Whats going on this is Scott Magno DJ MadFlip, I'm here with uniquesquared.com.
Today I am super excited because we have the Denon DJ SC3900 in the house.
Now the Denon SC3900 is the latest and greatest digital turntable multimedia controller.
It is really awesome.
I am able to play from multiple sources weather it's going to be audio from a CD or MP3s,
or also using from a USB jump drive or hard drive.
So all of you guys out there that don't use a laptop, it's going to be perfect for you.
The best thing of all is that I've got this high torque, direct drive, 9 inch, real vinyl
turntable.
This is incredible.
It actually acts on a magnetic field.
I've got 12 magnets in there and it rotates it just starts and stops exactly when i need
it.
Just sounds...
Just really super accurate all you turntablists out there are going to love it.
Now the cool thing about this is that I'm still able to use it obviously with the DVS
systems.
It has a hybrid MIDI mode in there so i can map it to my DVS systems like Traktor or Serato
really easily, and I don't even need to use a time code CD.
Alright so lets check out the layout of the SC39000.
Its pretty standard.
I like how its smaller than a turntable.
Less heavy but again I still have everything that I like from a controller or turntable
or CD player.
I've got my transport section on the left here.
On the upper left I've got 4 hotcue buttons that are really really accurate.
I can just set those by hitting them and then kind of just use the clear button to get them
off.
I've got four on there but i can also switch form a MIDI bank so I can have control of
four more if i want to trigger samples like in my other software.
My loop in and out section here.
Traditional.
I can loop in and out.
I like to use it in auto loop mode so I can kind of select my 8 beat or 16 beat all the
way down to 1/8 beat and just flip that on and off whenever I need to put the loop in.
My USB input is going to be up here on the left conveniently.
I've got my eject button on there too.
Pretty cool.
Now on the right side, upper right, I've got my browse and scroll feature here.
This is really nice so I can just scroll through all of my tracks whether it's going to be
reading them from jumpdrive, my CD player, or even my laptop.
So i go in there and select them, load them up.
I can also use the shift button here for my hotlist, my crates.
I can navigate through all of my folders super conveniently right there.
I also got a dump button right here.
So if i'm playing a track thats got like some cursing in it and it's like a high school
prom, I don't want them to hear that.
I just hit that dump button it gives me a reverse for like 4 seconds boom no cursing.
Now the coolest thing about the SC3900 outside of the turntable itself is going to be this
nice heads up display.
It's a great improvement from the last turntable that they put out.
I've got all of my source selections right on the top here so i can easily see which
source i'm selecting from whether it's gonna be from CD USB.
Whether it's gonna be another link here or from my MIDI source. that was here on the
side on the 3700.
Vast improvement.
Heads up display is really nice.
I can see what track I'm playing if I've analyzed my track, I can see the waveform in there
so i can see exactly where I am if I'm in a loop, out of a loop, and exactly where I
am with the rotating display too.
Ok so lets talk about the network.
Now the Denon SC3900 is going to come with the Engine software.
This is a great software that you can use to analyze all of your tracks, to organize
all of your folders.
You can do this using the network.
That means i can take my own dedicated wireless router with me to the gig, I can put multiple
3900s, my laptop, even my ipad, utilizing the Engine software.
Now don't get me wrong its not a DVS program.
Your not actually using it to run your software.
You can organize all of your stuff live.
You can do it also from home.
So if you don't want to bring your laptop to the gig, you can save all that to a jump
drive, set it in to the 3900, and all of your tracks are going to be analyzed and ready
to go.
Alright so who is going to use the Denon SC3900?
I'm going to tell you everybody is going to use it.
I started out using turntables, I moved to a DVS system and then eventually I moved to
a controller.
I can use the 3900 with a DVS system and have all of the convenience of using a controller.
You know all of my hotcues, all of my features, right on here without using timecode.
For those of you guys that don't use a laptop, obviously it's perfect for you because you
you can use it with a CD, USB, harddrive.
You can also link it to the other one.
The SC3900 is perfect for anyone out there who wants to take their DJing seriously.
There you have it guys the Denon SC3900.
This is an awesome digital turntable and multimedia controller.
