The last challenge is very unfair imo. If you would've used a Pioneer standalone like the RX models the results would have been comparable

I said this before. Engine DJ can only improve and get better. They will need to if they want to license their software to other DJ companies. We know since the parent company of Pioneer DJ now owns Serato the writing is on the wall for Hardware based DJ companies.

engine dj is beetter for me sorry .

There’s certain functions that I love on my Engine OS controller that I can’t find on Pioneer’s, my favorite being song preview. I love being able to quickly click around with a touchscreen and preview a song. Pioneer fans always cope and say “you just need to know the music mannnn” but if I have a massive library, I’d like to actually get a good idea of what the song sounds like before loading it. It’s just an important part of how I mix now, and I hate that Pioneer hasn’t added anything like that. I don’t like “it is the way it is” mentality, so behind the times with technology Pioneer is.

First things first …. Rekordbox is not even close the best DVS software - maybe in the future after the purchase of Serato. They can rip all technology they are put in on rekordbox. But to say it’s the best is a joke …. Maybe popular cause there are so many new DJs everyday and they don’t know anything … mainly because misleading statements by post like this and Pioneer saying that their gear and tech is superior

id like to know what DJS have told you enginedj is good but its shamefull i own denon prime 4 while the equipment is pretty good the software lacks MASSIVELY its needs work and lot of it.

I'm a Denon DJ and I feel your contest was fair. Smart playlists were only recently added to Engine Desktop and they're not particularly useful. What I love on my Prime 4 is improvising - using a combination of playlists and keys, and then auditioning songs by tapping them to decide which track to play next. Choosing my songs on the fly is something I could never do with my previous setups and I just love this freedom.

Recently switched from a DDJ400 to Prime Go. I still use Rekordbox for analysis, hot cues and library management. Engine OS on Prime Go then imports the rekordbox data. Most of the times grid needs fixing but if you get used to it it doesn’t take more than 10 seconds. This way I’m still using the superior rekordbox software to be “club standard” ready, but still enjoy the freedom of a great affordable and portable standalone system.

Why did you buy a product before checking it out. Duh! Wobbly pads and knobs should have been noticed BEFOREHAND.

Pioneer is PC / Denon is Mac

I love the great DJ info you provide on this channel, but it's the humor that always has me coming back. Keep it going man. This is the best.

That was good, lol. And as an Engine DJ user, I totally agree. RekordBox computer software eats Engine's computer software for lunch. But, it is coming along. Painfully slow, but getting there.

Engine is moving so fast they are probably watching this right now and already about to ship improvements for all your feedback in 2 months available as an OS update I can download over wifi directly onto the decks.

Ok the other hand you can analyze streaming playlists ON YOUR DECK on the fly with engine, and then adjust the beatgrid on it etc. which is pretty killer if you want to play a song off SoundCloud etc you haven’t prepped

I have both RX3 and P4 (also the Go, which I'm using it 95% of the time actually) and I have to say that RX3 feels, moves and sound like an outdated junk toy compared to any of the Primes. Yes, Rb might have tons of mods (I actually find VDJ much more well rounded for both prep & performance), but in real life 99% of the time I use Engine desktop just to batch analyse then the editing itself (cuepoints/loops) is straight on the player/Engine OS.

Can’t believe this content is free. By FAR the best DJ content/tutorials on KZread. Thank you Chris :) ❤️

I've been running the engine environment for a long time now (v1.5) and I have to say that the things you highlight are pretty spot on.

Well, now Engine Dj got Match functionality. Take that!

Your (intentional lack of) personality makes your dry sense of humour shine through. You are the Karl Pilkington of the Dj community and I’m here for it! ❤ Awesome content and massively helpful. Gained a loyal subscriber mate, keep it up! 🤟

I love that the game OUTRUN is playing in the background
