    Honestly, I think this is meant to bring people to a club standard layout, in this case taken from the SC6000s + X1850,and I think that’s great. If you buy and use this for a while, you can easily switch up to the professional stuff, even the classic CDJ/DJM. That’s also exactly what kept me from buying the Prime4 yet (which ist really hard to find these days btw), it was too much of a controller layout for me. The SC Live 4 will certainly sit under the Christmas tree as a gif to myself :)

      Do you know if I can connect 1 or 2 vinyl turntables to the Denon sc live 4? And would you say the built in speakers are good enough for bedroom mixing. I can’t actually play loud nusic so this all in 1 controller would possibly be perfect. No need for any other equipment. Just Denon sc live 4 mix with built in speakers and buy better speakers if and when I can play louder.

    I've had this thing for a bit now. I hate the small screen and the way you make playlists. Mostly because I don't think I fully understand it correctly. I also don't like the way the pads react or the smoothness of the jogwheels, These are too smooth, but Aside from that, I love everything about this device and it's my "daily driver".

    Hello Phil!
    I am djing with Denon MC 4000, in a restaurant that makes latin dancing parties 2 times a week with LIVE singers..
    I am putting their instrumentals on Serato and they sing above the music.
    The style of the party is like no crazy mixes, no effects, no many fancy things.
    The singers are just singing and the dancers are just dancing with the people.
    The above is my main DJing events and occasionally I play in other kind of parties if someone needs me.
    This is not my regular job but I like delivering nice moments to people that hears me.
    My question is :
    I am looking for an upgrade and I wonder if this equipment that costs 1300 EUR, worth to buy for a use in a kind of party like the above.
    My dilemma is if shall I look into something cheaper or keep playing with my laptop and DENON MC 4000?
    Many thanks for you reply and keep up the good work in your videos.
    DJ Josel

    Hey Phil I'm a complete novice and never been near a deck in my life. I've always wanted to learn to dj and at 56 and now retired I find that I have the time to really focus on getting to grips with the basics and hopefully progress as I go.
    I've been watching all your videos and alot of others and I'm torn between getting the Denon SC Live 4 and the Numark Mixstream Pro Go.
    What one do you think would suit a total beginner best?
    Or any other controller that you think maybe better to start out with.
    Price is not important.
    Thank you in advance.

      Between these two, decide if you want two or four channels (decks) which will make your choice for you. Either has more than you could ever need as a beginner! That said, if you don't mind DJing with a laptop, a DDJ-FLX4 is the beginner controller we usually recommend.

      I'd like to be able to learn via standalone rather than a laptop as not sure mine is up to the job. I also don't own a decent pair of speakers, hence why I was leaning towards the Live 4 or the Pro Go. I like that they are both standalone with Built in speakers.
      I think the pro go with it's batteries and being more portable would be my best option. Ideally I'd of liked 4 channels, but 2 would be enough for a beginner I think.

    I've had the SC4 only two days but work, girlfriend has restricted my time using it. However, in the time I have played with it, I think the value is great for what you get. I have no aspirations to be a gigging DJ so suits my use perfectly. My VCI-380 is now 10 years old, still works and I will keep it 'cos it is solid and a 'classic'. The SC4 is for a certain kind of person and that is me 😁 Just wish it had Akai type pads but I will get used to the clcik pads. Speakerwise, they are plenty loud enough and listenable. one thing not mentioned; if you analyse tracks on your computer you can access them over wifi.If doing a gig just copy them onto a USB or SD card and you're ready to go.

Nothing wrong with that (although you're right, that doesn't mean all DJ gear now HAS to be the same).

And pro go IS full portable but maybe IS a toy.

    1) ddj -1000 (when and if it will be available within 2-3 months)
    2) Denon sc live 4
    3) on Native's new flagship controller for traktor if released within 2-3 months.
    4) I'm also thinking about the Denon prime 4, I've always liked it but it's too expensive for me.
    and I would very much like your opinion on a few questions:
    1) here in Greece the prime 4 costs €2,500, the dj sc live 4 €1,600 so the money difference is HUGE! 900 € how expensive is the prime. is this difference worth it? since I'm a hobbyist.
    2) I really think the sc live 4 is my first choice, but I'm worried about the build quality, how do you feel?
    3) you didn't mention at all about the sound card of live 4, how does it sound, is the sound quality and loud on the master and on the headphones?
    4) ddj-1000 and sc live 4 have exactly the same price here in Greece, I believe that live 4 is more value for money and that you buy more things for the same price, what is your opinion? and which of the two do you think has a better sound card since you have worked with both.

I'm wondering if this would be the logical choice when it comes to a replacement for it?
