Hey guys,

thinking of getting back into some DJing and wondering if anyone either has, or with experience on the Prime 4?

seems good value for money, and Denon do make quality products so..any input appreciated.

It will be just for the bedroom mate, plus the stock availability on pioneer seems a lot like the the GPU market..

Hmm..just seen the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 launched and at just £1699 :eek:

very interesting option!

Just watched a YT video and last month Denon released new 2.0 software, seems very promising..

Ordering the Prime 2 tomorrow.

Looks a nice bit of kit. Your thread has made me want to dust off the old headphones so I’ve bought a DDJ-400!

nice one man. What genre types do you play?

Came today! :eek:

Thanks rob, I heard a few comments on quality issues, but I think it’s great, metal plating, tight faders and knobs, yeah, well happy!

no mate, the platters are static. I don’t think many are on controllers, I think for Denon the SC6000M would be the way to go, but at a cost!

Quick setup update.. it’s a mess of cables but hey, it’s not pc cable management here

Said goodbye to the Prime 2, and went to some Pioneer gear.

What was your reason for ditching the Prime?

tbh mate, I was not 100% sold on the effects on the prime, the prime 4 is a bit more expansive on effects, plus I like the “familiarity” of Pioneer dj stuff, if I ever wanted to try for more club based gigs.

but as of right now, no. :cry:

What Pioneer gear you gone for? Been really enjoying messing around with the DDJ-400. Had it out for new year at a house party with a laptop and it went down a storm with everyone having a go!

hey mark,

I went for a djm 450 mixer and a pair of xdj 700’s.

I get my new laptop tomorrow and hope to hook it up ok.

I will upload some pics tomorrow once it’s all setup!

Sending computer back, not worth it for my uses, still managed to get some cable management done though.

will just be sticking to USB / LINK function for now.
