• Well I just loaded up images of both of them to stare at, and the control layouts really aren’t all that different – so nothing to overwhelm you more so on one than the other.

  That takes the debate to hardware: I’ve only quickly touched an SB (1 not 2) and while it was solid, it was clearly an entry level product. The 4000 (which I have not touched, so this is based on reviews only) is built like a tank (as pretty much all Denon controllers are). That’s one point for the Denon.

  Inputs & Outputs: Denon kicks the SB hard here. How to download packet tracer on mac wine pictures. Absolutely no competition. Balanced master outs, balanced booth outs, aux input, dual mics. You may not need these right now, but you could take this controller and plug it into any top-of-the-line system without issue. Trust me, more output options is always better. Always. So that’s another point for Denon.

  Basically, unless there is something you really, really like on the SB2 control surface, the Denon looks like a better, more useful product from where I’m sitting.

  I’d say the SB is a starter controller, the MC4000 is as pro-grade as the MC6000mk2, just in a 2-deck/2-channel and less cluttered version.

  I would think you have two options (well you have millions, but effectively imho):
  1) Buy yourself one of the controllers on our starter list:
  a) Pioneer SB
  b) Numark Mixtrack Pro (any type but preferably the 2 or 3)
  c) Denon MC2000
  d) Reloop Beatmix 2
  My suggestion would be to get one used. There should be a fair amount of them around. Since they will most likely have seen only bedroom use, chances are more than fair that they are in good shape. And if you have someone who is disappointed in DJ-ing, they might even be almost new for a fraction of the cost.
  This gives you a cheap step into controller use and you can still sell them 6 months down the line without losing too much on them even.
  2) Buy the MC4000 and be done with it for the foreseeable future (you won’t outgrow this controller quickly and as Todd said, it’s built like a tank and will most likely outlive you 😀 ).

  The thing is that buying a controller is something that is directly linked to your workflow. That dictates first your choice of software, then the choice of controller (in between there is a budget decision as well).

  You may find that you want to check out other software when you have a controller. You may not be quite sure about what your workflow will be like (when using a controller setup).

  Option 1) then gives you a cheap entry into controller use, the chance to try out other software (most will let you use Serato Intro, VDJ, Mixvibes Cross and even Traktor (don’t though!)) and to figure out what it is you do want and need in your next controller, which might then no longer be the MC4000. No or very little money invested and wasted and when you start spending the serious bucks you have better assurance that it will be on the gear that is right for you.

  I’d even spend some of the money you are not initially spending on a new controller on the How To Digital DJ Fast course here. It will help you kickstart a practice regimen with your controller that prevents you from lots of trial and error.

  Just my two cents, as usual.

  Still a lot better than the SB which has NO meters at all :D. But yeah, them only being master output level meters is a missed opportunity. I have no idea if that is something fixable with a firmware upgrade.
  Another feature the MC4000 has that you will find on very few other (including all Pioneer) controllers is the split cue option, which is VERY handy if you need to mix in your headphones for whatever reason.

  Ok, over here (Netherlands) I have seen some pretty low priced starter controllers. And we have heard stories here about readers that picked up really cheap used gear.

  As for build quality. Without being too unfriendly to Pioneer, but Denon build quality exceeds that of Pioneer (with a margin I might add). And frankly, Pioneer isn’t THAT known for their build quality although it depends on who you ask.

  As for the software. Like most midi controllers you can indeed map them to most software. Exceptions are Traktor, technically possible but works way better with Native Instruments/Traktor gear and Serato, your controller needs to be supported – but lately the number of supported controllers has increased tremendously. VDJ and Mixvibes Cross have good support for lots of different controllers or the option of (simply) creating your own mapping. VDJ definitely in the lead there though.

  Having said that, it takes time to prep your tracks properly in your software (cues, loops, beat grids and such) and not always can you transfer that hard work when you switch to another software platform. Also there is a learning curve and “muscle memory” involved in getting to know your software intimately, you’d have to do that all over too. I switched a couple of years ago and I won’t switch again unless there is a very good reason. Tuxera ntfs full download.

Denon Dj Mc4000

Description

A peerless combination of features and build quality for professionals.

The MC4000 is an exciting addition to Denon DJ's distinguished line of professional DJ products. Featuring a sleek new design and inviting appearance, the MC4000 continues Denon DJ's reputation for innovative features, dependability, unrivaled sound quality and peerless value.

Control the Action

The MC4000 is a 2-deck Serato DJ controller for the professional entertainer wrapping in-demand audio manipulation tools in a robust steel chassis for rugged durability.

In addition to precision touch-activated jog wheels, performers get access to dedicated hot cue and sample pads for on-the-fly creativity. Long-throw 100mm pitch faders and an intuitive control layout deliver natural operation when balancing complex set elements. A particularly useful feature–and virtually unheard of at the MC4000's modest price point–is Balanced Booth Outputs, which feeds the program signal to a set of local monitor speakers near the DJ, with the ability to adjust the Booth level independent of the main level.

Nice 'Dashboard'

When you're driving a high-performance car on a twisty mountain road, the last thing you want is to have your concentration broken by having to search for awkwardly-placed controls. Same thing with your controller: When the action is hot and you're in the groove, you want the controller to be an extension of your thoughts and intentions. The MC4000 puts a special emphasis on usability, where everything is located and spaced for optimum workflow. Unlike competitive units, there is no confusing, dense multi-functionality hiding in frustrating fashion beneath each pad.

On the contrary, the pads are directly accessible, grouped into logical, intuitive groups. Hot Cues, Loops and Sampler controls in specific, dedicated locations invite frequent, error-free use. Gone are the days of having to remember which ambiguous mode switch to push in order to activate the function you need at that immediate instant.

Plays Well with Others

The MC4000 includes Serato DJ Intro and is user-upgradable to full Serato DJ. It's also compatible with Traktor 2, Algoriddim djay Pro and Virtual DJ 8, as well as any other DJ application that supports MIDI mapping. This enables the DJ to use their use their favorite programs and customize their performance according to their personal style and the requirements of the situation.

Sound Matters

With a well-deserved reputation for their emphasis on sound quality, Denon DJ includes a premium 24-bit audio output path for noticeably clearer mixes. Denon DJ's highly regarded dual microphone inputs are complemented by a studio-grade echo effect, and 'ducking' feature–effortlessly moving vocals to the top of the mix without riding faders.

In addition, each microphone input has its own 2-band LF/HF EQ, for exact sound customization. In keeping with Denon Professional's superlative sound heritage, the microphone pre-amps boast truly low-distortion, low noise, high headroom sound characteristics, making the MC4000 especially well-suited to applications where the ultimate musical sound quality is of paramount importance, such as weddings, Mitzvahs, etc.

Putting it Together

Denon DJ's Controller line has always represented premium features for discerning DJs. The MC4000 punches well above its weight by including the tools that professional DJs need to drive a memorable event. The layout, solid construction, portability, audio quality, the multiple inputs and outputs–it all adds up to a spot-on performance for the demanding mobile entertainer.
