Is the prime 4 shipping has been pushed up for may?

Your order just went up ā‚¬2 because of the swear jar :moneybag:

I just bought a new house. We were told last spring that itā€™d be ready to move into last September but it was only finished 2 weeks ago. And that was the cost of about 400 x Prime 4s :moneybag: :moneybag: :moneybag:

Do you think it maybe that they are adding features they didnā€™t or were planning to have such as switching the waveforms? Just a guess why it maybe taking longer.

I think youā€™re right!

And some of the things they add may need to be tested to work not only on the Prime 4, but also on all Prime 4ā€™s siblings, like the 5000m and SC5000 and Engine Prime.

We all(?) also know that Engine Prime is likely to be on the receiving end of some major love and brainstorming coding thanks to the New Zealand software offices and staff being all in one place as a single positive collective.

Im going to take a guess and say nothing is going to change on the firmware as i dont belive they are changing anything. The store i pre ordered mine for i was there at the weekend and speaking to the owner they are behind because they aint made enough units because they didnt expect as many sales as they have got.

Being advanced as it as and the only 1 on the market and not thinking it would be big after all the hype they gave it is amusing.

Hope it is a firmware update to switch the waveform though :smiley:

And which one of you is schizophrenic ? :woozy_face:

Itā€™s ok to make bad guesses. Theyā€™re free.

Do you realy think Denon is making changes at this moment??? My guess is they have a bunch of prime4 hardware wich is produced with crappy unstable firmware. And now theyā€™re fixing the ā– ā– ā– ā–  out of it to get it reasonably stable at launch date (whenever that may be). And after launch they make a bunch of fixed wich can be updated by the users.

@denon: when iā€™m right please send me a p4. I desserve it for being psychic :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

my guess is the units are ready but each one needs to have the firmware loaded onto it, which they are doing.

What it sounds like to me is that Denon continues to over-promise and under-deliver when it comes to product announcements and releases. MCX8000 users are still waiting for promised features (i.e. Stagelinq) to work 3 YEARS after itā€™s launch and weā€™re still waiting for fixes to Engine Prime (improved BPM analyzation, etc.).

I own equipment from some of the other players in the DJ/sound industry and havenā€™t had or seen a fraction of the frustrations that Iā€™ve witnessed in the Denon Forums.

I really do wish this was different as I like Denonā€™s push for innovation. I think Denon is blowing Pioneer away when it comes to features but is failing miserably when it comes to the software/firmware side of making everything work as promised.

Hi,

Itā€™s funny, Denon had just deleted , on youtube, one of their advertising video about the prime 4 above the Alps . Strangeā€¦

Yes, that video was so ridiculousā€¦ A fake dj on a fake party, in a amazing place.

Thatā€™s probably why denon have opened up their DJ software specialist offices in New Zealand.

Great hardware, coupled with great software is going to make Prime unstoppable and unbeatable

My SC5000ā€™s and X1800 work just fine. Do you have support tickets in or RMAā€™s being processed?

This is a problem with your setup otherwise we would all be complaining that our EP doesnā€™t load. I will look for your thread and see if I can help you in any way.

Engine Prime loads fine.

EDIT (adding more):

Saw your post and it is definitely isolated to your computer. Iā€™ve noticed from other posts of yours, you are quick to come to an inaccurate conclusion. Again, Engine Prime installs and works and this is a problem with your windows computer IMO. I am sure someone will try help you on that thread soon.

I think your opinion is the valid one, for sure!

You can try visit your thread again: https://community.enginedj.com/t/engine-prime-1-2-2-wont-install-and-has-removed-my-current-version/12305/15

He/She actually abandoned the thread, not the other way around.

I brought it back to life as i was also having issues but as he as stated and i felt the same ppl on these forums just think oh mine works fine its your computer instead of trying to give some helpful feed back.

@Canaris eventually came to the rescue for me and gave out some info that i tried and it finally worked but i did originally start a new thread on it where i got 50 views but 0 answers. I know a few ppl that use Denon products and Prime software and all of them say the software is lacking and as issues but cant be bothered to report because it works with Serato so they just use that instead making it harder for ppl that do have issues cos no one is reporting much.
