Prime 4 in white looks great. I have the black one and I take it to gigs. I do agree that it’s heavy but I really like hitting the power button and I’m ready to start playing in less than a minute. Great review!!

Mobile DJ since 1989. Been running Prime4 since December 2019. Absolute game changer. Was running Serato on Pioneer DDJ-SX with MacBook. Constant screen freezing issues during gigs & navigation was slow. Especially when using large external drive. Playback was clean, however; screen lag added a lot of anxiety. With the Prime 4, dropped in a 2TB SSD for the archive & bam. The Prime has 1 card & 2 USB slots right on the top. 2 dedicated mic inputs & built in effects. It also runs Sound Switch for automatic lighting control...all without a laptop. This removes the need for extra gear & their backups. Less equipment to update, maintain & worry about. With wireless connectivity & access to online music... absolute no-brainer. Size & weight is a non-issue. Heck, I used to lug a pair of 1200s & crates of vinyl. Not to forget dual 18 EV cabs with amp racks. Once Engine gets stems on an update, no reason to go with anything else.

I’m just starting out on the Prime 4 road, will be watching loads of vids for tips and advice, awesome vid.

Thanks for the review. Love the Prime 4 in white. Its awesome!

Great video. Yes, bro it’s on my wish list. 😁👍

Like @manchah1, I'm an old school DJ from back in the day who is used to carrying around a huge turntable coffin, crates of vinyl, cases of CDs, CD players, amps, and the massive speakers of yesteryear, so I always get a chuckle when I hear DJs complaining about the weight of the Prime 4. I picked up a P4 when they were introduced and absolutely LOVE it! Yeah... It's 4 years old now, but every time Denon update Engine OS (which is often) you feel like you're getting a brand new machine. Make no mistake, this is the most versatile machine you can get. You've got 4 channels to play with, it'll stream music from 5 different services, as well as from your own Dropbox account, it has professional grade inputs and outputs as well as a zone out where you can play a separate playlist into another room from one of the channels on your P4, it has Soundswitch integration so you can run your light show right from the unit, you can beatgrid, you can wirelessly connect with your Engine OS desktop software, and to top all that off, it had onboard sound effects or you can just add your own, it has touch effects which are absolutely insane, plus they just added stems, which are only in beta as we speak and are bound to get better and better (only for the P4+ right now, and they may or may not be introduced to the rest of the Prime lineup... time will tell). If I were still doing mobiles, I'd use one of these in a heartbeat... as a standalone. It makes a lot more sense to me to use one of these with a Prime Go as a backup than it does to use a traditional controller/laptop setup with an additional laptop as a backup. Of course, if you still insist on running Serato or VDJ, it will do that brilliantly too.

Awesome video. Great info. Thank you.

. I just purchased the Prime 4+.This is my first piece of digital gear. My Technics 1200s and all my vinyl were lost in a tragic accident 14 years ago. It's funny, I don't use sync and even the visual bpm counter and beat phase?(the visual indicator of which track is faster or slower) feels like I'm cheating. I'm blown away by this. This is the first piece digital gear that I've ever laid my hands on. I'm in love.

I'm sorry..... did he say "my clients virtual parties"??? Did I miss a killer business opportunity? This guy is awesome. Thank you brother for making my denon purchase even more validated with my wife!

The color is awensome

Thanks for Sharing!

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, Real work practically talk that I like to hear which underscores my appreciation of this product. I take mine to gigs, the weights not an issue for me as an old school dj used to carrying coffins with turntables, cd decks, records and cd boxes etc. I am ocd with my equipment so despite carrying it around, there isn’t a scratch, blemish, finger print (apart from where expected of course). I use mine totally stand alone through the built in hard drive and tidal, which was the main reason I bought it. I do have other controllers: for laptop playing I use my MCX8000 as that’s perfect as a controller for serato and VDJ. For performance gigs with my crew, I do use (dare I say), my XDJ XZ. Horses for courses in my books, which for me is the fun of djaying.

You are not wrong for not taking your P4 outside, to nice looking!! I have the P4, no issues, plus I'm not hard on my gear. Nice setup, continue to make informative videos.

I have the Prime 4 for a year now , and love it

ive had the system (in black) for two years and counting. no problems what so ever. im much like the presenter in the video, mine stays in the studio. i love and recommend this system without worry or hesitation.

I've had my Prime 4 since it first dropped. I gig with it. A bit heavy but I love the standalone experience.

Got the Prime 4 in white too. Good equipment

The new update seems awesome 3.0

Have you ever had it freeze on you? Mine froze yesterday at an event. The screen froze for about 20 minutes when in came back. The hardware controls still worked. Is this a problem with them? I was streaming through tidal and playing off the usb at the same time.

Nice controller, nice video, you seem a nice chap, try to be more to the point, I was almost getting itchy fingers to fast forward at times brother. big love, and happy new years eve to you.

Brother you all absolutely correct don't take it out, leave it in the studio. I have my set up in my garage/ man cave

Great video, man! Thanks for your insights. One piece of advice: Move your light off axis (left or right). With it right in front of you, you look like you're being photo-copied. ;)

Makes a good work out

Whered you pick up that plastic protector for the Prime 4? Thats pretty sick.

With Serato: did you speaker-output of your laptop? you can use the output of the Prime-4 as main output; set speaker prefs in Serato

Hey mate, I’ve got the prime 2. It’s some versatile , just plug in usb and I’m mixing in 1 minute

Pro x makes a case with wheels. There's also a skin to protect your p4.

is it possible add a guitar to this dj prime 4 would be sick to add guitar sounds into the mix?

I wish I did have the prime 4 I’m dying to get one

yo,,, where did u get the cover

Question…..how does the P4 hold up in hot weather for outdoor gigs. I know the pioneer stuff is pretty good with it I’ve heard

I’m either getting sc live 4 or prime 4 plus. Just don’t know what I’ll like more.

I'm still looking for a Prime 4 in White!

I was wondering if Denon copied this from me cause from day one. I always skins my set on a write look up on my page no different.

Can I connect my prime 4 to my Akai MPC one ?

I use virtual DJ sofeware

I love but it is so heavy and bulky that I'm thinking of buying a Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 to be able to move without the weight and to be able to play with Rekordbox USB drives...

Tophits USA music service

Agora?

Serious mobile DJs Who are doing research before buying a Prime 4 can skip this one. It’s heavy And gets dirty easily so it doesn’t leave the house. That’s all you need to know

good info.. leave at home.. lol

What up "Unprotected"... The software that comes on the P4 is any good? Now, can you replace the software for a better software? Reading info about the controller many reviews mention that the software is limited? Any input I would greatly appreciated. Much blessings 🙌 Ty 🎛🎚🎧🎤😎👍
