Denon DJ LC6000: Not Just For Engine PRIME Users! | Tips and Tricks

Denon DJ has announced their LC6000, which functions as a controller for the second layer on their PRIME Series media players - the SC5000 PRIME, SC5000M, SC6000, and SC6000M.
Whilst that functionality was expected, following a few leaks in recent months, what nobody knew was that the LC6000 would also be a controller for DJ software, including Serato DJ Pro, Virtual DJ, and Algoriddim's DJay AI. Mojaxx checks out all the functionality in his full review.

[@mr.c0nvn1enc37]

While I'm continually a fan of the content and the culture and appreciate all the hard work and effort that goes into these informational videos. I am also continually surprised at how easily we are wowed by repeat performance. If anyone has been keeping up with dj technology for the last 10 years, being excited about the release of this unit, the SC5000/m, the SC6000/m, the CDJ3000 should make you irritated more than anything. I listened to this man say "he look at a product and wonders why it didn't exist already"; but it has existed already or did we forget about the !DENON! SC2900. We let the manufacturers determine what gets developed, what gets supported and when they remake a product that existed almost 10 years ago we get excited. Sorry for the rant just a tad bit frustrated.

[@djwirezupdatempo..9813]

lovely review

[@williamsilver8322]

Another great video!

[@BobBenz55]

Denon DJ killing it. 👌

[@simonmatsuyama]

Great video! LC6000 as a midi-player is almost perfect in my opinion. A lightweight 2/4-channel midi mixer to control DJ software would be a dream to go with this. (1850 is too heavy!) Brilliant business for both customers and Denon since it’s just a midi-keyboard and that’s all you need if you’re a digital DJ.☀️

[@DjTonioRoffo]

Would be great, but a tad too expensive.

[@gngrmusic1202]

Thank you for clarifying these aren't ready to be used with the Prime 4! Just saved me $700!

Finally a successor to the SC2000 (I still use those !). And with Djay Pro for iPad now supporting external routing, this makes a great "standalonish" setup with an iPad connected to the main mixer ! Only problem here, fully standalone XDJ-700s are cheaper !!!

[@JayElzDj]

I've been waiting for something like this since forever! I have an older pioneer djm 900 Nexus mixer that I use for my vinyl sets. (used to use it with Traktor) I really don't use it with serato dvs, because I can only use channels 1&4 within the software, so that layout is kind of un-intuitive for me. I can now get a pair LC6000 and bang out, with an option of buying a sc 6000 in the future. This is Gold! Thanks for the review Mojaxx!

Does it send midi signals out? you can try to check this with Traktor DJ software..... good replacement for my DN-S 2000 controllers for Traktor.

Compared to the Pioneer Platter, how bad is the Denon LC platter?

[@D84D]

can you adjust the scratch sensitivity on the LC? I've used it with a RANE 70 and serato dj pro, but it seems to have a little slip. When I use the control vinyl and a 1200, it is accurate.

Now don't get me wrong, the LC6000 is a great product and to be honest, I wish it came out sooner.

Pioneer/Rekordbox not let you map a non Pioneer controller for some crucial controlls (i.g. platters) the even limit the remap on their own Pioneer units. The XDJ-Players are also very limited (you can just control one deck). Heck, I mapped once one CDJ-2000 to use with two Traktor decks - on Pioneers Rekordbox: no chance :-( If I haven't invested these hundred's of hour in building on the Rekrodbox collection (individual beatgrids, matched songs etc.) I would probably switch the software. If the LC6000 is fully midi mappable you could even map them for Traktor DJ. Pioneer need to wake up! If would even be o.k. paying 50% more for the Rekordbox subscription, if they let me map anything on any controller (and add Modfiers like in Traktor)!
