yyeessssssss This situation makes a nervous pioneer! Buuuu :) Excellent machine! Load waveforms automatically! Excellent!!!!! I love DENON! GREAT WORK!! GREAT MODEL!!!
I do like the new Prime series. Good to see that Pioneer is finally facing a solid competitor. One question though: Why did you guys decide to go with green-white-blue VU meters?
It's a good competitor, but is there really anything NEW here? I may very well be missing something, but generally seems about the same as a NXS2, but adds independent filters and loses the ability to apply effects to just low / mid / highs.. That's great as both are great mixers, but is it enough to force clubs / people to switch? Doesn't seem like it...
You don't make a new club standard by adding new features, you just do existing ones a little bit better that the competition. ;) Denon learned that the hard way with previous products that had a bunch of new features but still failed to break into dj booths. People like simplified things, that's why they loved Pioneer (so far).
And a small correction: ability to apply effects to a specific freq band is there. It's a knob instead of three buttons. Both ways have it's advantages, think about it.
