Scixors Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hey dude's, what's good? So I've been looking around the interwebs for a new controller to use with Serato. I've been using one of these bad boys (Pioneer DDJ SB) but unfortunately mines seen better days.Throughout my browsing I've come across a brand of controllers/CDJ that I haven't heard of before, Denon. I want to switch to a controller with a four channel mixer (Bit too broke for CDJ's rn) and I've been eyeing off this sweet looking rig for a few weeks now (Denon MC7000) I wanted to see if any of you guys have had any experience with Denon, good or bad, or just any general thoughts on quality controllers?

Scottie Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It looks like its in the same price range as the DDJ SX2 or the DDJ RX, which would give you access to rekordbox DJ as well as serato, but the denon has the dual card thing going on which is useful if you're playing with other people regularly. See if you can get into a storeDJ near you or something and have a play with either, they're both super nice bits of kit so you'd likely be happy with either one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 i've used denon cd players and mixers in the past but nothing of recent. if they're built like their old stuff they'd be pretty good. i always wanted to see denon stuff in clubs but it's not to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scixors Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I do tend to play with a mate of mine fairly often, so the dual port on the Denons seems like a feature i'll be using quite a frequently, I'll have a look around for a Store DJ but I'm pretty sure the closest one is in Sydney, Thanks for your input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Any JB hifi's round you? I think they have most of pioneer's controller lineup but I'm not sure about denon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 i haven't seen denon gear at a jb hifi but worthwhile heading in for the pioneer stuff anyway. not sure if they're going to be hugely helpful in there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scixors Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm actually heading up to Melbourne this weekend with a bunch of the fellas for a good ol' time. I might see if i can con one of them into coming to Store DJ with me and getting a little turn on the range they have, the JB's near me only really have the controller i already use, along with the really little ones that you use with Virtual DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're inner suburbs, Store DJ is where it's at.. if you're in the outer suburbs, DJ city may be easier to get too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scixors Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 We are staying in Southbank at the Crown Tower, i'm thinking that's gonna be inner suburbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 StoreDJ is in like Richmond. Could tram it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Store DJ is where it's at for you! Jump on the 109 tram, it goes right past crown and will take you all the way to store DJ in about 25 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scixors Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 I appreciate all your advice dudes, but I'll be honest, that trip ended up being the loosest bender of my life and I never actually made it down to store DJ. I'm just gonna say fuck it and go with the Denon controller for something a little bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
