Denon DN-SC2000 initial thoughts

**djpbe** · 12-15-2010, 12:08 AM

I've got a pair of the SC-2000's and the DN-X120. I use an Audio2DJ for an interface. I really like the setup so far. The only drawback to it is you only get 2 decks. I don't like using the different layers, so I got two units.

Thanks for the great feedback !
Actually we did ask many DJs for their feedback and the SC2000 was the result of it.

i don't have any problems with it, i'm just echoing the the feelings of some of the users with "fat finger syndrome".

As i said previously, i gigged with them live last week, and loved them. They did everything i asked from them, and even riased my game a little, and after 25 years in the game (yes i am old!)

... i found that very satisfying.

So much so i feel confident enough to buy another "all-in-one" system in the new year, namely the MC-6000.

I'll PM you with a few questions about it though.

The Denon X120 is a good stable 2 channel mixer, so the minimum kit you would need is.

1 x SC2000 (this swaps channels with one button press, the LEDS change colour so you don't get confused where you are)

1 x audio interface, i'd go for the Audio 4DJ and use the separate outputs direct to the mixer, then you have the denon controlling the sound output and PFL. (you also get to use Timecode if you have Scratch Duo/ Scratch Pro and turntables).

Once i buy the MC-6000 i'll probably sell my Audio 4DJ, and I think you will see a few Audio4's coming onto the market second hand soon, with people upgrading to the NI S4.

If you haven't already got Traktor Duo / Pro, take advantage of the offers now before NI put the price up again.

Well i was going to give you a link for the offers, but it looks like the NI store has nothing left! It was a brilliant offer, i would have suggested the Scratch Duo with Audio 4 bundle, which was cheaper than buying the Audio 4 on it's own ... perhaps a google search will help you find a store that still has stock.

Whatever you choose, have fun with it, get used to creating mappings for yourself, and remember one thing ... it's the music thats important, not the kit you play it on ...
