Engine DJ 2.2 IS HERE | Active Loops, New Mixstream Pro features & more

Still no stacked waveform from a second media player for the SCX000 line? I’m starting to think this is never going to be implemented which is really unfortunate. The competition has it, and Denon’s own lower end all-in-ones have it. I can only assume at this point Denon somehow backed themselves in a hardware corner with their networking solution and it’s actually not possible or prohibitively difficult. At some point I may have to sell my X1800/SC5000’s and look elsewhere because it’s a feature I make a lot of use of when playing on other gear.

Have to ask… when you bought the units, was it then promised that they could this? Was it written on the box?

This is already a feature-request, but when Pio launched their CDJ3000, Denon probably already had some other things going on in development, and I bet that they dont want to remove some of the existing features, “just” to add another quickly.

No doubt, I would love that feature on my SC6000s, but you cant compare that they have it on their all-in-ones, with the SC6000s… The other units are All-In-One, therefor all the info are on the same screen. But it takes time to develop new stuff, just look at Pioneer… The original CDJ-2000 came in 2009, then the NX2 came in 2016…thats 7 years for…and then CDJ-3000 in 2021, thats 5 years.

So have patience… I dont know if it will come to the SC6000s, but I´m sure that it will come some day for some Denon single-player.

Until then, do as you did before the CDJ-3000 and the All-in-ones :slight_smile:

I join in the gratitude. I waited for six months until the problem was solved. Only now I will evaluate the firmware 2+. Thanks a lot to the Denon dj team. Already the second serious problem is being eliminated over time. I raise a glass to you!)

This “Was it on the box? Did they tell you they would have it?” refrain I hear every time this feature is brought up is tired. The whole promise of buying firmware enabled hardware is that what is in the box on day 1 will be expanded and improved. There are a bunch of features we have today that “weren’t on the box” but people expect them to be there now.

Obviously I can and do mix without it, but that doesn’t stop it from being disappointing that my flagship Denon hardware is not the hardware I like to play on for fun at home because it’s lacking a feature I enjoy using and has become basically an industry standard on high end players and all-in-ones at this point. For now it’s not deal breaking, I still love my Denon hardware…but if it comes around to next year when I’m looking at an upgrade and it’s still not there I will likely look elsewhere.

Like I said, I love the feature too, and would love it on my SC6000, BUT today it does way more than What was written on the box 1.5 year ago or so when I got it.

Hopefully the feature will come one day :slightly_smiling_face:

Agreed, hopefully soon. In the mean time I have an all-in-one I can mix on for funsies when I don’t care much about the mixer output quality or having some of the more advanced SC5000/X1800 features.

Literally the only player in the world that has it is the cdj3000, it is not industry standard lol. All in ones don’t count because there is only one screen for all layers to begin with.

I updated both SC5000m’s to the latest firmware 2.2 and now I can’t connect to Wifi. Ive tried my home wifi even my phones Hotspot and get the error "Can’t connect to Wifi or Lost connection to Wifi. Before updating everything worked fine. Did something happen in the new firmware that we aren’t aware of ? Also I looked in the settings and notice that SC5000M icon was missing as well. Sounds like this firmware wasn’t tested before the release date. So I’m going back to 2.1.2 until this gets resolved. “STOP PUTTING OUT THINGS BEFORE TESTING”. This is thousands of dollars we spend on these machines and to have a glitch like this is unacceptable !!!

BTW I installed firmware 1.6.2 worked fine Wifi no glitches and then updated 2.2 again. Same issue “NO WIFI”

Not to anyone else. Your the only person to mention “no WiFi” and trying to attribute it to the update.

Did you update everything over a usb cable ? Have you left the usb cable plugged in? Some computers put out wierd stuff down the usb cable

Thats untrue. I did not experience any WiFi issues. I use the 5000m almost exclusively with Tidal.

I haven’t downloaded the public release yet. I will let you know if it affects WiFi in anyway when I do so. Who knows strange things do happen :face_with_monocle:

Give this a try from another thread:

The above user in the linked thread could have used the same update method so hopefully that’s a solution.

thanks i disable it in my pc at start up

Just as you said you use Tidal mufasa. Did you lose all your track info with the update? I couldn’t stand losing it all again as with previous updates

No I did not.

My 5 year olds Tidal playlist still has all her crazy hot cues
