The Denon DJ MCX8000 is one of the most exciting DJ controller to have come along for a long time, being highly featured, having built-in screens, and coming with two software systems - Serato DJ and Engine. Following on from our main Denon DJ MCX8000 review, today I have a video talkthrough and tutorial looking in more detail at how it works with Serato DJ.

Another great video Phil. Thanks for all your contributions to the DJ community.

@digitaldjtips 8 лет назад

Thank you Todd!

@Digital DJ Tips If you go to your Engine mode on the MCX8000 choose your usb drive.Click the first selection which is "ALL". Then you can choose to sort by title bpm range key or artist album and genre.

@digitaldjtips 7 лет назад

Thanks for that!

I learned a lot a year ago with this beautiful and I’m here again because I’m having problems to make my music work from the serato, I just wanted to say thank you for this great video

Denon just put the bar to high, this controller is fantastic, it have it all.

@brianthomaston 8 лет назад

I personally like to use the pitch sync, and when the one track drops, turn it off right as the vocals come in. It seems to make for an almost natural sounding key change.

@digitaldjtips 8 лет назад

Nice one Brian!

I'm having problems with my Reloop TM8, I'm going to try to get it fixed but have had my eye on this unit since it's release. When I upgrade it will definitely need to be a unit that is a standalone mixer. Would this Denon be a solid choice?

@discobole 8 лет назад

hi phi,i own a ddj sx2 but i want to upgrade to a sz or a numark ns73 do i have to download serato dj for either one these controllers or can i just use the existing serato dj on my laptop already?

@mbdjmemo Год назад

Hey Phil, in regards to the mcx8000, it is worth buying it in 2023? Do Engine 3.0.0 available / compatible to mcx8000? I'm asking because GC show that they have one (open box) available for $1,299.00 Or should I keep waiting for Denon DJ Prime 4?

@ProDiscoDJ 6 лет назад

Hello Phil, I am debating between the Pionner DDJ-SX2 and the Denon MCX8000. While the decision is ultimately mine, I really respect your knowledge and experience. If you were to choose, which controller as a mobile DJ would you select as your new controller. Perhaps this could be the basis for your next video (pro and con of both). Thanking you in advance for the excellent videos you produce. Respectfully, Marcos Miami, Fl

@digitaldjtips 6 лет назад

Hey Marcos, they're honestly both solid controllers. The 8000 is powerful, but pretty big.. Here's our full thoughts on the SX2: www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-ddj-sx2/

@djfox7480 6 лет назад

I'm curious did you get the denon or pioneer, I'm debating right now the same, guitar center had this out and it awesome but I'm worried about the reliability of it.

Despite the prices and brand what's better Denon MCX8000 or Pioneer DDJ RZX?

@digitaldjtips 7 лет назад

We haven't fully reviewed the RZX yet so hard to say - but it really comes down to if you want to use Serato DJ/Engine (Denon) or Rekordbox DJ (RZX). Also the RZX would be better if you want to do any video :)

@jacoposementilli5348 3 года назад

I'm actually looking for a full set-up (2cdj+mixer) in an all-in-one console. I'm pondering over this one as I feel I can have a pro gear and be ready if I have to perform over 2 cdjs. Nevertheless, it is very hard to come by nowadays. Would you guys suggest anything like that? I am not a big fan of a 1-monitor-standalone console. What could actually be another great counterpart of the denon mcx8000? thx

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

Unless I'm forgetting one I don't believe there is a single standalone in the market that has dual screens

@jdutch 3 года назад

Check Ebay, I picked one up a cpl weeks ago for $650. There are others in that range

@Gyrbae 8 лет назад

I'm a complete f'king noob when it comes to Serato, so I must ask: Once I buy the DVS expansion and set it up, do I still need to have Serato open (ie. computer while playing live) to use control vinyls to control the MCX8000?

@stnkpalm 8 лет назад

Yes. DVS is a Serato feature not a standalone feature. You could play a real record through the MCX mixer section without the computer but control vinyl will not allow you to scratch an MP3 from your thumbdrive.

@Gyrbae 8 лет назад

Todd Barber Thanks for the help, that clears a lot!

Phil I can pick up a demo unit that's being sold for 497 US, is this a good buy or stay away from it? (recognizing it is now 4 years old and counting...)

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

That's a tough one, I always preferred the 7000 to the 8000 and demo units have often been bashed around but that's also a pretty cheap price. If it was my money I'd look at something else

@geebee44 3 года назад

@@digitaldjtips you're right. The unit is missing the power supply and all fader knobs. Thanks

@myflowbeats 4 года назад

Can it be used with Serato DJ or only Serato DJ Pro?

@digitaldjtips 4 года назад

The MCX8000 will unlock Serato DJ Pro when you plug it in so use that version

@jrloeb9077 7 лет назад

Has anyone figured out if you can sort by a key or BPM on standalone? Thanks!

If you go to your Engine mode on the MCX8000 choose your usb drive.Click the first selection which is "ALL". Then you can choose to sort by title bpm range key or artist album and genre.

Digital DJ Tips there was no software in the box. I downloaded many times the software 1.9.0 1.9.5 but nothing

You'll want to talk to Serato or Denon DJ/inMusic support directly and see what's up

@kaplozal 8 лет назад

How good is this compared to the Pioneer DDJ-SZ

@kaplozal 8 лет назад

Ahhh cool thanks, Why I asked is because I know Denon is a decent brand as well, and it appears to be in similar class to the "SZ" which made me ask the question, and it is considerably cheaper.

@AssPunk2 8 лет назад

Pioneer make people buy controllers every year and a half, with this you have a controller for a very long time

@kaplozal 8 лет назад

I don't even know what to say about Gemini...

@sfmzg 8 лет назад

You can't compare it IMO. MCX has standalone mode. That alone puts it above SZ. If the SZ was cheaper then the MCX, you could argue that it's better to buy the SZ and save some money if you don't really need the standalone mode (but when you laptop/serato craps out on a gig you'll remember MCX). On the other hand, SZ has dual soundcards - if you do B2B sets with your friends all the time that has advantages...

Honestly they're both awesome, but the Pioneer might be better if you're looking to try Rekordbox DJ out and/or use the club gear. If you're looking to be a mobile DJ, then the Denon might be a better choice :)
