I have used the MCX8000 and previously owned a Pioneer DDJ SX. The sound of the 8000 is phatter and nicer.
I need a small form controller that is both professional and robust enough to use especially when I have to bring my own gear or something is wrong with my 8000 (as it’s currently is).
Any quirks or bugs I should be aware off with the 6000 MK2
I’m a primarily a Serato user.
I know I loose performance pads and 4 cue points but I’m happy enough to pair it with my Pioneer SP1 if I need to.
How is the jog wheel they look smaller, are they decent enough to scratch with. Not DMC style scratching but babies and the occasional chirps during a typical open format set.
In terms of robust, you won’t find a better brand. The term “built like a tank” is softened paired with Denon DJ gear.
That robustness does go hand in hand with “heavy” - no hollow plastic construction here. Beware therefore of putting this in a case with lots of other items.
Be aware also that if planning on rack mounting the unit, the rack ears are a separate item.
Mufasa - I have been using the MC6000 MK2 for about a year and a half (own 2). I use Virtual DJ and have had no serious problems. Initial setup is where often things go wrong (most common mistake). Solid unit overall. Definitely like the size as I do mobile events. It is also mapped for Serato - so you should be good. Fine tune the platter settings to get the right sensitivity for scratching. Pic is in an 8 space over 2 space case. Enjoy & Happy Mixing!
