REALLY Denon ? SC 6000?

I find the screen on the SC5000 perfect as well… but yeah, on the SC6000 you can get 66% more tracks listed.

The only 2 changes I´m really passionate about is the bpm stuff, and being able to pre-activate a loop before pressing play. Those 2 things is (again, in my opinion) really important to get fixed.

If you look at the x1850 it has the quantize function. This requires you to have your grids placed properly. I’m pretty sure they’ll be working on the standalone grid feature.

Until then the whole prime family will be singing the same tune :joy: with different bpms

You’ll be able to do more with that big screen. Already plans are in the works to have Serato fx controlled from that huge screen when accessorizing for it comes.

I went standalone to get rid of serato / traktor so having extra space for serato info isn’t of use for non-serato. I suppose denon might add an extra line of icons on the screen then.

The waveforms look ridiculously big on the 6000 screen already

As I already made a comment on to @sbangs, they should integrate this view from the Prime Go, on all 2-layer screens (SC5000/ M and SC6000/M)

It would help so much to be able to see 2 moving waveforms, if using the duallayer ability.

A extra press on the View-button or Shift + View…

Or they could do this:

I actually thought or wrongly assumed that its Prime 4 users mostly requesting for that function only for it to be added to the SC5000

I have nothing against it, but i dont use it.

I will rather use a deck to preview where i can actually see the waveform and also place hotcues or count bars. Eg playing a song that im not sure if its intro is 32beats or 64

It’s probably proportionate to the number of Prime model users. Because of price there are probably more prime 4 users than SC5000 users, maybe double as many prime 4s out there than pairs of sc5000s, so if there are twice as many requesss for track preview from prime4 users than track preview requests from SC users then that’s equal .

But we don’t know what the balance is between those user numbers. But I think Prime4 would be more as it’s cheap even though it’s been out less time.

I’m probably a few years older than most people posting on here…

Believe me, when your eyes start to go, you’ll be glad of that bigger screen! :slight_smile:

Or the future firmware updates can include the option to modify the font size and fields like artist, title, album to be displayed scrolling. Yes, you can loose some rows displaying on the screen, but at least one can see what his looking at.

The display for DJs who have vision problems made it bigger. Ohh but you’re never happy ehh …

Glasses help​:wink::grin:

I think the new SC6000 looks great. It definitely looks more professional and at home in a DJ booth. Personally, i really like my SC5000’s but will think about changing once i get a hands on with the new gear. As i posted on another thread, the only concern is that the original Denon gear is losing a lot of value and fast. For the whole Prime eco system to take off long term then i think the SC6000 really needs to find its way in to clubs. To do that they need to get Engine Prime up to speed with Rekordbox. I imagine that now all the hardware is done the focus will be on the software. Hopefully this year will be a big year for Prime firmware and software.

As some others have mentioned, the resale value on Prime probably isn’t being helped by one or two “Reputation Assassins” on here who claim to have found various problems and will even twist discussions about other models or questions back round to their “look how clever I was to find this”. Several people have mentioned how boring and repetitive those one or two people are, as they keep posting, waiting indefinitely for some sort of pat on the head.

I found those posts with in the first few hours of joining the forum, which means that someone visiting the forum to find out whether it’s worth buying a previously owned Prime model could find all those dubious “findings” too and be put off purchasing, which in turn, drives down resale values

The only ‘sad’ part about de 6000’s for me, Is not having enough money to upgrade from my 5000’s right now :smile: :smile: :smile:

From a 5000 to a 6000 is no upgrade at all really. Slightly bigger screen and an internal pocket for a hard drive.

Yes, I both agree and disagree at same time - Bigger jogwheel is a plus and internal SSD too is very nice. I believe the first or maybe the second firmware will be different from 5000 to 6000, as a lot more info can be displayed on the 6000 screen. I bought my 5000’s about a year ago, but realisticaly, 3 years is not bad for new decks to hit the market - surelly the 7000’s @ 2023 will be pretty insane :slight_smile:

I agree Engine Prime is not on par yet. I already suggested Denon to make this an open source project. That way, enthousiasts will make sure this tool develops more rapidly, get all the features needed and mature much more quickly. In open source version, with Denon controlling the project of course, this would kick Pioneer of the throne very rapidly.

Having said that, the players themselves are more than okay. Sure, there are also bugs but ok, they’ll be dealt with in due time I guess.

I prefer the look of the SC5000 to be honest. The buttons in full colors are cool. The new SC6000 looks a but 80’s if you ask me.
