Denon DJ Prime GO - In Depth Feature Review

[@sidneyshepherd3553]

Well done for an amazing review, I've had mine for two months now, and it's perfect. I've played in BIG gigs and weddings and next to other DJs who have monster controllers, mine just looks like a toddler and doesn't catch any eyes of the novice, but the big boys DJs, come around it and are amazed at what it can do and how portable it can be. The best feature for me than others, is the Tidal, Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, etc, integration. If I had the cash, I would buy another one just to have them side by side when I DJ.

Great video.. I would like to know if I could use a samsung external ssd with the Denon prime go? Thanks 🙏

[@stedega368]

Great review ... bought mine and am super happy !

[@440king-g8d]

Jus got mine! Really Diggin' The Streaming Capability This thing is a BEAST!💪💪

[@AluzionTV]

sensistar1224 yeah it is def a beast, I think the sound is one of my favorite attributes about it.

[@controllerbrain]

Just bought this unit. I love it!

[@EraserMocanuRobert]

can you do everything on it without laptop i guess? and is it possible to connect by bluetooth to a boombox jbl for example like mixing in the woods or bbq etc cause everyone keep on telling me pioneer but i feel like this would suit more for parties

[@controllerbrain]

@@EraserMocanuRobert No Bluetooth. Can you do everything that you can do on a laptop with software? I doubt it, but it definitely does everything that I need when mixing (including beat gridding which is not mentioned in the manual, it's kind of a hidden feature).

[@jimmyhernandez7713]

Well explain and easy to understand. I'm willing to purchase one soon thanks for the video.. Jimmy

[@DJTyme209]

hey Aluzion TV hands down your video is the best ive came across on utube. im on the fence about buying it and have been watching lots of reviews and most just show themselves mixing SMH you breakdown the most important part (the screen & its settings) thanks for an awesome video sir :-)

[@AluzionTV]

Thank you so much for recognizing all the hard work. It’s means a lot and as always my goal is to help people. If your on the fence about buying one. I would say make sure you get it from somewhere with a return policy. If you already have Prime players and want something more portable than yes I think it’s a good addition if you can afford to drop the money. But if it’s your First Prime player I would say to get something else. The prime experience is better on the prime 2/4 or media players.

[@DJTyme209]

@@AluzionTV I dont have anything prime, BUT I'm a denon guy through & through. as most all my controllers are denon gear..the prime go is going to be 100% only my ceremony rig. I'm 200% only a wedding DJ so I'm in the process of redoing my ceremony gear. trying to downsize and carry less stuff 😉 my one concern is the brightness of the screen. some DJs say since it lays flat. its hard to see in direct daylight ? and most of the tyme I'm setup in the sun. no canopy because the ceremony is pretty short. so have you used your in direct sunlight ?

[@AluzionTV]

@@DJTyme209 no I haven’t used it in direct sunlight but some have used something to prop it at an angle. Have to see if someone here or on the Facebook group page can answer this for you.

Nice machine...just picked one up.

[@Nphasesprint]

Great review. Just ordered one

[@LuisAngel-pk9yi]

I got mine exactly one year ago it's pretty cool

[@BillyLydon]

How do you change the deck colors??? Also, how long does it take to charge fully when it’s plugged in? Thx

[@christinebock3733]

Can you see all your folders that on have on your s-card? Or you have to create them ?

[@focadacian4120]

Hi, how do I switch between channel meter / master meter ? I have a hard time setting the gains with no visual indicators.

[@AfternoonLemon]

Fantastic review, and what a piece of kit! There's not much on the market in terms of digital decks which don't require a computer and are fairly compact. The SC Live units dropped the Aux in which seems like a bizarre omission. Even this unit has it, and it's tiny! The only thing that puts me off this is the lack of EQ on the mics, the small touchscreen (clumsy fingers!) and no facility for an internal hard drive. I'm still tempted, though...

[@MZEBLUE]

We’ll done, thank you

[@Jahmount]

Thanks for the very helpful and structured review.

[@PierreVonStaines]

Really good review and straight to the point overview!

[@mehdishahbeigi]

Awesome 👍

[@ProDJ1]

How do I get to see the BPM's on the screen from my hard drive. It only shows the BPM's on the playlist and I don't even know how they got there. Thanks

[@Aesop101]

Can I connect this to any portable Bluetooth speaker

[@AluzionTV]

If that speaker has a line in port you can use a cable. The Prime Go does not stream music wirelessly to speakers. It does however stream music from the internet to the prime go so you can mix songs. Hope this helps. -J

[@ipj1970cnty]

Thank you so much for this.

Great review dude

[@AluzionTV]

Thank you so much

[@maus3454]

Only issue still outstanding is that you cannot disable the crossfader. I am not sure whether a feature request have been issued.

[@jhenry248]

Hopefully a software update will add that feature. But a hardware thru switch should have been installed from the start.

[@AluzionTV]

MAUS I agree. I am also slowly starting to see important features left out like the Crossfader thru mode, the channel level meters and some of the effects get loud as well when applying them. Hopefully denon can implement these in future firmware updates.

[@maus3454]

@@AluzionTV Indeed, the channel level meters are missing and some effects are either loud or just fading. Hopefully Denon can fix them inm firmware upgrades

[@AluzionTV]

MAUS I really hope so too

[@southwestisland6638]

thanks bro

[@davidvnthony]

Can you use headphones to hear the music before it goes to main speaker output?

[@AluzionTV]

Yes you can Cue the music and also dj through the headphones without the master output on. It’s all in the knobs on the front of the unit.

[@lieonkolenky7845]

How do you get the display all horizontal view all stacked on top of each other 3:59

[@AluzionTV]

Hey Lieon! You hold the shift key and press the view button right above that. Cheers mate!

[@kellyaustin7487]

Thank you for this review. Can you tell me how many mic inputs it has and if there is a booth out? Also what's the search keyboard look like? Thanks again.

[@AluzionTV]

Kelly Austin Hey Kelly! So the unit itself has 2 mic inputs located on the back of the unit as well as 1/4 in booth outputs. There’s also XLR balanced Out as well as RCA Master out. The 2 Mic inputs are combo jacks for 1/4in or XLR The search keyboard is the same as the other Prime Series. It works well and is easy to type on

[@kellyaustin7487]

@@AluzionTV Hey brother I had another question if you don't mind. Can you change the screen grid from horizontal to vertical? Not that it matters lol, I was just curious. Thanks again man. One love.

[@kellyaustin7487]

Never mind I just watched the video again and saw that you can do vertical wave form hahaha.

[@therealdjblack29]

Awesome review. Deck color? Why would Denon add that feature. Never the less, you've talked me into getting one. I love the Denon products. When I got my first SC5000, I stumbled on the Dual layer function and made quite a few mixtapes. That just motivated me to get another one sooner than I wanted to. Keep it up.

[@AluzionTV]

Thank you very much. I also love the denon prime products. I hope they keep innovating and improving engine!

[@robertcrosby6785]

How easy is it to see the touch screen in bright sunlight? I am running into this problem with my computer screen when playing outdoor events

[@AluzionTV]

You would have the same issue with any screen. You would need to tilt up towards you or stand under something to block the sun

[@bboymac84]

It also has WiFi, that’s a huuuge feature over looked!!

[@AluzionTV]

Mac Joseph yes your right. I definitely didn’t go over every feature just the interface and the general usage. Thank you for bringing that up

It’s the only way I know of. It’s small but it works. Never had an issue

[@RunTFC]

Having issues loading songs in Tidal in a public hotspot situation, even with a password to wi-fi. Any ideas on boosting public wi-fi signals to the GO?

surely just use your phone as a wi fi hot spot ?

can i use a 2tb hard drive?

Sam Parmley I don’t see why not. I only use a 1 tb so I can’t say definitely. But it should work.

They should add a slip mode

[@allee-82]

The issue with this review are your hands, please keep them still apart from when you're demonstrating and touching the unit otherwise talking with your hands is irritating in this demo

[@AluzionTV]

Thank you for your feedback I will keep that in mind when making future videos. I do this strictly to help other people out and make no money from my videos. I just try to have fun.

[@allee-82]

@@AluzionTV yes of course I understand, though at least try to minimise hand movements creeping in with the overhead shots....otherwise this particular demo and review was informative
