5 reasons why I sold my Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000s for the Denon DJ SC6000s

here's why I sold my CDJ-3000s and have no regrets.

i did the same years ago. I swapped my 900NXS for 2 SC5000 and never looked back. and best of all, denon hardware only gets better the longer you have it, as new features and improvements are added with every firmware update. Pioneer players only get older, not better.

Last year I was ready to get a pair of XDJ1000Mk2 to use at home. Luckily I discovered, that for less money I can get a pair of SC6K. They ended up providing more functionality than even a CDJ3K setup would. I combined my Denon decks with a Xone 96 mixer - really a dream setup for me after spending a lot of time on vinyl with Xone62 and 92 when I got started as a DJ years ago.

I’ve played on them first time 2 weeks ago and I’m going to buy one soon 💪

I can 100% relate to this. Facts man. I have the SC6000M. Love them. The spinning motors gives me that turntable feel. Love it

Got these about a year ago now and have loved every minute of use. Hooked up to my DB4 mixer I've now got my ideal setup. Would take these over Pioneer decks every time now

I sold my Nexus rig & got a pair of SC6KMs & X1850 & later a pair of LC6Ks and it's done wonders for my work flow if nothing else. Brand Tribalism within the DJ community is a real thing & is toxic. Fans of either or will talk crap about the other without ever laying a hand on the other gear.

It’s just an incredible unit. No need to even have a laptop if you can’t be assed with that. You can set all the cues and loops etc on the streaming apps right on the unit. Then they stay there when you next load that track. They are insane to be honest and I love them. I paired them with the x1850 mixer and never been happier.

Ok so I’m lazy and can’t be assed to keep downloading every track and putting it on USB every time
I find a new track I like….but these are great for discovering new music I wouldn’t have normally before due to these streaming services available direct on the units themselves.

Literally jump on for a drum and bass mix. Session that for a while and then can just jump to funky disco or hip hop set without having to actually own and download the tracks. Awesome for when you’re not sure what mood you’re in. Love them. Skips that time and barrier of downloading every tune. Just jump on and find some bangers! Quality

I am going to pick up my new gear this week, 2x SC6000’s with the X1850 mixer, always had Pioneer, but these look amazing

[matthewstevens]

yep, i have sc600's and a from some faults with a screen, which was fixed under go to equipment.

[arielkova]

It’s possible to change the beat counter 4 lines to a similar mode small lines of the Cdj ?

Ive been concinced to switch to Denon mixer and decks...just picked up a used X1800 mixer and holy cow I love it...can't wait to get the decks now.

[djplastix]

Access to music yes exactly! The Denon mixer is now unavailable for weeks, but the players are there

[VoyageOne]

I’ve had my SC5000’s for just over a year and I love them to bits. Can’t wait for my X1850 to arrive ;)

[mardyj]

Some nice DnB n Jungle tunes in ur library!

[micksumo]

Denon media players are fantastic. Traded in an rx2 and upgraded to sc5000s years ago best thing ever

[JosephRockyBoy]

Preview and Touch Cue via Prolink on CDJ-3000 kills features that's in Denon
And why CDJ-3000 is always out of stock then ?

I was thinking about getting a pair of lc6000 to go with my sc live 4. These ones with screens are much better but that can’t go into live 4

Apart from the big screen on SC6000, is there much difference between that and lc6000? Considering I’d be using with sc live 4.

To be honest part of me just wants to get the lc6000 to make my sc live 4 look more premium and if they perform ok I could do the odd 3 deck mix or even do regular 2 deck mixes, sometimes using actual live 4 decks and lc600 separately.

Any1 with experience with lc6000, is it possibly worth adding to sc live 4?

Even if maybe I’ll just use them for mixing instead of sc live 4 decks? Like maybe it will feel a bit different and make mixing a bit more fun.

Or maybe it’s a waste of £900

I did think about just buying 1 because doubt I’d use 4 anyway but I think it may look a bit odd.

Is there anything about the lc 6000 that my Denon sc live 4 decks can’t do?

Or maybe the jogs feel better on lc6000?

Any advice would be great.

Swapped my ddj 1000s for denon prime 4 best thing I did as alot more powerful and always have updates, much more future proof 👍

[BOBBYdigital]

I noticed you have the sc6000's hooked up to your prime 4. Do you like that setup better than them hooked up tp your x1850? I ask because i currently have a prime 4 and I'm buying a pair of sc6000 but debating on whether or not to get an x1850 or just connect them to my prime 4. I don't really use effects so would it be worth the upgrade or not really. I love how I can see both playing tracks on my one prime 4 screen, helps with transitions for me. I lose that if I get the x1850 mixer I think because the sc6000's show the playing tracks separately

So, I use turntables at home yet i do want at least one extra deck, and the DEnon looks interesting. So they hook up to a desktop PC seamlessly??
