Nice, I'm hopeful you'll choose me, awesome 👌

[@tetrahedron647]

If you want a standalone unit, Denon is definitely ahead of the "competition". And since there is a club standard, Denon made the right strategy to follow the layout. We should also appreciate the effort put into all the integrations with third party services. Honestly, I think Denon is doing way more for us as Pioneer, serving us low budget controllers. Thank you for the review. It's a real standalone controller and I'll buy it for Christmas. :)

[@grahamkelly8662]

@@m-stat9 hi, I actually bought the sc live 4 but unfortunately, it really wasn’t for me and I sent it back. Too many things I didn’t like and it just didn’t give me that feeling I got when I mixed on vinyl. I know the 2 are different and I’m not taking about the same feeling as 1 for 1 I’m talking that pure joy. 1 massive complaint I had was the buttons and pads are incredibly stiff and I often had trouble just starting a song on beat the other playing song, so I could mix it and when I did manage it, it just didn’t feel right when using the pitch. I missed the physical feeling of vinyl and along with everything else, I just couldn’t get on with it. I did think the overall build was pretty good but few of the big ugly knobs make it look cheap. I did really like amazon music streaming and that’s all I used. I was so unimpressed, I didn’t bother playing my own songs. I really didn’t like the built in speakers. Over half way and playing bass heavy songs, the bass distorts lots and if you turn bass down, it’s like listen to music through phone speakers. God only knows how people like them and then the speakers make the whole unit vibrate loads and I do not like that.

[@MrKuken911]

So, I've been using the SC Live 4 since December now, and I have to say I love it. To the point where I'm selling my Prime 4. I'm a bedroom DJ these days (throwing a party here and there - I've dj'ed for over 15 years back in the late 80's and 90's until I got married, kids, etc.) and this controller is just perfect for me. I don't have enough space to have my P4 ready to be used at all time. And having to plug it to speakers, etc. is discouraging when you have 10-15 minutes to spare on quick mixing and/or scratching. The SC Live 4 is almost perfect for me. I switch it on, and voilà ! I can have fun for a few minutes. It has all the bells and whistles that I would expect: a more standard club layout (never been able to really enjoy the P4 layout), integrated wifi with multiple possibilities, a small but great touchscreen, usable and convenient information on the jobwheels, a descent crossfader for scratching, 4 channels, pads, fx, etc. to work on my creativity... and can easily be brought to bigger venues thanks to its okish connectivity. The built-in speakers are really good for my usage. I've tried them in a tiny party with some friends and frankly, they were great until we needed more "umph". IMO, don't expect to throw a party with them, even if it's only for a handful of people who want to dance. It certainly is more "plasticky" than the P4, but it doesn't feel cheap at all. I'll keep my Rane One when I need a more turntablist session to remind me of ol' good times, but for everything else, the SC Live 4 is exactly what I need to get back into mixing/scratching during my precious spare time. And if I need to DJ at the few parties I go to. For someone who stopped DJing in the early 2000's, I have so much fun discovering how creative this piece of equipment allows me to be! Gosh, I wish I had that back in the days when I needed to be mobile!

[@theweddingspinner7340]

Great review. im a full time Wedding and events DJ and tried the various pioneer RX models before moving to the prime 4. Which was an absolute game changer and being able to completely remove the laptop and also stream was incredible. The prime is probably 4 years old now and several of the buttons (including the really important view button) have deteriorated and even fallen into the casing. So I was basically looking for a back up to cover the prime going away for repair and service. This actually ( although I initially poo poo'd the idea of onboard speakers) looks really perfect for the price point. There are things I don't use on the prime at all like the zone output or the entire effects panel at the top. So the effects down the side of the mixer are very welcome. The speakers had me worried but you know what. i don't normally set up monitors when I'm mixing at weddings so the added benefit of being to pop them on for a quick check if it gets a little noisy are actually quite a useful idea. I think I'm sold... cheers

[@grahamkelly8662]

Did you buy? If so, what it at least decent compared to prime 4? You said there was lots of features on prime 4 that you didn’t use. Including the effects at top of the device. The main think that is stoping me from buying prime 4 plus, is the fact that the effects are at the top of the device and if I bought it for £2000 and I was unable to reach the effects knobs, I’d be gutted. Or maybe I can reach them but because they are at the top/back of device, will be too difficult to know what knob does what, because it’s so far away and I can’t see the small wording. Did you not use the effects on prime 4 because you simply didn’t want to use them? Or did you not use them because you couldn’t reach properly? Or could reach but can’t tell what does what, because you can’t see? If effects was down side on prime 4 like sc live 4, I’d deff buy it.

[@boudicca-drumbass1571]

Really don't understand the hate just because there are onboard speakers. You can turn them off and use your own if your not keen. This is a very well priced 4 channel unit and I've just bought it 👍

You can regulate the range, to 8-10-20-50-100. It is done by pressing shift + pitch bend buttons, or from the configuration menu, you can deactivate the pitch bend function of the buttons, and use them directly to change the pitch range, this is how I have it configured@@ShaunMagooMcGowan

[@p0wertiger]

I've been looking into standalone units more and more, Denon has so much more to offer than for example Pioneer which floats on its "industry standard" boat with not much innovation. When it comes to speakers built into the deck it gives out a feel of a "party toy" rather than pro equipment, they would fit better in a product like Denon Prime GO - portable with battery power. Thanks for the review, I'm considering swapping my SX3 to this one.

[@m-stat9]

I think the speakers are super convenient for many situations, far more than just a party gimmick.

[@JigeryPokery51]

I blew many speakers back in the day. At home just amazing in a 6m x 4m man cave. Trouble is it’s straight up

I’m thinking of upgrading to this from my DDJ-400s. The pads and effect button are the same where they’re clicky and the streaming being built in is so good! It’s just the price is so much for me as a uni student! It’s just the 4 channels and streaming is what I need.

[@LocarioDJ]

Hi all, i was using a FLX6 some months ago, i adquired this product. Must say the speakers are some personal use for bedroom, right. But i am impressed with the solid build materials rather than the plastic of the FLX6 product. Atm happy with this. I was looking for a standalone product and this product fits my needs perfectly, for use in small parties and for my personal use, perfect product.

Automating lighting control is a nice feature. Definitely going on the list of things to upgrade to. I'm just getting back into DJ'ing. I'm used to a rane 4 channel mixer, 2 cd decks and 2 mini disc decks with no bells and whistles from back in the day. Learning now the modern tricks and tools using an entry level pioneer controller.

[@AngelD68]

Same here lol

[@MrThomAce]

I'm using the onboard lighting since about a year ago and I can tell that it is the best ever feature I have seen so far. It never miss a beat, automatically pulling the script for every single tracks. I love it. But, you will need at least a USB to DMX dongle and fixture added on your laptop to get it working. This kind of minimal setup is not really explained anywhere. I might make a tutorial...

[@grahamkelly8662]

@@MrThomAceI hear there’s few different lights in general. I see gamers on KZbin have the lights around their room, in pc etc but I have absolutely no knowledge of such device. What is the cheapest lights I could buy to go with Denon sc live 4? Or maybe all these types of lights are fairly cheap? I just never had any of these kinda lights and think it will be a bit of fun, having them synced with the Denon sc live 4 in my bedroom. Would yiuve so kind as to possibly share some amazon links with me, for lighting? I just have no clue and if there’s many different types, I won’t know what are good .

Moved over to SC Live 4 from Traktor and the Kontrol S2 mk3 - because this is for me the perfect home setup to practice for a standard club setup, like CDJ and DJM. Can’t complain for now, I’m just baffled how userfriendly this thing is. Plug in a rekordbox USB stick, and ist just reads it, including cues and loops. Someone’s really done heir homework :)

Owning a traktor S4 for many years and a pioneer XDJ RX mk1 for the standalone features really helpful for my weekly residencies, i was planning to go to the XDJ RX3 because i love the track preview and the Pioneer fx layouts. It’s so convenient on the S4 and quite good on the RX3. I was also lurking for the Prime 2 now that engine os got the track preview, but hesitating because of the fx layout. It looks like the SC Live product line have combine all the features i love with Traktor and Pioneer, and for more than 1000€ price difference…1300€ for the SC 4 vs 2400€ for the XDJ XZ (without track preview and need of a computer for 4 decks use) or 2100€ for XDJ RX3 with track preview but 2 decks. I’ll just wait a bit for feedbacks about firmware stability and system crashes, i can play sometimes up to 8h straight and can’t afford to reboot the controller every 3 hours. Thanks for your review, it’s clear and explain everything we want/need to know before emptying our wallet.

Short of reworking the fx position and a os improvement there really isn't much for them to change.

[@djerniet350]

@@thehumangerm I agree, I do know that prime 4 mk2 will have the amazon chip like the sc live contollers but other than that would be interesting to see what else they implement on them when they do come out. My prime 4 has been running excellent for 3 years no complaints. If they come out with a Prime 4 MK2 I will sell my Prime 4 back to guitar center and get it. I use my prime go for small events. I gave up on Pioneer due to there money grabbing sales tactic. Add a new feature on new gear only, unlike Denon who puts all the features DJ's are asking for on one machine and continues to add more. So I am sure the new Prime 4 MK2 will be full of features DJ's have been asking for.

[@gilboogie]

This might be the upgrade to my MC7000. Still waiting to see the new Rane controller.

[@MrZinnerman]

Gil boogie, you quit making youtube vids

[@djerniet350]

I have the MC7000 also. And the MC6000 still love them both. But I know use my prime go for picnics and corporate social grand opening events and Prime 4 for Dance parties.

[@jeydee5420]

Hello and congratulations for the video, I ask you if it has the SAMPLER function on the pads and how to activate it. Thank you

[@grahamkelly8662]

When holding the jog wheel and holding the beat to drop it to mix, does it feel like using a 1210 direct drive in quality feel and instant start up? Or does the jog wheel feel poor quality like mixing with belt drive ? How’s the feel? Great or bad? It needs to feel direct and nice.

[@brandonsealey4511]

Keeping my prime 4 waiting for the new Rane controller - that will be the one

[@zacharykrevitt7560]

my sync bitton only syncs the BPM but not the beat, is it unable to sync beat or am I just missing something... can't find the answer anywhere

[@carlo11marc1]

I would love to see Denon upgrade Prime 4 just like the Rane one or the pioneer DDJ Rev7 now I will definitely change my Prime 4 if I'm good 👍.

[@JigeryPokery51]

Best way to throw the sound forward instead of up?? Link me

[@garyusinger]

Just wondering how my DDJ-XP2 will work with this? I imagine if I am using Serato then it would work. Probably not so great with the denon DJ Engine. I hate that Rekordbox went to a subscription, but I will probably stick with Rekordbox and the large monitor that I use with my Mac mini. Thanks for the demo.

[@Locotropic]

Why they downgraded the big sleek monitor on the prime 4 with its thin bezels

[@getasa6123]

Few questions: How do you the remove que start once you’ve set it? Change auto loop setting so that instead of pressing at the start of the loop for it, you press at the end ? Edit tempo slider so the key locks and doesn’t change as you change tempo ?

[@DJARIG1]

Nice review, what about SAMPLER? I can;t see sampler button. Thanks.

[@Tony-kc5fi]

Great review...anyone have any details with how it links with streaming services? ie Can you link to spotify? Or just amazon? Can you download/stream tracks and use them the same way as if you were pulling them in off usb? Ie use all the fx, create hotcues etc. Presumably downloaded/streamed tracks cant be saved to the device/usb? After purchase you get a pro licence of serato dj.? Presumably when connected to laptop it just acts as a midi controller? Kinda disconnect the internal software? Apologies for so many questions.

[@osh241]

Good review as alway by Jamie and the guys at crossfader 👍 As a prime 4 user this doesn't appeal me mainly due to the on board speakers.. The pioneer style FX layout or "industry standard" is a downgrade Vs the 2 banks on the P4. Larger screen etc all makes me feel happy with what I have as this feels more like a downgrade. My dream upgrade would be the SC600M, only for scratching on the lovely big jogs. I wish Denon would release an update so play/sync up my technics standalone without a laptop and time vinyls. Maybe ?? Are you reading this Denon??

[@bodymoversmusic6207]

No Denon never reads

[@MrAnish007]

Accept the screen size....😢...this is awesome product...how to enlarge the waveforms and energy portions...was thinking of adding a magnifier screen..lol😮😮..any ideas😂

[@FawazAlAfrah]

Hello can you help me, Why can't I connect to Serato DJ pro? Denon DJ SC LIVE 4 - 4 channel DJ controller

[@grahamkelly8662]

How exactly do the effects work? On my pioneer mixer it has a volume knob to lower or make effects louder. Does this Denon sc live 4 have a volume knob for effects? Or is it just at 100%? If so, that’s really bad and sounds horrible. I like control over my effects so why they’d leave it out, is crazy.

[@Cybercygni]

Can I use Amazon Music on 2 channels and music from USB on the other 2, if I want to run on 4 channels?

[@djerniet350]

Yep

[@hamletcabrerart]

If yes, that’s amazing, I’m sold!

[@kirbykracklemusic]

Would we consider this a professional set up like the Prime or more intro level? Thanks!

[@kineticmusiclines]

I would called this advanced, somewhere in between.

[@DMulabiTalejan]

Thanks. I think this is sort the young bros to the Prime 4/2 aimed at sitting in between the Prime Go and Mixstream and Prime42/. Seems to me/would you say the fx set up here is better than Prime 4/2?

[@PUMPINGSHARK]

I have a denon prime and this is intruiging for a 4 deck, and monitors, all of it seems - more fun in terms of bringing it around. Can you put the fx on multiple channels? I still love my compact denon prime go I don't know if I would replace it I do want a 4 deck denon. Has this won over the prime 4, for me personally I don't know yet.

[@OfficalMrBlue]

Amazon music.... What about Spotify? or KZbin Music?

[@deejayjerome]

Hey there, can you play tracks on the SC Live 4 directly from USB without using Engine Software? And if so, how does the screen look, does it has the same views, or is the screenview limited? Thanks in advance for your reply! Grtz Jerome

[@jonathanbrisard7360]

Denon should make a 4 channel Serato controller with large jog wheels like the SC6000. I don’t know why they’re sticking with standalone, people still like Serato and they have no controller competing against Pioneer (1000srt) & Rane (rane one)

[@juliandelarusso1689]

this is like a ddj 400 with steroids, def going for this

[@otekmiiko]

Do you know if you could expand upon the decks using something like the denon LC6000's I'd love to have a four deck set up for when i'm out playing shows and just a simple 4 fader two deck switch for the studio. Thanks :)

[@EricBishard]

I'm not sure if you covered it but to half the loop I've noticed you have to turn the knob is there a way to have it or quarter it by just pressing a button? Please excuse me if you show this

[@rockyboy976]

Great video Buddy :-) Would u go for 2 or 4 channels? I still dont understand...

[@m-stat9]

get the Live 4, the 2 is too limited and just 200 bucks cheaper, not worth the saving imho

[@christolongers]

Don’t suppose you know if this has the feature that shows you have already played a track so it marks it . Can’t seem to find it anywhere

[@djoliashman3638]

Can't really see any benefit over the PRIME 4 that I would use. It may attract some Pioneer users across to Denon though.

[@neiljohnston6523]

ITs an addition to the Prime range.. both sit alongside each other at varying price points.

[@djoliashman3638]

@@neiljohnston6523 The price is similar. Don't really see the need. A £500 standalone controller would have a huge market, a top end replacement for the PRIME 4 would have a market but I can't see many of these units selling.

[@TheRealDanMac]

no control over the sweep fx? what if noise is too loud ? how about resonance on filter etc

[@grahamkelly8662]

Oh I didn’t think of that. Do you know if there’s a way to make the effect lower or higher volume? Or is it just on 100?

[@ozgurbilgi1411]

Thanks for nice review. Can i use live 4 with my mac while playing? Reason is i want to see my songs on my mac’s screen while playing. Looking for a song in 7” onboard screen not ideal for me due to my eyes 🤓

[@djerniet350]

Yes you can but the main purpose of using these new denon controllers is to get away from using the computer. But you can run serato or virtual dj from your computer through this controller.

[@johnsheppard4601]

Just got unit. Can you tell me where I can find my DJ Serato Pro license ? Thanks

[@grahamkelly8662]

At 5.50 what does this guy mean by “you can edit the grid of a song”? Then he says but I won’t edit this because the grid is correct for this song. What does this mean? I’ve only mixed on vinyl decks so this is all new.

[@carlgetem1192]

It now works with DJayPro AI 5.2

[@R34L17Y]

How tall are you in feet and inches so that I could compare the size proportions of the controller?

[@markporritt9569]

Denon prime 4 owner not a fan of the built In speakers I'll be sticking with the prime 4

[@Victor-it6bv]

Can you do a demo with Serato or Virtual Dj on this device?

[@AudioDoctorOfficial]

Heard some people having screen issues or glitches how is it for you now

[@Lizzybirds40]

Hi what would you recommend out of these and the rx3

[@marcolondon88]

Should i get this now?!

[@TimLoco]

Hello to Numark-style ))) inMusic holding...

[@alexjbayas]

I just don’t get it why samplers button is missing 😏

[@djerniet350]

Well Alex every one has been asking for sample buttons, so i feel on the updated Prime 4 MK2 when ever it comes out, it might have it.

[@kurtlloyd6318]

Use deck 3 & 4 to layer

[@shadezondabeat]

If this controller had bigger perfomance pads and better cue buttons this would have been a must buy... What shame!!!

[@bleepfakes]

also can you route the aux input to one of the 4 channels? be nice to input my music gear (drum machines etc) into one of the channels

[@kineticmusiclines]

I don't think so, as in Prime Go I own aux in only control is volume knob, here will be the same - not even eq on aux - which to me isn't problem as I am using this only if someone is using Traktor or Ableton when we raving in the woods and my prime go is there main unit, which still working on internal battery with battery monitor speakers in case when power generator runs out of fuel unexpectedly.

[@MrThomAce]

Yet another great review Jamie. But, as I already expressed in Discord where you asked me what I wanted to know about this product, I am not really amazed by this one because even the SC4 is a step back compared to Prime 2. Despite the fact that SC4 having 4 ch and P2 having only 2, but I really miss the per-channel fx (independently for each channels), internal SSD / HDD bay, on top SD + USB. I haven't seen the crossfader contour changig possibility (probably it is within the OS), the performance pads are not as good as I expect (on Primes the performance buttons are lighting more, etc...) The pad selection buttons are a lot smaller than on Prime units, but it is acceptable. The addition which is really a nice feature is the deck display in jogwheels that we, Denon users crying since year for Denon to implement in Prime units - without success so far -, however they added EXACTLY that into this product. Ehhh... (Shame on you Denon!) But, since no booth output on SC2 and the price is not much lower than P2, I would not buy these. However, as I said in Discord and just as you said in the video, this is more like a personal preference (the same as when we discussed about the headphones). However... If I could afford, I would buy SC4 to my daughter to play with / learn instead of Mixstream or Prime Go. That's for sure. So... I feel that this is a great product but I have some concerns and in a scale from 1 to 10 I would give a 6 or 7 for it. For those who wanted to upgrade from DDJ series or even Numark (for example: Mixtrack), this would be a groundbreaking stuff. Thanks again for this great review, you summarized pretty well what I have asked in Discord. Briliant video again Jamie. Thanks!
