Denon DJ Prime GO Review

[@controllerbrain]

This is my only controller. Works great for all types of small gigs.

[@BillyLydon]

How small are we talking? Thx..

[@DJFiBa]

thanks so much for this quick but helpful demonstration bro

[@kareem_the_dream]

Thank you for watching!

[@joannaescolar7211]

Your vids our so great for emerging djs I love em! Please keep creating them

[@RealDJblaze]

Thank you!

[@UncleCatfish]

the onlllly things I want is bigger jogwheels... 7in or so and a better crossfader for scratching

[@alexdefrancisco3066]

Can you use it with the power adaptor hooked to be able to use it more than 4 hours?

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Do you have covers for all you mixers on the shelf? How do you keep them dust free..? Great review as always

[@RealDJblaze]

I have covers for a few of them on the shelf but not all of them. I don't really have much dust in my basement where this is filmed, but I do dust my electronics with makeup brushes every 10 months or so.

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

@@RealDJblaze Salute bro...

[@JaggaLawDREADKOCKSMAN]

Great video.. I would like to know if I could use a samsung external ssd? Thanks....

[@kareem_the_dream]

Thanks! Yes you can use that ssd!

[@decomicio]

I hope they add Serato DJ to this unit and Crossfader Reverse Switch ...

[@DJTechnoboom]

what do you think is better Prime GO or Pioneer XDJ - AERO?

[@kareem_the_dream]

Prime Go!

[@DJTechnoboom]

@@kareem_the_dream is there going be another DJ expo in Atlantic city again? I never been to 1 of them and would really like to go and film some stuff for my KZbin channel.

[@DJTechnoboom]

@@kareem_the_dream But what about the Sound quality ? the Pioneer AERO is eq is 9db, i was always curious to try the AERO but always end up getting outbid or end up buying something else cause they are still kinda expensive.

[@kareem_the_dream]

@@DJTechnoboom Should be an Expo next year as there was one this year. Not much came out and it was pretty small, but should be better next year if the pandemic is behind us by then.

[@LucVNO]

This machine is exactly what 2021 is calling for. Aint gonna be any clubs open, so we're building a portable soundsystem so we can throw some illegal parties out in the middle of nowhere.... This is whats gonna make it all work, will cut the need to use up power for a laptop.

[@bboymac84]

a laptop kick stand will help with sun glair. wish they add sun mode to see in the sun. also how they add slip and playlist search for faster more accurate search

[@kareem_the_dream]

Great to hear from you bro! You're right about the laptop stand and the need for sun mode!

What about the sync button?

[@RealDJblaze]

I think its here somewhere, but I don't remember though because I don't ever really look for it.

[@KevyMUZAK]

i see it only has one usb port, can a hub be used if you have one or more usb flash stick

[@brianglenary]

Yes

Hello greetings! I saw your video of the GEMINI CTRL 7 a long time ago and I ask you for help with that controller, you know I just bought a second-hand one but I can't connect it with the PC, they told me that they are the drivers, but I can't find them because nowhere, on the internet there is not much information about it please help thanks !!

[@RealDJblaze]

Not sure where to find the drivers now, but check the gemini website or contact gemini support directly to get the drivers...

[@megezerlopez4798]

Vs xdj rr which unit is better for the same price! I can’t decide! everyone please give pointers thanks.

[@RealDJblaze]

The XDJ-RR is a better all around DJ device. This should not be your only DJ device. This is more of a backup or small option for certain gigs...

[@megezerlopez4798]

@@RealDJblaze I’ve been using a ddj-sz for over a year now on serato.it’s been an amazing journey and still plays like a champ!,even though rekordbox isn’t me I’ve always wanted my first stand alone Dj controller since I don’t have a serato option at this time, but yeah I’m also considering a ddj-1000 srt to keep serato going.

[@djseasick]

I'm waiting on that rekordbox review on the S11... 😁

[@RealDJblaze]

My next S11 video won't be a long review like the others out there. I'm going to get straight to the Pro's and Con's for my final thoughts as everyone and their mother already reviewed this thing to death 😒

[@djseasick]

@@RealDJblaze You right. Everyone wants to review DJ products, rather than DJ now... 😁😁😁 Still, it's only a couple of things I wanna know. 1. Does the memory cues show on the waveforms for rekordbox? 2. Does the microphone settings have a pan option, for panning the mic? 3. Does the memory cues settings show a count down. I'm good after that! 😁

[@RealDJblaze]

@@djseasick I can answer these for you. #1 is clear... What do you mean for #2? Do you mean pan from Left to Right speakers? If so, then no... Also what do you mean for memory cues setting show a count down? Is there any device that does this already? I don't ever remember seeing a track time count down for the memory cues?

[@djseasick]

@@RealDJblaze Cool. In the settings of rekordbox, you can choose the time of countdown shown on display of the software under ther waveforms. It can show by beat, by bar, or by memory cue. It the secret to my mixes, lol...

[@christopherAwaite]

I got this for wedding ceremonies. Instead of using my phone. Or setting up the prime 4 twice.

[@remajaberkelas1090]

do you sell items that have been unboxed

[@RealDJblaze]

Sometimes...

[@remajaberkelas1090]

where you sell items that you have opened

@@remajaberkelas1090 Ebay!

[@DJTechnoboom]

@@RealDJblaze do you still sell stuff on eBay, what's your eBay link?

[@kareem_the_dream]

@@DJTechnoboom Nothing for sale here! Thanks for watching.

[@djfrankib45]

There is a drop down menu at the top of the screen that gives you cross fader adjustment. Also you have a option to do horizontal waves. The main reason to buy a Prime Go is because it has a battery. There is no current competition for the Prime Go at the moment.

[@RealDJblaze]

Yes, you can adjust the fader, but even at its sharpest adjustment, it is plain rubbish! Too big of a cut in distance. No one should pay $1000 for a DJ console that doesn't have an adequate fader. Some $100-200 mixers have innofaders already in them... No excuse here really. I agree that this is in a class all by itself as stated at the end of the review. I like the device though...

[@djfrankib45]

@@RealDJblaze If you don't like the fader because you spin hip hop & scratch that's cool. I spin house music and we don't scratch. We beat match & our transitions are long. The cut in on the fader doesn't matter. A lot of house music DJ's use the channel faders anyway. When was the last time you saw Louie Vega scratch. Lol. My point is the fader is fine. It all depends on what type of music you play.

[@RealDJblaze]

@@djfrankib45 Well, even if you don't scratch you should have the best crossfader for your money... especially if you are spending $1000! You should still have the ability to scratch even if you don't want to use it. No excuse for a bad crossfader in a unit that costs this much.

[@djfrankib45]

@@RealDJblaze So now I get it. You have a problem with the price in general. I have been a DJ since the 80's and used many different pieces of kit. Since I don't scratch; as long as that cross fader doesn't bleed I don't care. As innovative as the Prime Go is. And as much as it does. And no matter how professional it is. You sir are the only reviewer out of them all. And their are a lot. That has trashed the cross fader to the point you have is admirable. Forget that the Go doesn't need a laptop, is of metal construction, has a 4hr battery, has the ability to stream music, has an excellent pitch control, and pro grade connections. All of that for $1000. Wow. I do have a Prime Go, a Prime 4, and two SC 6000's. All of these products do what no other competitor can currently do. I am not brand loyal. I am feature loyal. Nice basement by the way. I'll still watch your reviews though. We all are entitled to our own opinions; that's what makes us different.

[@rorz999]

@@djfrankib45 he doesn't have a price with the unit in general. He's just saying that at this price point, the crossfader should be decent. It's still a good value unit but they shouldn't cut corners on a fundamental like that. If you've ever gone from a good crossfader to a bad one, you'll know how badly the feeling sucks

[@bangintables]

salute...I posted this video on BanginTables.com producer & dj blog.

[@RealDJblaze]

Thank you for the post!

[@hypnoarmy4644]

A big heads up, Despite all of the things Prime Go can do it can't separate the VU on the master meter for individual channels. This thing is a piece of crap if you can't even level your music. Buy something else until Denon gets their act together. People have been on the forum bitching about this since April. No fix in sight. Garbage waste of time Prime Go is.

[@kareem_the_dream]

Are there any other battery powered standalone DJ controllers that can compete with this?

[@hypnoarmy4644]

@@kareem_the_dream Not that I've seen. I just want level mixes, this thing will not provide that without extreme work around. It's a cool piece if it had that one function.

[@rorz999]

Does this light up the tracks to let you know what you’ve previously played ??
