Funny you say about Red lining….I used to play tennis with a soundsystem supplier for the Chelmsford V festival. He stayed on site looking after the systems. Sasha didn’t come out of it too well….said he was properly throttling the system telling him it wasn’t loud enough…turns out the fucking council were monitoring the levels…wankers.
For the record he did play Trisco that afternoon!
Along_the_Wire Now you’ve had this a while, how is it to use? Thinking of upgrading from my Traktor S4 for something more plug and play.
FabiParas I love it, but I guess I would say that. My only comparison is the RX2 though - I used to have some Tracktor controllers and even had an A&H Xone 3D, but always used sync and never used CDJs or jog wheels. I love knowing that I’m using kit that’s similar to the industry standard - it feels better and more solid. At the moment, I’m just beatmatching and mixing - I’m not doing anything clever and am not really even looping as I need to get comfortable with everything else first. It’s great being free from the laptop too.
The missus keeps on asking me what for xmas etcera and I never have a clue. Then I said I wouldn’t mind that one and she was like. “I’ll get it for you if you want.”
FabiParas Dan FTW!
tbf, she’s coming off my furlough scheme at the end of Feb. ’bout time she put a little back into the economy.
Has anyone used or bought denon sc5000’s?
Was going to buy xdj 700’s but have started to look at these ,used cdj 1000 mk3’s for years would just like to hear some feedback??? Cheers
I have SC5000s…….if you can get over them “not being Pioneer” they are a far superior product in terms of tech than CDJ 2000s . I has CDJ900s prior to my Denons and never regretted selling them to fund these.
Build quality is slightly less impressive, but unless you are gigging and taking them all over the place I don’t see that as an issue. I had one problem with one deck and Customer Service sent a courier out within 2 days to pick up and fix. Was pretty impressed on that front. No issues since then.
Some don’t like the look and color combinations, but never bothered me. Pioneers are a good option for an "“all in one” home system if you play out on CDJs from time to time. Ive always gone for a dedicated mixer and couldn’t justify the price tag of CDJs vs features based on home use.
Heno SC5000 will be far, far superior over the XDJ-700. It’s not even close. Try and have a go of them first and get to grips with it - it’s not too different from pioneer but the CPU and Screen is much faster/smoother/better.
IndustryStandard yeah much prefer a dedicated mixer and 2 deck set up,
Is the ‘Send’ button for emails Damo?
…can’t remember if I already posted this one, from Berlin, the Resør Darth:
None of this spellcheck or Grammarly nonsense
Anyone ever bought stuff from these seem to be really cheap
