KS4 alternative…
Has anyone considered buying:
2 x denon dnsc 2000 £209 (£418)
1 x numark m6 usb mixer (£149)
1 x TSP 45% off if you really want to scratch (£249) (or just using existing TP software that you prob already own if not?)
total price - £567 or £816 (whic you can prob negotiate a discount on i guess)
or denon mc6000?? £679 (plus software as above £249)
only asking as the KS4 seems really cool but wondering what people think of the alternatives ??
There is no alternative. You must assimilate and join the collective. 
ha ha .. i know .. i am just putting off the inevitable
I preordered a pair of the Denon SC2000’s which I plan to use with my DNS-X120. I believe they’re the same size as the dns1200’s so I should be able to get a flight case to fit it all in fairly easily.
I’m thinking of the exact same thing Kerr, except I’ll be using my existing mixer(Tascam X9) I’m actually considering TSPro & MC6000 as it should let me have the best of both worlds, external mixing when I want to and a compact all in one with just the MC6000. Just waiting to read a review, the only review I’ve found on the SC2000’s is in Swedish or Norwegian.
@djpbe - that’d be cool set up .. guessing the thing would be to use decks c/d as sample decks you;d need the nk ms6 for the 4 dk channel?
@sirreal - when i’ve watched all the youtube stuff on denon (sc1 etc) looks solid so guessing they’ll be on point for everything..
I’ve owned Denon products in the past and they’re always solid. It’s just the little things I wonder about, pitch bend rampup, tactile feel of the button’s… I just have to find a place to play with both the SC2000 & MC6000.
Yeah I really fancy a pair of these with the X1600 mixer, but the price is about £500 more than a KS4 and I’m struggling to justify it really.
can’t vj with the ks4 tho ?
I was thinking about mapping the pitch faders to fade from deck a to deck c, and deck b to deck d. I don’t tend to use them anyway, and it would let me use my 2 channel mixer. I don’t know if it will work, but I only use two decks most of the time. I really just think I need two units cause I will forget what layer I’m on.
I’m also considering this alternative, but with a DX 1100 mixer.. (i already have 2 turntables and 2 cd players i want to use with TSP)
It really depends on how well the SC2000 work with traktor. if it’s as precise as the S4 it might be a better set-up (more flexible, more buttons to map, more transportable)
