The cross fader is frankly substandard compared with both Pioneer and Allen and Heath, both of which I have owned and loved. The main one is the ridiculous oversensitivity of the gain control when you get it close to 0db and the delay on the level indicator is poor too. Going back to the bundle, there are some major flaws with the mixer too in my opinion.
#TRAKTOR PRO 3 UPDATE 2020 PORTABLE#
I’ve been thinking of buying the prime 2 for portable use but I’m really not struck on the idea of another failed purchase. I remember having a big argument with a couple of denon fan boys that seemed to think that prime was the dogs danglies so I made the switch and now feel like I’m stuck with a system that feels alien despite trying to adapt. I have to say I’ve regretted the switch so far and with no proper support for my favourite program and an unintuitive and difficult user interface on the sc5000 I feel I’ve dropped a major clanger.

The level of innovation and technological advancement is certainly out on it’s own but the quality control and overall user experience is somewhat lacking. I decided to go all out and change from pioneer to denon and the quality control seems to be a big issue. Just to make matters worse I bought an MCX8000 and that had a faulty power pack straight out of the box and then the replacement had a flickering left screen and freeze issues. From struggling with different makes of flash drives to slow and unresponsive screen loading and file type recognition. I bought the SC5000 X1800 bundle and it’s been glitchy to say the least. To be perfectly honest I’ve been somewhat disgruntled with Denon after an unhappy switch from Pioneer with many faults and issues from supposedly brand new gear. Apologies if this has already been answered but when are Denon going to support Traktor as it’s still popular and my personal preference?
