I absolutely love mine! I’ve been using it everyday at my home Gym. I mix a song in between each set. I also plug it into my car and DJ during road trips! Such a fun and convenient device.
Great post.... I use extensively the prime go now because now I converted from a DJ to a artist...... With the prime go's unlimited resources of music and with my original music catalog I can play seamlessly.. stress free.... And I can hook up 2.sets of dual wireless mics.... And just roll.... I perform concert style events.... 2-3 times a month even thru the pandemic... and it was a problem lugging equipment.... Now with the stress off... Everything is a breeze... With this I can do a 55 minute concert at 4-5 the rate of a 4-6 hour DJ gig with 1 tenth of the gear... This is a home run.... Keep the great posts going sir!!!!... Mr. Vinegar
I've used this to rock a 300+ beach party for at least 5 hours! Had some usb misread hiccups with an SD conversion cable, and we didn't have our tracks analyzed before but it all worked out! Thing is a BEAST
@@mangadolo You need a computer to run the tracks through Denon's software to analyze the tracks. Also the Prime Go can self-analyze the tracks. It takes longer though. Denon is definitely ahead of the competition.
I love this unit. I took it to the Dominican Republic in February. I had to do 2 live events out there and it was very convenient. loaded with 2 2TB HDs I had all of the music I needed plus Tidal and the other services. It's exactly what CT says. no fuss 5 minute set up. Plus I also fooled around creating mixes on the plane. With this unit, I can go anywhere around the globe and do a show. All I need is internet of a minimum 0f 10MEG upload speed, audio only 30Meg for video....If there is anything I would like to change is the looping and the buttons Cleveland talked about. I would like more control on the loops because older tracks like Disco for instance, are not even with the beat grid on the display. On the SC6000, I can do that and have a perfect loop for a mix. Other than that, Prime GO gets and A+....You can push to see who much music these units can handle before you see lag in loading. I pushed it to 6TB with a mix of WAV and MP3. Probably more TBs if you only do MP3 @ 320kbps for good sound quality.....the bigger the file the more time it takes to load. The smaller the HD, the faster it works. If you're mostly a house DJ, this will work for you....
Thank you!!!!! Great follow up. This is why your channel is awesome. Your are a working DJ who can actually explain why kit is good or bad in the real world. Most other DJ gear review channels lack this aspect. Thank you for your hard work and diligence.
Great and thanks for the honesty on that device. Denon's equipment is always built for the professional and I've had several of their Pro DJ devices and still love their X600 2 channel mixer and the only regret, it wasn't Serato supported but I digress. Looking at this video and seeing that the battery warning came on answers your question about lasting for your 3 events. That's awesome. Thank you sir, always enjoy your videos and your professional take on each piece of equipment you review.
That's a great review, thank you Terry, I love the portability of this machine, no laptop needed to, and the hidden editing power. and just about to purchase one. :@)
I currently use the Prime 2. Like you, I felt as though the jog wheels are to sensitive. Since you mentioned using the Pitch Bend I’ve given it a try. And yep - I definite like the Pitch Blend. My only issue with the Prime series is the lack of a sampler. I hope Denon can add this feature with a system update. Great video!
Terry, First, I recently started watching your channel and really enjoyed the contents of your channel. I was mainly drawn by your channel for the video quality with your clear and honest explinations of your review of dj gear. It's because of you, my wife wants to kick me out the house because any gear that I see that looks great and you giving it your seal of approval, I'm basically sold. I'm not a working dj anymore. This is basically my hobby in my basement. With a family and full-time job, I was never able to really pursue anything as a dj except side gigs or small corporate events through working djs who basically needed coverage. After over 20 years, I can still say, I still have love for the craft especially with so many new gear coming out, its keeps that love for the music endless possibility to mix,, I'm like a kid in a candy store. The second thing is, after this review, I'm buying this unit!! My only problem is..how do I sneak it passed the guards.. My kids will sell me out in heartbeat especially with any package that's left at the front door.
i purchase the denon prime go i love the machine Learning how to DJ just starting out mixing music get the party started after covid is over... got a pair of qsc K8.2...shure beta 58a microphone, Audio technical msr7 headphones ...
For requests or songs I don't have on my HDD... I download them on my phone and auto sync that folder on my Dropbox so it straight away appears on my Prime2!!!! Been 7 months and still enjoying it alot!! Can't wait to get prime Go for small parties!!
I do play by play and music for HS sports, I have been extremely busy in the last month. just about every other day. Yjis unit has made my life soooo much easier! On one occaasion I had two games in one day in two different locations. I have a 64gig flash drive and SD card and I use Dropbox for premade crates for each sport. LOve this unit!!
I just wish it didn't have the jog wheels and was even a little smaller. I'm looking for something like this without jog wheels. if I wanna scratch i use a turntable n vinyl
I’ve used mine every Friday outdoors since September 2020. Love it but having to use a personal hotspot there for Tidal makes it very frustrating when the songs load so slow. Sometimes need to switch to my personal library when time is running low which throws off some music choice flow. It’s unlike my home wi-fi when songs load rather instantly. Other than the things that can be made improved through software updates I don’t have any other gripes. Fun to use.
Have you faced any issues with either the channel or volume fader? I keep hearing that there is a fader bleed issue which persists and is somewhat worrisome.
I agree I have had mine about 2 months I use mine for live streams and small set up’s this alongside my sc6000s is the best gear I have owned the jogs on the go are annoying and the no adjustable screen is disappointing but by no means devalues the device and there is currently nothing else like it on the market.
If you had to choose between the Denon Prime go and the Roland DJ 707M although its apples and oranges, this is my dilemma because they are in the same price point, super portable and quick set up for my particular use case. Great video by the way.
I love this controller - it's not perfect and there are still some quirks and bugs in it and i'm not entirely sure I would trust it for my more professional gigs (I've seen issues with losing controls and the 1.6 update causes some issues with the master out), but especially during the pandamic it's been one of the pieces of gear that gave me the most joy. Taking it to the park along with my Reloop Spin last summer was just awesome. Also "hospital chains" jesus - the US really needs health care reform...
(alchemistrpm) Haha what’s up dj soo. I was looking at this thinking about getting a standalone deck to get into djing. I shouldn’t be surprised to find you here
I've been using it for a few weeks now, constantly using the streaming services. I was DJing at a very packed bar for the boxing heavyweight title. I found that the download speed of my prime go severely slowed down in a very very busy environment. I was using hotspot through my Samsung s10. Everything went back to normal speed when the bar emptied out. There must be some interference when there's a lot of phones in use
Great post as always, I have been using the denon MC4000 now for a while for small gigs, well over 2 years now, it really came in handy after covid hit since gigs became smaller. I had been thinking about this unit but was worried about the software. I may have to take a look into this one as an upgrade. Good lookin out!!
So I have a work around for the mics not having EQ on the Prime Go. I bought a Yamaha MG06 6 channel analog mixer. It was $137, so I know that’s an extra cost, but, It has two switchable mic/line inputs with high and low EQ on each of those channels. You can run the two channel in stereo or mono. I am going to run them in stereo with the left/channel 1 output going to mic 1 input on the Prime Go and the right/channel 2 output to the mic 2 input of the Prime Go. This will at least give me high and low EQ on both mics. I have a Goal Zero power bank that has a 110 outlet that I can run the Yamaha MG06 AC adapter off of if I need to be totally wireless.
Great video.I believe the prime go is a incredible controller I'm on the verge of purchasing it despite the fact it was released a year ago but what's holding me back is denon may release a prime go 2 in the summer
I just used mine after it sitting in a closet for nearly two years. I spent 20-30 mins before and after my sets showing off to the other DJs what this little box can do. Personally, my only complaint is not being able to use Google Drive/Workspace.
The download "all" part of streaming tracks allows you to completely lose wifi and the whole song will still be in memory... a real bonus... you dont start a track that will drop out half way ++++
As someone just getting started in djing, would you recommend the Prime Go? I like the Prime Go because of the 7" display, hoping that I'll be able to see it. My challenge is that I'm almost blind. Didn't want to get into the dj controllers because they rely on my ability to interact with a laptop. Laptops are just too small for me to interact with it effectively. That's why I use a 27" external monitor in my home studio. Ihere you and others talk about the Prime Go as a back up system. I think I'd be happy working weddings and parties where this smaller set up might work. Your thoughts are appreciated.
I love the machine however I just noticed it doesn’t have a performance mode with Denon DJ software on the computer so it’s either online or standalone mode. Is that correct?
I'm about to buy my first standalone DJ mixer and I'm heavily doubting between the Prime GO and the Pioneer XDJ-RR. Same price range (1000 bucks). I want it for djing at some parties and clubs, which one would you guys recommend??
Great job. I put a usb drive in the back but how do you search for music? I tried but it doesn’t show up. Also, how do you load a bunch of songs from one list at the same time?
Great content yet again! Me and a mate play a couple of gigs a month at a local brewery/bar. All vinyl sets that last around 6 hours. I’ve been looking at a way to introduce a digital component..yet we’re late to the party. I have a technics/pioneer 750 mk2 set up. I was wondering if this is something I could add to channel 3 and start adding to sets? We’re a little put off by the idea of adding laptop and separate controller but this unit looks small enough to not take away from the vinyl set up feel that people seem to love? Sorry, not the most tech savvy, but engine looks like a little easier entry point that rekordbox. Cheers! Pete
Considering this one over the mixstream, yes it’s more expensive but I’m a mobile dj that needs performance with a lightweight design, yes I still use virtual dj im hoping this will be compatible
Small complaints, the main faders are stern to move, and could have had 2 USB ports I’m extremely excited that it charges, i have a battery+wired&Bluetooth unit coming for 100% ready to use portability, & midnight festival sets
Hi there, Im writing to you because I am having an issue with my denon prime go. I bought the the prime go back in 2022. It is still a great unit. Sadly I am having audio drop outs whenever I am moving the fader on deck 2 the right side. Been having this issue for a couple months now and now it is annoying me. Have you had this issue before with your prime go. if so, what did you do to fix it? please let me know. Meanwhile im deciding to go buy the denon prime 4+ or just go back to serato while the prime go gets fixed. Thanks bro.
Sorry to intrude on a different video, but hope it gets better visibility. For a starter in the controller world ( am familiar with vinyl ) would you advice the ddj 1000 ( rekordbox ) or the DDj 1000 srt ( Serato )
Would you recommend this for beginners? Or should I be looking at the Numark Mixstream Pro or even something simpler like Pioneer DDJ200, Reloop Buddy or Ready, etc.
The roland is a 4 channel, mixer. The prime go is a 2 channel mixer. So it depends on if you need a 4 channel or a two channel. You can't go wrong owning the prime go. I would keep my 707 and add the prime go, It's so versatile. I have the prime 4 and i have the prime go for all my smaller sound events. Like grand openings, corporate happy hours, ceremony part of weddings were i set up a sound system in another room. And when ceremony is over i can just store my prime go and move to the reception room and start on my prime 4. I play at the zoo, i play sporting events so the prime go is perfect for those type of events.
I just got mine and the fx on button seems really stiff compared to the mic 1 and 2 on buttons. Can anyone who has one tell me if thats how it's supposed to be? Thanks anyone who replies.
Cleveland Terry i also have and event where i ran into that problem but easy fix i had a smart phone and a rca to 3.5 and played sounds i didn't have for Amazon Music or TH-cam Music source i am subcribed to your channel i'm also a local DJ in my City hope this will help..
Not sure I'm with you on the slip roll part. Maybe it's just down to my style, but I'd much rather have the shorter rolls easily accessible. About the only time I use loop rolls is 1/2 to add double kicks, or rolling through 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 to create a drum roll. I can't see much value in slip rolls above those values. loops, sure, but not slip rolls. I dunno maybe that has something to do with my genre selection and mixing style (fast and aggressive for both).
No. You need an external soundcard connected to one of your outputs, like Master, in the external then to your laptop. i use it that way when I do my weekly show when i'm using the Prime Go.
it looks a bit too big and heavy...i want Akai and Pioneer to come with a portable setup...I recently got a new Akai AMX/AFX ! now if they made a controller similar to Reloop Ready that would be great
Love my prime go but does need some improvements ...still has some glitches ...needs two usbs slots ....needs preview on streaming and recommended tracks .....
I've read that the Prime Go is not suitable for a club (in contrast to the advertising that suggests that) and about issues with sound quality. Your opinion on this? Thx & Bye
I have no issues with sound quality. The mics don't have eqs so that might be the issue with sound quality. However, I wouldn't use a prime go for club use.
If using the unit with a USB thumb drive to upload your music..can I also play this unit by hooking it up to a laptop and play music from your laptop..?? And what software to use?
your chanel should have more sub and more attention. always good content and creative. yours is my most favorite chanel, not someone with paid by "industry standard" shit to talk over and over again.
@@djerniet350 are you forced to use engine prime, or can i just dump a few hundred wavs onto a card and let the prime go analyse them, then set the cue points up for each song in the prime go?
Excellent re-review. Very useful giving viewers an on-the-go hands-on experience. As an old schooler who learnt on twin-CD players (do you still have these in your store?), I use pitch bend buttons always, it gives the right amount of nudge.....
I absolutely love mine! I’ve been using it everyday at my home Gym. I mix a song in between each set. I also plug it into my car and DJ during road trips! Such a fun and convenient device.
Great ideas and better than mixing on ur fone and driving; )

hi!, i have a question for you.. What kind of misread do you have?. it is something fatal? its something that you could live with it?
After using Denon's standalone gear. I have no desire or need to use any software related gear. 😊
So if I buy that Denon standalone, I’ll still need a computer to transfer my mp3 tracks into it right? Can I use an iPad with that Denon instead?

Love the review bro. Does the Wave form need to appear Vertiacally or can be horizontal too?
it relieved a lot of stress lol i know man this dj thing is only stressful nowadays great job man
Great review!! I can see how it is a good DJ system for on the go!
Can you do a beginner training video series with the Prime Go with the new 2.0 software?
I’ve used mine every Friday outdoors since September 2020. Love it but having to use a personal hotspot there for Tidal makes it very frustrating when the songs load so slow.

Thanks for your great video. Does things like the offline locker of Beatport work with the engine OS on the controller as well?

Meanwhile im deciding to go buy the denon prime 4+ or just go back to serato while the prime go gets fixed. Thanks bro.
I just wish you could hook up a tablet so there's a bigger screen. Sometimes looking down hurts my back after a while.
Sorry to intrude on a different video, but hope it gets better visibility.
For a starter in the controller world ( am familiar with vinyl ) would you advice the ddj 1000 ( rekordbox ) or the DDj 1000 srt ( Serato )
I have videos on both of them. Search them with my name.
@@ClevelandTerry will check, but as someone with experience, which would you recommend?
Bigger jog wheels and on board speakers like the numark mixstream pro standalone would make this great for the DJ enthusiast.
Would you recommend this for beginners? Or should I be looking at the Numark Mixstream Pro or even something simpler like Pioneer DDJ200, Reloop Buddy or Ready, etc.
Do we have the option to record are mixes with the prime go ?
Yes.
Awesome review! I’m thinking about trading in my roland 707m and getting the prime go.....thoughts?
The roland is a 4 channel, mixer. The prime go is a 2 channel mixer. So it depends on if you need a 4 channel or a two channel. You can't go wrong owning the prime go. I would keep my 707 and add the prime go, It's so versatile. I have the prime 4 and i have the prime go for all my smaller sound events. Like grand openings, corporate happy hours, ceremony part of weddings were i set up a sound system in another room. And when ceremony is over i can just store my prime go and move to the reception room and start on my prime 4. I play at the zoo, i play sporting events so the prime go is perfect for those type of events.
When using the sides of the jog wheels all you have to do is deactivate vinyl
That’s one way but it’s also an added step. The pitch bend works best for me.
I just got mine and the fx on button seems really stiff compared to the mic 1 and 2 on buttons. Can anyone who has one tell me if thats how it's supposed to be? Thanks anyone who replies.
Cleveland Terry i also have and event where i ran into that problem but easy fix i had a smart phone and a rca to 3.5 and played sounds i didn't have for Amazon Music or TH-cam Music source i am subcribed to your channel i'm also a local DJ in my City hope this will help..
Not sure I'm with you on the slip roll part. Maybe it's just down to my style, but I'd much rather have the shorter rolls easily accessible. About the only time I use loop rolls is 1/2 to add double kicks, or rolling through 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 to create a drum roll.
I can't see much value in slip rolls above those values. loops, sure, but not slip rolls. I dunno maybe that has something to do with my genre selection and mixing style (fast and aggressive for both).
Everyone uses them differently. I love sliproll but I’m also coming from a turntable background with instant doubles etc.
@@ClevelandTerry that's fair enough mate, I'm honestly not sure which is the more common use case out of the two.
Can you Connect it to a Bluetooth speaker?
Thanks for the update! Question... can this connect to a computer and be recognized as a sound card? In OBS directly?
It unfortunately can not.
@@ClevelandTerry Bummer. That would be a fantastic feature!
No. You need an external soundcard connected to one of your outputs, like Master, in the external then to your laptop. i use it that way when I do my weekly show when i'm using the Prime Go.
I love mine but I lose power around the the 3 hour mark. Is that normal?
Batteries age but it can be replaced.
it looks a bit too big and heavy...i want Akai and Pioneer to come with a portable setup...I recently got a new Akai AMX/AFX ! now if they made a controller similar to Reloop Ready that would be great
Does engine OS on this have stems yet?
No. Not yet.
What is an event that is 1 hour?
I’m waiting for the go mk2
Love my prime go but does need some improvements ...still has some glitches ...needs two usbs slots ....needs preview on streaming and recommended tracks .....
The effects increases the volume
I love my Denon Go
Do you know if it's possible to use a extern powerbank to push the battery playtime?
Yes you can plug the Prime Go into mains power and use it for longer events. I love mine.
You can use a portable ac powerbank or generator.
Or you can plug it in.
I've read that the Prime Go is not suitable for a club (in contrast to the advertising that suggests that) and about issues with sound quality. Your opinion on this? Thx & Bye
I have no issues with sound quality. The mics don't have eqs so that might be the issue with sound quality. However, I wouldn't use a prime go for club use.
Great video CT. I love my Go, you’re spot on about the jogs though. I’m still battling with those fine adjustments on them.
Terry can this unit be hooked up to any Bluetooth speaker
There is no bluetooth in this device. You would need to use a bluetooth transmitter in order to make it work.
@@ClevelandTerry Thanks Terry. Can you recommend 1?
Ik zou het heel fijn vinden als Deezer kon gebruiken waar blijven die????
If using the unit with a USB thumb drive to upload your music..can I also play this unit by hooking it up to a laptop and play music from your laptop..?? And what software to use?
You can not play through your computer. It uses engine os.
You can not play through your computer. It uses engine os.
Love mine so much
I know a couple of people that can do a REDBULL set with that thing. but good video . that little box is amazing. Great work by Denon.
your chanel should have more sub and more attention. always good content and creative. yours is my most favorite chanel, not someone with paid by "industry standard" shit to talk over and over again.
Is this compatible with SDP ?
No
Do you have software like rekordbox where you can load songs to your sd card and usb?
You have to use the Engine prime software. It's like rekordbox but it is Denon's Software created for the Prime series players.
@@djerniet350 are you forced to use engine prime, or can i just dump a few hundred wavs onto a card and let the prime go analyse them, then set the cue points up for each song in the prime go?
@@dorsetengineering yes you can use the card and set cue points on the prime go.
@@dorsetengineering it also recognises rekordbox Analysed songs
@@RathOX I don't use rekordbox at the moment, but it's good to know that it can recognise them
Yeah i actually just returned this today it’s not for me
Excellent re-review. Very useful giving viewers an on-the-go hands-on experience.
As an old schooler who learnt on twin-CD players (do you still have these in your store?), I use pitch bend buttons always, it gives the right amount of nudge.....
1210 > CDJ2000 > DDJ1000 > Prime 2 > Prime Go. I found my love child. Size matters and I love the portability
