Denon DJ MC3000 Professional DJ Controller

I researched controllers for 3 months before deciding to buy the Denon MC 3000! For me, this controller has everything I need to do a great show using either Virtual DJ or Traktor although I primarily use Virtual Dj! It has 8 cue points per channel while many other controllers only have 3-4 max. I preview every song and insert multiple cue points to give me options about where to mix in the song at depending on the crowd I'm playing for. I particularly love the buttons to select 4 samples per channel as I like to overlay my promo cuts and other DJ drops to add spice to the mix! My only criticism is that Denon decided to wire the 4 samples per channel together rather than allow a total of 8 samples accessible by these buttons. When you're selecting samples it doesn't matter which channel you select them from as they each have their own volume controls. You can , however, push the small sample selector button which pulls up the sample screen(VDJ) and, using the rotatable selector knob, access a total of 12 loaded samples!! Very cool!! So far I'm very impressed with this controller! While it only has 1 microphone input ( the Denon MC 6000 has 2 mike inputs) I chose it for its price point and transportability!! Oh, it's also built like a tank! Very high quality construction and great looks!!

After corresponding through e-mail they offered to RE SEND it and I have to pay HALF the shipping price!!!! I have already paid almost $100.00 for priority shipping. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY HALF THE SHIPPING ON A PRODUCT I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR AND PAID SHIPPING FOR!!!!!!!------------- Begin message -------------Hi Charlene, leaving negative feedbacks will gets things worse of what it is now, USPS office manager said, that pkg is in custom right now because sometimes they can't scan it because the label is twisted or the scanner doesn't get it at all it sounds wear but that it what they told us, we were willing to send you another one trough a faster an when you get that one just ship it back to us but now with a negative feedback our manager can't work anything out. We been with you since the beginning of this issue I know USPS socks but that is the cheaper way for customers to save some bucks, we are doing are best replying back to you all your emails on time and assisting you, Please let me know if you decide to take away or change the feedback and we ll ship to you another Denon MC3000, you just have to pay half of the shipping, it can be out on Monday if you want. Let me know.

The Mixer arrived at the expected time, completely function, good product, but the manufacturer should include an application can use it in its entirety and has no expiration date

I like

Gear envy has led me to this unit after cutting my teeth on an SCS.4DJ and flirting with some other controllers. If you invest in this mixer, be prepared to also invest in Virtual DJ Pro because you'll want to tweak some things via the button mapping options available only in pro. I love this unit's build quality, sound quality, awesome buttons and jog wheels. I'm also a big fan of the mirrored layout (unlike the MC6000).Buy with confidence if you like Virtual DJ or pick up it's little cousin MC2000 which comes with Serato intro. Personally, I'm a Virtual DJ guy and this controller is top.

I use this socially, not professionally, and have found it is reliable and has almost everything you could ask for in a small package. It is metal, not plastic, and is heavy. I wanted something with a small footprint that I could get comfortable with and this was perfect.

This product is awesome....when it works.PROS:Soundcard is LOUD!Can work with Traktor and VDJ. May work with other DJ Software but I haven't tried.Lots of input slots for every need.CONS:Loses MIDI contacts that is stops working.I posted a video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDX5UOYjLToNote: You have to be signed in to watch it. Basically only the mixer part works when that happens.I also tried many troubleshooting steps but to no avail. I even posted in the DenonDJ forums only to see a dead end.Here's the forum link: http://www.denondjforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=20158I could rate this higher because of the PROS but seeing that many owners have the same or similar issues with this model or even the MC2000 and MC6000, I am not satisfied with this product and it is now a big paper weight.
