I’m looking for a 3rd deck for my setup and considered an XDJ-700, but they are over £600 now, ridiculous… Also considered an SC5000 but I’m limited on space so not sure I’ll get it in, the little XDJ should fit on a laptop stand easily enough.

I wanna sell my current kit and buy the SC6000Ms…no point in having two different manufacturers, both having static jogs.

Too big for my setup haha… I need to fit in a gap above my left deck so needs to be smaller.
It should not matter if you are someone who spends a lot of the preparing or just like to play on the fly, the software should support either style fully.
I don’t have all day to prepare playlists and set cue points and stuff and I wouldn’t want to anyways.
I just want to rock up to the decks and play without encountering tons of bugs and missing features that make it impossible to get a good flow on.
It’s been two months since v2.1 was released and that release did jack sh*t for media player owners. The next release better start fixing what’s broken.

Do you want to exaggerate any more?
“Impossible to get a good flow on”
Give it a rest.
Obviously you don’t use the software to its full extent. I do and the issues I’m talking about have been reported by dozens of members since the release of 2.0. They are known to Denon yet they refuse to fix them with any urgency.
2x SC6000’s cost $5000 in Australia. I expect to be able to manage playlists and search for tracks without the software constantly forgetting the previous state. It’s not rocket science, and it’s stuff Traktor could manage fine since forever.
I would use Traktor of course, but nope we aren’t allowed that either. So, I’ll say what I like, when I like, until these bugs are resolved.
None of that has any direct impact on your ability to DJ and ‘get a good flow on’, You’re massively exaggerating, end of story.
You can easily use the Prime series to search for any tracks you want, set cue points on the fly. Your original comment doesn’t even state what issues you are supposedly having, just some nonsense about it being ‘impossible’
Please tell me what you are doing that is ‘using the software to its full extent’ that I aren’t doing? what do I know, ive only been at it for 22 years.

And the topic went meandering off topic from the familiar sounding DJ Arctic’s title question of “are there any denon staff around?” And post question opener of “do they care about this platform?” almost instantly
Those questions perhaps can be answered in order by :
• A lot of the time, yes. But usually not for answering impossible “when?” Or “why” something can or can’t be done.
• Yes again. Of course they do.

I would have to say of course they’re around. They grabbed some popcorn and enjoyed the show we put on here

I don’t think they want these forums to just be complaints and support requests. If they want a healthy online forum they should put more focus on general DJ discussion and enabling users to showcase their output. They could run competitions and all kinds of stuff, but mostly they are just harvesting data from us right now E.g. feature requests.

Actually constructive criticism is the BEST source of data collection. No one learns from constantly being told they are doing everything right.
If you are thinking of going with a Formula Sound, perhaps you should wait a bit longer…
I agree, but I doubt they have the technology to extract this and make it useful. We are mostly just screaming into the void here.
I logged all my issues the correct and constructive way but unclear where it all ends up. 
I think there is a valid argument to make around providing a public roadmap for bug fixes and minor improvements. There’s nothing commercially sensitive about that stuff, and it would please everyone.

I 100% agree. How more obvious could we ask for ANY interaction from Denon then directly ask if they are here.
Not one single comment. Just Nothing. Does anyone know the hierarchy of denon, they have around 20 or 30 member in this forum - i am quite keen on DM some of them to ask whats up with their lack of interest and absent of communicating skills. 
Listen, Ya’ll, NO COMPANY would ever come out and admit that what they are doing wrong. As much as we would ALL appreciate the honesty, and the humility if they did, not a single representative from Denon is going to chime in on this thread and state that “they’ve seen the error in their ways, and are here to remedy it”, haha! No, instead, we have to assume that THEY ARE READING this, and are internally discussing it.
Again, constructive criticism is our best course of action. We ALL want to see these decks live up to their potential, and perform better than the competition. I think Denon know this. They will respond accordingly when they are ready. After 2.1.2 it’s been radio silence…I think that is a GREAT THING!!!
I imagine our EXPECTATIONS are in the works…
That’s why I have been critical, but respectful, of Denon and their vision. I think peeps (potential buyers) deserve to know the state of things as they truly are from a person who is not a sycophant, but is a fan. Prime decks have the potential to be the future by which all other hardware/software (standalone) manufacturers model themselves after. But, some serious self-reflection NEEDS to occur on Denon’s part to make that a reality.
Is there room to improve? Sure! But, have you participated in any of the competition’s Forums? At least Denon pop in from time to time and give you an inkling of what they’re thinking. Pulse over at Pioneer forum, while certainly helpful, still tows a Corporate line. He’s great in DM though. Super helpful. In fact, that leads me to a similar conversation…Denon’s DM/Email support. It NEEDS improvement!! I recently had some questions/queries about my recently purchased CDJ3000s…I called in to tech support, within 6 hours I was contacted by Pulse, directly, to answer my questions. He and I had a several days long conversation about my new decks, and I left that conversation fully confident that my minor grievances were known, and would be addressed in a forthcoming Firmware update. That’s how you handle your customers. Something that Denon could learn from.
That said, I have found Denon’s hardware support to be exemplary!! My needs have been addressed with the utmost professionalism and expediency! So, it’s not like Denon are complete newbs at remedying their customer’s woes.
Im reading this with intetest and popcorn.
Why do we need all these bells and whistles. Back in the day we didn’t have them. No sync button just a good sense of rythmn and a good well tuned ear. We could only play vinyl that we had to lug about which was backbreaking up three flights of stairs. We didn’t have funky 2.8 billion colour waveforms. Just a bunch of sticky dots. You history was maybe a piece of paper that your runner wrote on with a pen. Your prepare list was a “cocked” sleeve. Maybe tech is good but we CANT use the tech unless we can do it the “old fashioned” way. Like that when the tech fails YOU don’t, you just carry on in the manner we used to. Denon pioneer numark… it’s what you put into it that counts. Put sh1t in get amplified sh1t out.

I saw that, I think I would still prefer the ff6.2. The problem is I can only afford the 4.2 lol
