Welcome to the club. I sold my Denon Prime 2 last year and went back to Serato. The music prepping for the Denon Prime was time consuming and songs didn't always transfer.

You buy one piece of dj equipment and it always leads to having to buy 10 other things lol

I have a Prime 2 and Prime Go, but I use both with Virtual DJ. Stems and the workflow of VDJ especially with songs from streaming services makes it hard for me to use Engine outside of the house. I’ll probably hold on to the Go, but I think I’ll be looking for a replacement for the 2 within the next couple of years. Been eyeing the Rev 7.

I use a SC5000 and stems are on the screen with virtual dj. I also sometimes don't bother looking at the laptop because all the info is available on the screen. Sometimes the laptop is set near my feet. But I guess a controller is good for ...well not much in the tech world

Dude i had to pause after the bananas and adult diapers LOL... hilarious! Ok, so those Rev5 jog wheels are just too small. IDK, I bought 2 LC6000s and man these things are sweet. Compatible with Serato too. Go Denon! Boo-Yah!!

FYI, I use the Prime 2 and other controllers and I have the ability to fully do STEMs with VDJ. I use a Korg Nanopad 2 with mapped buttons in VDJ. It takes up one USB port but I don't have to spend the $1200 to get dedicated buttons. However, the BPM transition button really has my attn at the moment.

Denon replaced the Prime 2 with the SC Live 4. I bought one the first day it came out and have LOVED it ever since. I don't even see a reason to get the Prime 4+ and using Serato gives me STEMS functions on the performance pads. Why not go with this over the REV5??

Denon says “hold my beer” #SC7000 with Ai support for Subo/Udio streaming.

AARON!! Dig the video, sir.

I sold my prime 4 for a FLX10. I was disappointed and shocked with the build quality. It was very plastic and toy feeling. I loved the size of the platters but that was it. I rarely use stems but I loved having everything at my finger tips with my laptop running the show. I am selling my FLX10 and bought the Prime 4+. I will try to not need my laptop but will use it as a Serato Controller if I have to. Love your videos always fun and informative

I completely agree with the way of loading tracks. Lately I’ve had several requests for songs I couldn’t find in my library or on tidal. Only option was amazon download, transfer to thumb load in prime 4 etc. prime 4+ offers almost nothing. Hard to keep chugging with engine after stems.

I knew you would eventually come back. There are just too many advantages!

laptop all the way, purely for what you say, being able to plug in tracks on the fly. couple of months ago, i had a gig, before it was a dance act. They told me, they would do there own stuff, i needed not worry about them. I come up to the gig, i plug my gear in. I get an usb stick: here are our songs, play them in that order...So far for the not worrying bout them and they fixing there own stuff. It was a good thing i had my ddj-1000 and mac with me, cause that saved me. 2 days before they called me that the cdj's weren't going to be there. So i brought my own stuff, blessing in disguise!

I’m surprised it took you this long! Wondering why didn’t you jump on the REV7, sweetwater had a great deal going!

You know that you can directly access engine running on your laptop as a source over wireless, so your entire library on your laptop can be directly accessed. Although I streamlined even more and went iPad lol

I don't agree, You can connect to your laptop wirelessly to your Prime gear and get any song from your laptop, I do it all the time When I do not have what I need in my Prime 4 and Prime Go that is really impossible with all the USB slots that they have, I have made multiple flash drive with a huge library of music with different styles and genre, and I can do this with our having a laptop blocking my view from the dance floor. Actually, my team is in charge of the laptop and generates a request playlist while I DJ so don't get bothered in the middle of a mix, It just shows up on my request playlist when I switch to it from my screen, all they say, you have a request, also this way we keep drunks away the equipment and prevent people from getting hurt when we are on a stage and people don't fall down. and keep my helpers busy not just standing there doing nothing.

Guitar center told me they might start delivering in the beginning of 2024

Love my REV7

I just grabbed a new MBP M1 Pro. 16. Looking forward to figuring out which controller, I’m going to run next year. I am leaning towards the Prime plus or the Rane 4. However, I do prefer 2 channel controllers. So, I have some renting and searching to do.

Bro u and I thinking just a like … I’m waiting on mine to 😩

You reached out to Danny Mac’s? 😕 🤯 who where when how? LOL I’m Danny Mac 😂 FYI great video 👍

Hi got mine last week and love it. Had ddj 800 before and it was a good controller but the rev 5 is so much more fun to use. Don’t think anybody mentioned this but as for build quality it’s ok and the plate over the pads and fader section is metal 👍👍

Suck it up and buy the Rane Four. Stop obsession with speakers and you got it covered. Built better, internal effects, IEC power, better layout.

Yeah totally pioneer , I bought the prime go , when first released and it spent more time in repair at Denon than I actually owned and used it , this was my first choice and was new to owning this unit, so glad got money back and purchased a rx2 , no issues whatsoever and like using a rolls Royce compared to the prime go 😊

What you think about build quality on REV 5? On paper it looks like great controller for mobile DJ use, but I dont have chance to mess with it in shop. P.s. Do you know where are dedicated beatjump controls?

The Rev 5 is $1099 and you need a $1200 laptop to run it and you think you're winning?

Get a rane four

You won't be disappointed, rekordbox is not that much different from serato. I Love Denon , but there is a reason why Pioneer is the leading brand when it comes to clubs, events and dj's.

Usb djing as primary not the best choice for mobil wedding dj personal opinion

Serato stems are hit and miss. 50% of stems sound ok at best

A Lot to do….😂😂😂

Rekordbox stems are terrible!!! Prime4+ is gonna have stems soon
