#denon controller

The analogy of cars always come into play when I consider what goes into making a DJ product.  For starters, there are the designers who take an idea and make it come to life – but not before the researchers and scientists do their job of making sure it will all play nice together.  To have an idea go from concept to something real in a short matter of time takes a lot of effort and a lot of money in the process.  I think this is why it is better to keep revising a model of a car than to create a new one every month.  It would also make parts for it impossible to interchange if you started with a different basis.

If I were the check the houses of every DJ I know, I am guaranteed to find a few provisions and controllers laying around that once had their purpose, yet are now collecting dust in the corner.  A good majority of these tools would likely not be turntables or mixers, but likely controllers.  Controllers are the only thing that I would not have a problem with buying and selling.  Why is that?  Well, controllers may look good in a picture and in the head, but using them reveals many flaws.  Sometimes buttons are placed in the wrong spot or they fail to exist altogether. Other times, the controller is just too plain to keep up with the complexity of modern times.  This is the case with Denon’s first Serato controller.  On the surface, it looked great.  It gave you the buttons you needed minus everything else.  Some people didn’t like being boxed into a stuck device, so they branched out – but so did Denon.  Their second version of this controller includes functioning decks, and it does it in an incredibly small package.  If you have seen a VCI from Vestax and a NS7 from Numark, you’ll know what I mean about size differences. http://djworx.com/review-denon-dj-mc6000-mk2-serato-controller/#.UxjYLfldW1C
