![]() Since writing the original reviews, Denon DJ has released firmware that allows rekordbox USBs to be converted directly on the SC5000 Prime.Shame about the initial downbeat bug though. Analysis performance however is blisteringly fast, and the flexible beat grids in particular excellent.No shift drag, just one folder or list at a time. Working with media is equally frustrating.Creating from scratch is better but still lacking fundamental features like smart crates, that have been found in established software for years.Importing from iTunes and Serato proved anger inducingly problematic and inconsistent, to the point of numerous wipes of iTunes, Serato DJ, and Engine Prime to start over with clean slates.Plans change, especially coming up to trade shows.įor the curious about the software, here’s a toned down nutshell version: And with NAMM being “literally days away” too, I suspect the new software will appear around that time. But the last “literally days away” was a full month ago. My house burglary/car theft along with the birth of Lucy, Dan’s new daughter did impact rather heavily on the following months.
