Absolutely we still need to see pitch as the pitch resolution even with the old increments was not quite true 14bit absolute highest possible, meaning it was still possible to move the fader a tiny amount and it not do anything.
I really hope that Denon are working hard for the pitch resolution for 2019
There’s a movement of clubs towards no-laptops, but there’s a hypocrisy in how it’s currently being executed considering the industry standard is nothing more than a turnkey laptop system for the rich and lazy… with some goofy quirks like jog bend deadzones and godawful pitch resolution. Robin Leach might want to trademark that. “Welcome to Lifestyles of the Rich and Lazy, I’m Robin Leach.” Not sure celebs would let him in the door, though.
Hi i just got myself a pair of SC5000M and an X1800, however one of the SC5000M was dead when i got it, doesn’t start up, no power at all, such a huge ■■■■■■■ disappointment. So I’m waiting for a warranty email to see if i can send it back for a new one.
So i’ve been playing with the single SC5000m and the layers, however i noticed that there is that green bar on top of the screen that is kind of a visual representation of the beats, but there is a white line over it that looks like it should be the 2nd layers visual representation. But it doesnt move at all, its like stuck on the 4th beat. Never seen it move.
Was this visual representation for beatmatching ever introduced to the SC5000? Because it seems like its there, but i can’t get them to work between the layers if you know what i mean? It would be a TON easier beatmatching if both the green line (main layer) that is moving, and the white line (what i suppose is the 2nd layer?) would move as well. Also, is there any way of changing the colour of the bars bar so its easier to make out which is which layer?
Is there some setting that I’ve missed or has this feature not been implemented at all, if so, what is that white 4-part bar at the top that isn’t moving?
Dude, you literally want to “cheat” by visually beatmatching…
It’s 2019 ffs, it’s ok to use sync. And yes, Denon should fix it, if nothing to please users.
I’d rather they use the screen space for more useful things. Perhaps I should use some of those blackout blocks seen in some of the above posts in my request, to re-enforce my point.
My tone is loaded since i spent 4000€ and was faced with some minor disappointments, like the beat matching enforcing sync and one of my players being completely dead so i had to ship it back to the UK and wait for another three weeks to get a replacement. Surely you can understand that it is a worrisome introduction to Denons products?
But the good thing about the SC5000 and X1800 is that its features can be updated, which i hope happens.
A critique of a feature, or a missing feature, is not an attack on your person. However some people seem to take it that way.
We all paid top € or $. When I bought the set they were around the 6000. And they definitely didn’t have the features they have now…
I don’t take anything personal. The only problem I have with new members is that they usually don’t read or search a bit before (shoutingswearing) posting the obvious. Hell, most even buy before researching.
We are here to help to get everyone on the DenonDJ train, even the simplest questions about a white colored ring when the X1800 fader is down and the optional use of faderstart!! But please try to be a bit less “disappointed”.
Personally i found you and mufasa to be more helpful as you didn’t get defensive and posted relevant comments to ease said disappointment and frustration. So thank you for that!
So it’s all okay for you to be frustrated and we all just need to accept that?? Wow…
Believe me. We all had our frustration. My first X1800 had a complete analog shutdown and needed an RMA. One of my first SC’s had a corrupting screen and was a DOA after I bought it. DenonDJ will solve it if a unit is defective. Without any problem I received new gear, no repairs.
Furthermore, I did not get defensive, I just asked where this was coming from:
Bad experience with another forum/product?
Anyway, we helped you and there are numerous requests made and they all get read by DenonDJ staff.
I hope you understand my point of view without black squared text blocks. This is getting off-topic.
You didn’t help me, the other people i mentioned did. Every reply i have gotten from you so far has been off-topic.
Was it the filtered profanity that set you off? In that case i am truly sorry.
But i don’t think this is the correct forum to harp on about your personal grievances related to me expressing disappointment over a missing feature. I certainly don’t, and i won’t respond to you in this thread any further.
