#SERATO VS TRAKTOR UPGRADE#

I love the chassis design - it’s like a slab of metal with knobs on. The various regions start to differentiate themselves from each other via the bright buttons, but we’ll get to those later. Out of the box, the MC6000MK2 is a slab controls and a temple of monochrome, but it’s when you plug it in that it all begins to make proper sense. Things are generally lined up in the way they should be, albeit it a little cramped. It’s typical Denon - lots of stuff thrown into the faceplate. But this is a small and complex controller. I’ve used lots of small basic controllers, as well as lots of larger complex controllers.

if not, then upgrade to Serato DJ to use all that the MC6000 MK2 has to offer. Recommendation - try Serato DJ Intro and see if it fits your needs. Why are you buying a four channel controller to only use two of those channels? It’s an extra $129 on top, but will do the MC6000 MK2 justice. So right from the start, I’m recommending upgrading to Serato DJ, and that’s how I’ve done the review. You can run 2 channels in Intro, and perhaps run to external sources through the other 2 channels, but you don’t get the same level of effects, and can’t use video. An introductory note about the softwareĪs a four channel controller with video, the supplied Serato DJ Intro works, but really doesn’t do this unit justice.

Is it worthy of an upgrade if you own the original? Let’s find out. So the differences are for the pure betterment of the original, as well as bringing it in line with Serato DJ’s expanding repertoire. Pitch sliders on the MK2 unit have been re-positioned to lower outside left and right of platters Control(s) layout has been more ergonomically tidied with focus on a smoother more efficient DJ user experience when playing live Physical dimensions of both the Mk1 and MK2 are identical though general finish and feel of the MK2 has had attention.

Internal sound card on the MK2 model has a significant improvement over the Mk1, offering D/A conversion of supreme quality To improve ‘error-free’ deck selection, the MC6000MK2 has four independent (as opposed to the Mk1’s two, dual switching) deck selector buttons
