    Sold all my pioneer gear when the prime 4 came out and never looked back. Run it in standalone mode with my 1210’s. I do use Beatport to stream and I also use my ssd that’s installed. Never used as a controller so can’t comment on that. Ace video as always fella keep it up 👍

    I was a longtime Traktor user (like looooong time) and the entire point of buying a set of Engine DJ players was to get stand-alone playback and ditch the laptop. Also, bringing down the features to just some basics was to boost creativity through constraints. When they added Ableton Link, that was just enough additional flexibility to open up a world of sounds using external gear while still keeping the creativity-through-constraints mission. Love my SC5000s

    Good update - I use the Prime4 50% of the time as standalone when I have a pre-planned mix and the other half with Serato when I know I'm going to have many open format requests - and I need to tag tracks and make Playlist on the fly etc.

      Which pioneer do you have? I've been considering whether to get the Mixstream pro or the Pioneer DDJ 400 controller. I've heard some say that Engine/Mixstream isn't for professional djs, though, because it doesn't have a sound effect sampler. What do you think?

    I bought the Prime 4 mainly for the mobility aspect of it which meant a few laptops less to carry. I use engine when out on the road but at home when streaming online I use Virtual DJ Pro as it has the option to VDJ.I feel Engine is solid and I have the unit since 2019 and never once has it crashed. Keep up the awesome reviews .

Now it has its own software thats not routed into a computer with your personal email, google,email,photos etc etc... You can leave your laptop at home where it belongs lol
    The future is bright!!

    I’ve only been using engine os few months since I ditched pioneer , I went for the prime 2 . I use it as standalone . I’m happy with it , I organise everything in the software then sync it to the ssd installed in the prime 2 . There are two features I wish it had . auto gain and the ability to play a track straight away while like in serato if u have a track playing and load the same deck it loads but doesn’t play Until u press play or cue point . So buy then u could have missed ur mixing point . this is where 3 decks come in handy .

    I have the Mixstream Pro and I use it as standalone, but since the update I now use it with Virtual DJ, I’m trying to find how to exactly work engine DJ because I feel like I’m missing something and there are a lot of videos on here but still need to find the right one for me. I can speed or slow down transitions on the Mixstream Pro really well but I can’t do it when I’m connected to virtual DJ for some reason, and I would like to move the folders I use in VDJ to my Mixstream pro, it’s a learning experience at the moment for me since I just got back to the DJ world from using 1200’s back in the 80’s to early 90’s and the technology has really changed things up. Love the video and now onward to fish for more videos!!!! Thank you MJ!!!

    I use a Prime 4 and I alternate between stand-alone , Virtual DJ and Serato DJ. As they continue to update Engine DJ it has become a lot easier to just use the stand-alone. I recently installed a 1 TB solid state so that I can have my library readily available without having to use one of my externals. But there are definitely still times based on the event that I am at where I have to use software because Engine is still not quite there yet

    The main idea of the Prime series is standalone use, for those who wish to move away from DJ software. The Go is the most standalone of the series (onboard battery) so it seems odd to me that people buy it then want to use it as a controller....
    I believe Beatport/source and Denon DJ are working on the offline storage thing behind the scenes, so it will come at some point.

    Got the P4& Go mostly for the standalone features, but I really wish Go would be compatible w VDJ too. Also the on-board analysis could greatly benefit from auto-setting the cue-points and reverse loops, like VDJ does. If someone can bring that to Denon developers would be grand

    Still having issues with corrupted drives, it's really gutting when you've put plenty of work into the loops and cues, and mixing wax still sounds poo on the prime 4. I tried my mates top line Pioneer all in one and I'm kinda jealous now. The libary/playlists are better in the prime series (bpm and key filtering) but the controls and sound are definitely better.

    I have the Prime 4 and Prime Go. I use the prime 4 most of the time unless I'm DJing at small parties etc.. then i use the go, as i can just pick it up and go with a Bose S1 speaker.
    I feel the Prime series effects need an update sharpish to bring it on par with pioneers along with engine library management tweaks.
    Denon are definitely getting there though and I'm sure over time many things that we want will be implemented 😁

  • @francescodamico7903
    @francescodamico7903 2 роки тому

    Hi. Because you ask i answer: i would use an Engine product (still trying to decide) for stand alone use ... hoping that this could be comparable to using VDJ and controller. I don't want to go with a laptop. I don't trust in it.
    So i would go only for stand alone use (except maybe to do some job in the studio).
    But now i have a question: i come from a Stanton scs4DJ, nice and small, but old, stand alone device. I was aiming a Prime 2 and i noticed it's now discontinued. I thought that (because it runs on engine) any update of firmware would have work on it. I thought that new firmware are for the software ... on any machine. But here you say that updates for mixtream does not runs on the Go. ... so you would suggest to go anyway for the Prime 2 o r to go for the Prime Go ?
    Is it a big cons if it is discontinued, buying a used one ?

      Prime 4 seems so nice. Is it like Rekord box prefers USB 32 gig Fat 32? I have a very large library. I do all kinds of different events in different places. I want to be able to have access to it all if need be. Sometimes I don't know what I will be asked to play on the fly. The Cloud isn't always available inside some super thick metal buildings etc.

      @@djstretchtone9851 Internal drive, external drives and usb key / pens must be in FAT32 format, so yes to part 1 of your question. In addition, what the Prime 4 can do is analyse on the fly, so if you plugged a rekordbox prepped usb stick into it, it will analyse the selected file (in seconds) and you will be able to play it straight away, something I have found extememly useful, both when playing at gigs and live streaming. The Prime 4 can pull from several online sources, personally i use Tidal and Beatpork Link (just my preference for the style of music i play) but of course relies on a good connection to the internet, it can be hardwired, so if the venues you frequent have an ethernet port in the booth, just plug it in to the prime's ethernet connection and good to go, if no hardwire connection, I prefer to use my cell phone's mobile hot spot, using wifi on the prime 4 to connect to my phone, so far, in 99% of the places I 've played, I've had a good signal and been able to download from the net in seconds, the one venue I did get a slow connection from, i used 4 decks, so having 3 decks populated from either internal or external drive and deck 4 being the one to download to from the net. But yes, there is going to be some occasion when you wont get signal, so always have a good supply of songs to play on either its internal drive, or bring external drives to use, remember, one of the most important rules about DJing, always have a back up. x

      I decided to try Pioneer out, and I selected the Xdj Rx3. I could not find The Prime 4. I use to use Traktor. I was able to connect to my entire library + laptop with Traktor. It was a bit clunky.. Sometimes I had to use search everything and then drag from folders and files onto the Traktor interface. Traktor has folders like others too. My Rx3 has a keyboard, but I can't seem to get it to highlight and come on for easy search. Sorry to ramble on. One more question if I may. I had 7 Terabytes Traktor and my laptop. Could just pull from a external drive and put them directly into the Prime 4 so could play just like that?. Does Denon want you to put them on the USB first much like Pioneer?
      I apologize for these questions. I'm coming from a vinyl background and haven't done any DJ stuff in way awhile... thank you

      @@djstretchtone9851 Search on the prime 4 is very good and fast too, on all drives connected to it, be it internal SSD, external SSD or usb keys. I used to use Traktor before having the Prime 4 and it reads all my traktor files with no problem, even straight from my old traktor back up HDD, which is now in an external case and connects to the prime 4 via a usb slot.. The engine desktop software can also pull your traktor files and convert them to engine playlists, then just connect the prime 4 to the laptop and sync, it can then put all your old traktor files, engine ready onto an internal drive on the prime 4.. you can prep files in engine, like cue points and loops and it will also sync those to the prime 4 and vice versa, so if you set cues and loops etc on the prime 4, sync them back to engine desktop software and those cues and loops will be saved, so you can export those to external drives / keys for your back ups... also if using streaming services, like tidal or beatport link, key info, cues and loops you set up on streamed files, get saved to a source drive on the prime 4, so if you went to a venue with denon prime gear installed, make sure you use a synced usb key so that if you use streaming services on those other denon hardware, your cues and loops will be applied.
