Denon DJ has announced a new Engine DJ software update with version 2.4. The latest update brings some new key features and improvements to the Operating System (OS) and Desktop. New Main FX for Denon DJ Hardware - over 25 new and enhanced FX (many of the same FX featured on the RANE FOUR) Want to take your unit with you to play an occasional gig in a small local bar or lounge? It’s “pro” enough in both looks and features to do that, and in that instance, the Lighting features can be set up to work with standard DMX lighting, and you can then use the built-in speakers as “booth” monitors, which will be a boon for DJs who play in venues where the monitoring is poor or non-existent. All good… except the screen

That’s good news for the consumer as it makes for a healthier marketplace and a lower barrier to entry for advanced DJ features in an easy-to-move device. The Live family fills the void of capable intermediate equipment running Engine DJ OS as there are now entry-level, intermediate and professional products available. Worth pointing out that there is no SATA drive bay as with some of the Prime gear; that said, you can fit so much on a decent SD card nowadays that I don’t think it’s a big omission. The touchscreen You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The OS also updates over the air via wi-fi rather than via a USB which is the norm on other gear. Convenience really is a key ingredient of the SC Live range!The SC LIVE 2 is designed for club-style performances and offers a range of advanced features that allow DJs to express their creativity. The device features a range of performance pads, including Hot Cue, Roll, Slice, and Loop, which can be used to create dynamic performances. The mixer section includes a 3-band EQ and filter controls, as well as a range of effects, including Echo, Reverb, and Flanger. We have reviewed many Engine DJ systems over the years, and all you need to know here is that Engine DJ gets better and better, and is the most powerful standalone OS for DJ gear by some way. And the good news is you get pretty much the whole experience here. What you can do on the most expensive Denon DJ Prime Engine-equipped gear, you can do on the SC Live 4 and 2. Engine DJ OS now includes Engine Lighting : built-in control for performance visuals. Creating ambience on a live stream or at a live event has now been made effortless! The powerful, built-in speakers offer the perfect sound solution for livestreaming, practicing, content creation, and personal monitoring during live shows. The dedicated volume knob and on/off switch offers full control to meet the needs of any gig, making it easy for DJs to bring the booth with them wherever their career takes them.

The Engine 3.1 update offers DJs freedom like they’ve never had before, from interactive touch FX to creating your own unique Smartlist. Club-style mixer layout with two channels with Sweep FX and 13 BPM FX that can be selected and assigned to any channel An all-in-one, portable and compact party machine, the Denon DJ SC Live 2 is a useful tool for any DJ requiring a small, easily transportable controller they can use in a limited space. With a huge range of essential DJing functions and many innovative features that make mixing easier, the SC Live 2 is a user-friendly and accessible standalone DJ controller. This controller is suitable for use in a club or in a home setting. Enhanced music library Still “pro” insofar as it has things you’d associate with decent DJ gear (coloured pads, long-throw pitch faders, versatile effects, pro mic inputs and pro audio outputs), it is definitely not built as substantially as Denon DJ Prime gear. As stated earlier, it feels more like Numark gear – not necessarily a bad thing as Numark gear is built to last (and remember, Pioneer DJ gear is not scared of plastic, either), but it is also still a departure. Made for home, streaming, and the occasional gig You could also compare it to the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3. The SC Live 4 definitely has more in common with the Pioneer XDJ standalones than, say, the Prime 4 does, because of its club-like layout. Here it’s really about the ecosystem. If you want to play on Pioneer gear because you also play/intend to play in clubs that have it, Pioneer has the edge. If not, in nearly all ways the Denon DJ unit is superior – except the screen. The Pioneer unit has a much easier to read screen, simply because it’s bigger. But for me, the fact that the Denon unit has so much more going for it (and can key shift, which the XDJ-RX3 baffling cannot), means for the intended audience, the SC Live 4 just edges it. Summing upOnboard speakers with independent volume control can be used for personal monitoring or to provide sound for a small party

Mikro, Wheels, Effekte laufen gut, schade, dass kein Effekt aufs Mikro gelegt werden kann, wie bei den Primes - aber dafür kostet das Teil auch deutlich weniger.
