Larry Levan in Asheville, NC clubs, etc. and post a memorial video on CZcams AND the left start/stop button?
Indian prize plz
About 1.5 lacs
I Don’t understand brits.
So this can't even play SAMPLES??🤦👎
He needs to speak up more could hardly hear what he was saying especially when responding to specific questions.
This thing is aimed at mobile dj's... I don't think it was made with night clubs in mind. More like weddings, birthday parties, and family reunions, etc...
Crossfader starting to wear already . Most of the writing will be gone in a year. Poor quality
Her pronounces .wav as “whav” not “wave” drives me nuts. Lol
Most people pronounce like that
Karizma231 lol false.
Oh 🤦🏾♂️😂👍🏾
honestly pioneer should be fucking ASHAMED of their dated screens with such a shitty user interface in all aspects compared to the denon.
Wtf I can’t understand a word your saying damn
2 years since SC5000 and X1800 came out and noone changed their rider and no club adopted them...Lots of hardware and software problems and that's a FLAGSHIP product. So, why trust this cheaper device ?
Does the unit overheats?
Ty

Does it have a video output or you will need a laptop?
No direct video output on the unit
