Hi,
after 2 weeks with my new Prime 4 I still struggle to enjoy mixing because the EQ section doesnt quite work as I expect it to work. When using a DJM-900 set in isolator mode, turning off the middle knob completely usually filtered the vocals completely.
This doesnt happen with my Prime 4 so far, even after changing the mode to isolator and altering the frequencies. Changing the frequencies just lowered the sound of the vocals (and the highs) but never really changed anything regarding my problem. I want to be able to just use the highs of a Song. And I know that it’s not always possible to filter vocals, etc completely but the DJM-900 does it a lot better but I dont want to send back my beloved Prime 4.
I even tried setting everything to maximum or minimum but even with this settings and just the low EQ knob turned up I can still sense the vocals.
Does analyzing the songs in the Prime Software change anything? I currently stopped using it because it deletes most of the covers but that shouldnt keep me from using it if it would improve the performance of the EQ Section.
Has anybody had the same problem and knows a solution?
One of the advantages of Denon is that you can laborate with the frequencies, as I can see that is not possible with Pioneer gear. They are fixed and this is why I don’t go for Pioneer stuff, the sound is very artifical. Flat and restrained, everything sounds “the same”. Yeah, easy to mix but what about the difference. Good luck with experience the P4. Right treated it’s a fantastic machine but I have some advice, Do backup your Engine library regurlary, it will save you a lot of work when you get that message “Database is corrupt …” Do this backup everytime you have your computer connected for maintenance of your library. Thank me later because I know at one point you will screw up. Cheers and have a Happy New Denon DJ 2021 year!
