Can I use a 2 terabyte hard drive with this? Also will my Serato DJ crates load? thank you

@@FlatEarthSovereign yes, you can use any size HD that you'd like. I think the Engine prime software does great at converting Serator DJ Crates, you just have to export/import... but IMO, it's wayyyy easier than Rekordbox.

Yes. microphone is now recorded (working with 2.1.0)

Great news! I haven’t tried it for a party yet but might give it a shot now. 🤘🏼

Awesome stuff, bro. You’re right! Nothing close to a toy. People should give this unit a chance if they’re interested.

Wireless lights would be an awesome addition to the mobile setup! I’m glad that the battery function served you well. I would’ve panicked a little bit, haha!

It sure does! Thanks for the advice 🤘🏼

Awesome! Welcome to the Prime Go family, haha! It's a great piece of DJ gear and in 2 years, has served me really well. How are you going to use the prime go?

Thank you! You bring up a great point... daylight mode would be a necessary feature update.

DJ Unprotected I try to use it today and it was so hard to see. I’m happy I was only doing promo shots.

@@ryanryanakalkwilliams9228 That's good to know. I have a Wedding coming up and I'll be DJing in a pavilion... I'll bring my main controller to be safe.

Well said! 😎

It honestly functions better and is primarily designed as a stand-alone player, in my opinion. If you're looking primarily for a controller with a bigger touchscreen (This one is amazingly clear and very responsive btw.) I'm sure there are other products that may better suit you. The higher level Prime gear perhaps you should consider. I totally recommend Denon all the way.

That's awesome! I'm really considering getting the Prime 2 or Prime 4 to transition away from laptop for gigs. Thanks for watching and commenting bro!

Anytime. Reviews are meant to sway people either way. I use the Prime Go for traveling, practicing sets, and streaming. It's not the primary piece of gear. I don't think this device can be compared to the Pio DDJ-400, but Pioneer is definitely going to suit anyone nicely when talking about club comparison gear. I hope the Pio DDJ-400 works well for you!

@@DJUnprotected Thanks for your reply. :) I travel a lot as well and to be honest hate controllers and having my laptop hooked on. That's why I was interested in this Denon, but after the complains with the tiny jog wheel and missing cue channel levels I am kind a lost my interest...

​@@kutasimusic Those complaints are too real... On my DJ-505 I keep vinyl mode on, but when using the Prime Go, I have to turn vinyl off bc I bump the jog wheels so much. The lack of individual channel metering is annoying and as much as I try to match the levels when mixing, I can hear the irregularities during my mix recordings. I don't regret buying the Prime Go, but... it's not my primary piece of gear for several reasons. I've been looking in to the Prime 4 because I like the Engine software and want to get away from DJing with a laptop :D

@@DJUnprotected Probably I wouldn't care that much about the these issues if this Denon was less expensive. The Go literally the price of a Pioneer XDJ-RX1 or XDJ-RR, but not to far from the Denon's Prime 2 and 4 either which is quite 'interesting'. But it's an unique device and don't think anyone does a compact all in one like this. :) The issues we were talking about could have been fixed via a firmware or setting. Have you not tried?

@lsl That is awesome advice. I'll consider getting platinum notes based on your experience. It seems like new DJ controllers don't have volume meters anymore, like the new Reloop ready. So normalizing the library might be the way to go. Thanks for the advice!

Under settings you are able to adjust the sensitivity. I still think it takes some getting used to which is why I recommend this rig for practicing sets or pop-up house parties. Not sure I'd solely rely on the prime go for paid gigs... yet!

Thank you for the comment and encouragement! The Denon Prime series is definitely worth it. I'm constantly impressed with the updates Denon keeps providing us DJ's.

Well, allow me to welcome you to the DJ community! Congrats on joining the DJ team. I think that learning a pioneer setup is very beneficial because lots of clubs, and other DJs are in the pioneer echosystem (CDJs & rekordbox). I think the Denon DJ Prime Go is a great piece of gear for people wanting an extra DJ console that's portable. I wouldn't recommend it as a main system or for a beginner because there are pretty steep learning curves. I'd recommend that you pick up a couple of pioneer CDJs or XDJs and a nice mixer to get your setup going. You could also get the XDJ-XZ, too. No matter what you get, just make sure it's portable for your needs, and that you practice on it all the time. I could DJ on my Prime Go and Roland DJ 505 while blind folded.. that's how much I play on them, and you should do that too. Let me know if you need any other advice. Again, welcome to one of the funnest and most enjoyable communities out there!

@@DJUnprotected Hey man....thanks for your advice. I am definitely going with Pioneer. I will keep you posted on my progress once I get the new gear. Thanks again for quick reply.

@@director2bob Keep me in the loop! Looking forward to hearing about the new gear you get :D

@@director2bob welcome to the DJ community!

You can only see it on the master signal, and we all know that split cue in headphones is never equal! Total bummer they left it out.

Its a fun little rig to jam on and it's a good piece of gear to practice sets on. I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner because you will still need to get started on software and building a library. I'd recommend this piece of equipment to DJs who already have other gear (controllers & laptop setup) and want something extra for traveling, etc. If you're looking to get back in to DJing, I'd recommend getting a cheaper controller and get integrated with software like Serato or Rekordbox... then when you're ready, jump over to the Denon eco-system if you wanna invest more in to the standalone gear. Just my two cents! :)

@@DJUnprotected thank you!

@@WellAlwaysBeFriends You're welcome. Please update me on what you end up buying to get back in the DJ game :D

I am in the same boat. I am a beginner. If this one is too advanced, how about the Mixstream Pro. Another thing to note is they both now have access to Virtual DJ and Soreto.

Soreto.

I got you bro! I'll make a video about it. Total game changer :D

You’re right… it’s a dope system. So the DDJ 400 is a good controller but only works with Rekordbox. I’m mainly a Serato user which is why that very portable controller isn’t in my studio. If you’re dead set on using Rekordbox, then I say use rock with the DDJ 400. But at the same price point and versatility, I like the Roland, Reloop, and Hercules options instead.

​@@DJUnprotected Yeah I really dislike this proprietary business with DJ controllers. Why are we limited to specific software when we spend good money on hardware? Rhetorical question (money!) but there's another reason I have to stick to Pioneer products: where I live service / support centers don't exist for Denon, Hercules, and many others. Anyway thanks for the reply. I'm looking fwd to Pioneer's answer to a standalone Dj controller with battery and internal memory. The ball is in their court

I'll look in to the jogweel sensitivity. I appreciate you providing feedback and I'm glad someone else agrees about the metering. I'd still like to figure out the mic not recording during live sets tho...

DJ Unprotected I believe that it was something that was covered with the last update. Honestly I haven't check because I don't use the mic.

I will look in to this and get back to you.

@@DJUnprotected I found out how... just hold down the Vinyl button and move the jog wheel

@@playmu5ic Thank you for sharing that! I usually set up my beat grid in the software, but it's good to know I can do it on the fly if needed.

Those are some good points. It might be possible that the pandemic negatively affected Denon's ability to manufacture enough Prime Go's. But, now that you mention it, I pre-ordered my Prime GO in February expecting it to be available in March and it wasn't actually shipped to me until June. The system was worth the wait and it is fun to jam on. I'm interested in what you end up doing... whether you upgrade to a new laptop or wait for the Prime Go to be available again. Let me know! :D

DJ Unprotected I’m torn tbh. If I could have immediate gratification or even 3 days I would drop for the Go right now. But damn! Why Denon why... ✌️

@@DJUnprotected I have the mc4000. And I can see the master level if no cue is active. Is it not the same on this? So that when you press the cue it shows the levels on that track.

I've considered getting the Prime 4 to use at gigs instead of bringing my laptop/controller set up. I'm potentially waiting for another release in a year or two now that the DJ industry seems to be shifting to standalone players as the norm.

Thank you for watching! :D

You're right... That would be another great option to have!

@@DJUnprotected for sure !!

I appreciate your opinion on this. I was really frustrated initially without having a VU meter for individual channels. I don't care how well my ears are trained, it's super difficult to match audio levels using split OR stereo headphone cues. This is the main reason why my Prime Go is a practice & travel rig. I use it for small fun get togethers and to practice my sets. I won't go far to say it's garbage tho. Pretty cool system, but also $1K for a practice rig is pretty steep!

Another well stated point!
