Why I got rid of my Denon Prime 4

[@ToddBryantsr]

My issue is that both Apple and Microsoft are always updating their operating systems to fix vulnerabilities which is a good thing. But for a DJ performer it causes a lot of problems where you can never really predict that your laptop is going to be stable. Additionally, the Prime 4 is just a beast from a connectivity standpoint. I agree with you about hte effects, but I was able to get Echo and Flanger to work simultaneously which is all I basically use. I like having a solid dedicated platform that just works. Cheers!

Funny you mentioned this because I’m considering doing the same thing myself

[@JoePhame]

Yeah still waiting on the next controller to wow me.. I'll just keep using my turntables until then.

[@LasherDevianceGaming]

So wait. You loved the Prime 4, but you got rid of it to step down to teach the kids on a Mixtrack? The Mixtrack runs the same software and it only costs $600. You could have kept the P4 and you and anyone with a job could have saved up for two months to get the Mixtrack and had both. One to teach the kids and one for yourself. And as for turntables, I have my 1200's plugged into my Prime 4. None of this makes sense. If you didn't like it, I get that but you could have just said that. You didn't need to make a video about how you didn't want to use the Prime 4 anymore and wanted to go back to tables while buying a lesser version of what you already had. Make it make sense...

I WAS gonna say This…But THANK YOU for saying it First. It doesn’t make sense to say you got rid of the Prime 4 to teach the Kids. The Title makes it seem like HE didn’t like Prime 4 for whatever reason. I’d never get rid knowing all of what it can do. He wasted Money and then goes into speaking about Macs 🤔😐🤔

[@Suntdy007]

I’d recommend the prime go

[@ONEHENDRIX]

Same here. If they had an LC6000M, I’d jump on that. But i ended up getting the LC6000’s to pair up with my sc6000M’s

[@Ziggy_v2]

You're gonna miss your Prime4- but I get it. Always moving forward - what's new - what's next.

[@JoePhame]

Yeah waiting on new setup still once I get ill be doing videos on that

[@vdjmilda5117]

What an Upgrade ??? meibe change or downgrade ... UP is LEVEL UP Numark with laptop(or tablet with djay software) is not upgrade in dj´s words

[@kamellrassas7071]

Bruhh nothing you said makes sense! You just took a phat L. You basically had the best controller. The kids??? Common man!

[@JoePhame]

There was other personal reasons why I got rid of the controller. A controller or any piece of gear is just that it doesn't make you the dj. A real dj can dj on anything no matter how high end or how low end of gear you use. Most pro djs will out shine anyone if they using a pioneer sb3 or a cdj 3000s. So yeah sometimes down grading for a greater purpose is not a big L to all. I don't regret getting rid of my prime 4 because I can still do everything with turntables which I prefer using over the prime 4. It just hard ware everyone has their own reasons.

[@DirtyDiezel]

you made no sense in this video.... you could have bought the numark and kept the prime 4. Somethings fishy here buddy

[@JoePhame]

No it was just time I wanted to upgrade to something different. I wanted to sell my prime 4 for new set up so I did. Plus wanted get more stuff for music production.

[@DirtyDiezel]

@@JoePhame if you had a big bag of money you would have kept the prime 4 and bought new gear is my point....the struggle is real my friend

[@JoePhame]

@@DirtyDiezel yeah not money bags at all lol and facts if I had money to keep n upgrade would of kept it lol

[@DirtyDiezel]

@@JoePhame yeah I usually sell one to buy one also

[@SehxualPanda]

i did exactly this. I have the Prime 4 and bought the Numark, i've had a controller fail me in the past so I decided to buy a basic backup controller i can throw into a backpack just in case my main breaks down during a gig

[@bboymac84]

Use the prime go

[@BlueHawk80]

blabla nonsense...
