      What happened to the video you guys posted a few days back?!?! Did someone from one of the companies very nicely ask for the video to be pulled?!?!? The issue with the high res Wav, AIFF & FLAC files has happened to me a few times in a club & festival setting!! You could have also switched the memory sticks over to see if pioneer can read the music analysed on engine prime & vice versa. It was a great vid nontheless.

    Denon have made the smart move. They can't push Pioneer out of the clubs directly so they have dropped the price to get into the bedrooms of up and coming DJ's. 10 years down the line those kids will be demanding Denon in the clubs.

I saw a pair of Denon Sc5000Ms on Facebook for £1000 5 years ago... and a Denon X1800 for £500... They were amazing for the price. The tricks you can do on them with ease and the creativity they inspire were great. The downside I guess as always is you stick to what you know if you're from Pioneer and also I guess if you just standard mix then you wouldn't really change. You can pick up a cheap controller in essence for 250 and it wouldn't matter.

Pioneer on the other hand has said do we really need all fancy features on the players and would it work in a club environment may be not so let’s make the cdj more user friendly and also change what is important to to cdj to perform better in a club environment.

      @@johneccles9051 Why do they perform "better" in a club environment? They both play music, they both work pretty reliably. That's what they need to do! That's the bottom standard. So it's just a simple limitation of possiblities with Pioneer. And that's a real shame cause it's way more expensive.
      Let's be honest here: Just everybody thinks that Pioneer is "better for clubs" because they were the only option for the past 10-15 years. But that has changed since 2017 with the launch of the Denon SC5000 - which is still ahead of the CDJ-3000! So where's the point for Pioneer? Just the brand name and the rekordbox environment - that's it.
      And after all I hate these statements like "Denon is for wedding and stuff like that". Which wedding DJ needs for decks, hot cues, hot loops, instant doubles, instant roll effects, slip mode and all that? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A GOOD CLUB DJ NEEDS! These statements are just for the purpose of degrading the Denons. And that's the real shame: That (even in the so called professional dj tech media) the DJ world is full of hardcore Pioneer fanboys. Of course, Pioneer was good at the times, but come on it's fallen behind.

CDJ 3000 must havee launch 4 years ago, but they did now coz of DENON DJ Sc5000 and SC6000 eating their market shares. Thank to DENON DJ big time for given great competition to Pioneer. Now company who will provide great product and justified price tag will survive... Before in the race Pioneer alone was running.

    Right let’s straighten a few things out here ! Firstly I’ve had 2000 nexus for well over 5 years . I switched over to 6000M around 6 weeks ago . I was one of the first people in the country to purchase them and it was a complete blind buy as I couldn’t test them due to Covid
    Yesterday I went to Dj on a radio station to do a guest mix they had the nexus 2000 Mk 2 decks and Djm 900 nexus 2 mixer . When I used the pioneers which acccording to most review sites the new Cdj 3000s feel the same but with a larger screen . The cdjs feel like a cheap plastic toy !!!
    They are not in the same league as the Denons I do not use rekord box or any of the software I use my ear to mix . The main issue with pioneers is the jog wheel when comparing it the Denon the jog wheel is absolutely rubbish on the pioneer it feels non responsive
    And as for this non sense of pioneer being a professional industry club standard player and Denon cannot step up to that , well only because pioneer have monopolised the market then Denon 6000M would be a much better choice for any DJ as it feels better , the deck is solidly built , jog wheel is amazing , pitch control feels solid and responsive . Also the decks can analyse tracks instantly , built in Wi-Fi gives you access to millions of tracks via subscription services
    There is not ONE benefit the pioneer offers over the denon not one and as a man that’s had both I am telling him The 6000M is the best , it’s better value , had more features , better build quality , and is a lot faster and responsive , not to mention you can put a 4TB hard drive in the base of each deck
    And you guys doing these reviews come on stop taking the piss and telling people ‘ oh well there both as good as each other ‘ if your scared of being repremanded by one of the manufacturers for a having a preference , Don’t make the day video instead of playing it safe and mugging of potential consumers

    It's funny to me that all the reviewers keep making this argument that the 3000s are targeted to professionals, and the 6000s are targeted to bedroom/wedding/prosumers. Denon DJ first came onto the standalone scene with their "change your rider" campaign, so really they were (are) marketing to everyone! The problem is that most professionals are like old dogs that don't want to learn new tricks, and unfortunately those that look up to them follow suit. If enough Pro DJs had the balls to experiment with a new platform, Pioneer would be dethroned within a single product cycle (4 years)!! Because no matter how you look at it, the 6000 blows the 3000 away.

      I've owned my pair of NXS2 decks since 2017. I was waiting to see what Pioneer's response to the SC5000 was going to be. While I like a few of the new features on the CDJ(lol)-3000, I don't feel they warrant enough to rush out and upgrade (or replace) my current decks. However, those SC6000s do warrant, at the very least, the purchase of a single deck to test if I can adjust to it's workflow. I'm buying a SC6000 today!! If I like it, I'll buy another one or two. Then my NXS2 decks will go into flight-cases to rent out to all the old dogs too cowardly to learn new tricks, and their foolish subordinates unwilling to open their eyes to a superior product. If all the naysayers are correct, however, I'll just return to the NXS2s. But, the 3000s feature-set DOES NOT warrant rushing out to replace my NXS2s!!!

    DJ Laidback luke has already used Sc-5000 in clubs and festivals, and surely he will use Sc60000 next as covid 19 came. Sorry and please don't miss guide people that sc6000 are for mobile dj's. and it is for the younger genration or upcoming ipad genration that is really. They are for every purpose. DJ's who are used to pioneer CDJ's can easily work with SC6000, there is very little learning curve.. Plus rekordbox library can be easily analyze onboard or on the go on Denon Sc 60000.

    While Pioneer are currently number 1 when it comes to large venues and festivals I can see the playing field evening out over the next couple of years. At the moment very few are buying top end gear and that includes clubs/venues or rental company's. There just no market for it. The only ones that are buying gear are younger DJs. Pioneer couldn't have picked a worse time to launch a new player. Most if not all DJ's are at home playing with little or no prospect of a gig until at least next spring at the earliest. While Pioneer will certainly shift a few units to the bigger DJ's as well as some smaller ones, it will still be relatively noting. Most's DJ's are on a budget at the moment and as such will look at bang for buck. That's where Denon steps in. I spend a lot of time on FB groups, be it Pioneer, Denon or just DJ related groups and what I have noticed over the past few months is the huge increase in the amount of younger people showing off their new Denon gear. And it's not just regular Denon gear it's SC5000 and SC6000. The vast majority of them claim they would not go with Pioneer because for what you get it's just far too expensive when compared to Denon. What you have to consider is that all these young DJ's that are now using Denon players will be the same DJ's that will be playing in our clubs in the not to distant future. Personally I think at this time Denon are right where they need to be. From the looks of it they will be back in the DJ booth sooner than any of us expected. Now that doesn't mean that I want Pioneer to disappear. I think there's room for both of them and there need's to be for our sake. No competition is bad news for all us DJ's.

      The DJ store here in Bali has been selling out of the Denon Prime 4 players. It's now the most popular unit after the DDJ 1000. The XDJ RX2 has basically slowed to a crawl in terms of units sold. For the average consumer, Denon is the way to go

    • @Weaver_Games
      @Weaver_Games 4 роки тому

      Totally agreed. Pioneer is sticking to their old business model of launching the flagship then "trickling down" derivative products to release for the home DJ market. IMO this is a huge mistake because, as you said, no one is looking to buy 3000s right now. They should have instead spearheaded this new line with an awesome home unit that would at least be potentially affordable for most DJs. We're *all* bedroom DJs in 2020 - the club market doesn't exist anymore and I have no idea what the future is going to look like.
      I know tons of DJs but I only know of one working DJ who ever shelled out for a full nexus 2 system at home and he bought it because he was a promoter and got sick of having to constantly rent them out.

      That's pretty much whats happening. Pioneer electronics sold off the last of their shares in the DJ arm early this year, they have nothing to do with DJ any more. Pioneer DJ is run by Alpha Theta who is owned by an investment firm. It's much like the current Nokia phones, they are made by HMD Global and they pay money to have the Nokia branding. Alpha Theta are paying to use the Pioneer DJ brand name but they don't have access to all the Pioneer electronics engineers who used to make the equipment. They also need to price the gear high to help get back some of the initial investment in Pioneer DJ. It's all about the brand name and issuing limited edition colors of older models from here out for Pioneer DJ.

      At least if the hardware or price had been on par with the Denon, it would have been a "swallowable" pill.
      That explains also why they released RekorBox on a paid subscription coz it's easier to hire developers and write a DJ app than good electronic engineers to improve the hardware. And on a paid subscription so cost effective to milk the user base.

They are definetly very solid and no toys. "Top DJs demand a familiar layout" --> Not to mention all Primes accept Rekordbox media, the overal layout+GUI is very similar and undesired featurs (like dual-layer, Wifi and pads) can be deactivated entirely; shouldn't those high-payed guys show a bit more courage & diligence by trying out something new?

      It's less about what a "pro DJ" can do on either of the players, and more about what a "pro DJ" will face when booked to play at a club. In this case, "pro DJ" just meaning a successful DJ who plays regularly at clubs and festivals.
      Now, it's fairly clear that if you want to push your mixing performance abilities to their limits, Denon provides you with more tools to achieve this with their players. But, the issue lies in the fact that you won't have access to this gear when you come to play out at an event unless you bring it yourself, or if you're a big enough DJ to request the setup you want. It's also worth considering that many DJs wouldn't make use of all the performance features of the SC6000s, though them being there isn't a negative of course.
      The difference in layout isn't all that great, and someone who is using their SC6000s at home shouldn't find it too difficult to adjust to the CDJ-3000 when presented with it. However, having to adjust to different equipment, which as it stands they WILL have to do, adds a degree of discomfort which is not something you want when playing to a live audience.
      It's a tough situation and one that will take time if it's going to shift in Denon's favour.

The game changer will be when we get the next announcement from Denon. I believe there may be a jog when controller to act as a second unit for the 2 layer system on the 6000s on the way.

    First off, the guy on the right is clearly bias against the Denon- I’ve been in the sound industry since the days of Bozak and Urei- keep in mind Denon was the first to develop a real dj’s CD player. And how many of us had the Denon dual rack mount?? Pioneer became the “standard” because there was no real comp for years. Now, since Denon has developed a giant killer, everyone is scared to call out Pioneer. I have both the Pioneers and the new Sc6000s as well as a Prime 4 and I tell you they are fantastic! He hangs on the fact they’re not professional enough, but in the next breath says he can’t afford either one.... This is a professional deck all the way. Denon can and will become a force- you can not deny that all of the “bells and whistles” trump the 3000 in droves! I seem to remember when the first cdj1000s came out, dj’s
    hated them. Bottom line though, if you’re moving the crowd and making real money at it, it doesn’t matter what you’re playing on! My ten cents...

      Prime 2, 4 and 6000s have a SATA slot, you can add HDD/SDD up to 1TB (officially, in reality even more, whoever needs that much). You can transfer files via USBLaptop after installing, and all units can access on drive via Link. It's a neat bonus for DJs who want it.

    I’m sorry, but if a “professional festival Dj” can’t learn how to use the Denon player then I just can’t imagine how hard it is learning how to use the new iOS on their iPhones. Come on. It isn’t that difficult to develop muscle memory on multiple devices. Give them some credit! Every “amateur” I have ever known can flex between multiple rigs between warehouses and clubs. Pioneer screwed the pooch. When will the market admit it 100%? I was a “pro” for a time (if that’s what you call it when you are paid to play clubs, parties and events) - and I still LOVE mixing. Occasional gig, mostly for fun. In EITHER scenario the Denon player wins.

    Not forgetting. If you are a mobile DJ, as with the Prime4 as well, you can stick any SATA drive in the spare bay. HDD or SSD. So you could have 4TB of music on-board if you really wanted too. You only have to have the Drive in 1 player. Any other players on the Ethernet Bus can access that music instantly.

    Denon FTW. Problem is there is a pioneer mixer in the middle so thats an unfair bias. Because pioneer is not class compliant, it cannot be classed as an industry standard. Club standard maybe - but never industry standard. Did you know that pioneer put poor quality phono preamps in their mixers for a reason? When the DJM600/CDJ800 big givaways came about (you know, to big clubs and DJs so long as pioneer got promoted) they did a sneaky trick, which was to put a 70Hz boost and 12kHz rolloff on the phono inputs, causing turntables to sound muddy and also cause feedback. A dirty trick with a corporate agenda which almost killed off vinyl until us engineers realised this and fought back. My website with credentials: www.technics-service.co.uk

    I am trying out the SC6000, but I am missing the fact that, on the CDJ, I can press on the platter to get the vinyl brake effect (and can do it partially), whereas the SC6000 stops playback completely, and instantly, regardless of the dialed in setting. Can someone tell me, on the SC6000M, how hard is it to stop the playback vs. just slow it down a bit temporarily? Like, will just a bit of pressure stop the vinyl from spinning instantly, or does it have enough grip (and power in the motor, which I assume it has) where you can press it pretty firmly and it will just slow down but not stop (let's say just a 5-20% slowdown)? Really appreciate it. I don't want to get a SC6000M and have one of each, although maybe that's the way I have to go, then trade the one I don't like back in.
    It's really too bad there's no way to have the screen AND the motorized platter, that would be awesome!

Denon had everything I wanted when I was first looking into my first buy past turntables. Still with Denon on the SC3900's and DNX1600 and DNX1700 after I fix the power. Out of warranty and not sending it out. I know how to fix all my gear. Cue button on one SC3900 stopped working so I replaced all of them with one size taller button and the response is so much better.

Both are the finest players in the world who are looking for their equals! Difinitive! Both are on top ... BUT ..... When it comes to the price-performance ratio, then it speaks CLEARLY in favor of Denon SC6000M / SC6000 Why ?! In such uncertain times as this corona time when most clubs are closed and the DJ's are forced to perform in their own living room via stream and without making a lot of money, you think three times for what you invest your money in. That's it! OK. My conclusion: If Denon continues like this, the future belongs to her!
