Wi-fi is built-in to SC Live devices, ensuring easy access to a web connection in the home or music studio environment. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014. With the in-built Wi-Fi and onboard song analysis, this combination makes for a quality, creative and diverse upcoming DJ set. The option to also run the controller with Serato DJ or VirtualDJ in software mode makes the controllers even more flexible. The added ability to latch Touch FX allows you to focus on other aspects of your mix while the effect remains active.

The pitch sliders are long and precise, and the jogwheels are nicely weighted and feel larger than those on the "pro" Prime 4. The SC Live 4 runs on the versatile Engine DJ software with ultra-fast onboard song analysis, this allows you to import your existing DJ libraries from any major DJ software with the hot cues and other settings still in place. Control Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Manual Loop, Roll, Slicer and Slicer Loop modes with 8 Performance Pads on each deck. A 7-inch multi-gesture touchscreen display provides interactive and clear visual information that aids you to select and blend tracks perfectly. Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions.The SC LIVE 4 is powered by Engine DJ, the same leading standalone DJ operating system that fuels laptop-free performances on the biggest stages and DJ booths across the globe. The majority of decisions are given instantly, so you could get your new gear sooner than you thought! These discounts are usually communicated through newsletters, which are created and managed by us with the tool "Emarsys". They feature built-in speakers, built-in WiFi for streaming services, and clever built-in controls for both smart lights and professional lighting. From the touch of a button, DJs can access beat-synced light shows instantly for saved or streamed tracks.

Since the unit can control four decks (the "decks" have "layer" buttons that let you choose between decks 1 and 3 on the left deck and decks 2 and 4 on the right deck), it can get a little crowded. Also new to Engine DJ are Match filters - easily find songs in your library lists compatible with songs loaded to the decks with these new, intelligent, and powerful filters. Fixed an issue where a track remained in the Prepare list when loading to a deck in certain situations. Streaming is now likely to sound even better than playing from a USB stick and is in prime position to become the favoured media choice!

Of course, you can plug in your own speakers too, and then choose whether to have the built-in ones turned on or off; to test the sound quality, we did just that and pushed the audio into a pair of Adam Audio A4V monitors here in the studio. Your best bet for SC Live 4 alternatives will either be the Denon DJ Prime 4, or Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-RX3, depending on the ecosystem you prefer.

Like Denon’s range of professional DJ mixers, the SC Live 4 mixer section is fitted with extensive controls you can utilise to master your mix. Rarely has a first start been faster and less complicated than with the SC Live - with the possible exception of the Numark Mixstream Pro. Unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR jacks for Master speakers make hooking the unit into a professional sound system easy, as there’s no need to go through an external mixing board. This 1:1 hardware to software integration displays moving waveforms and music library information on the HD touchscreen and provides full access to FX and other top features.The SC Live 4 has two jog wheels with deck switch, speed, looping and hot cue controls and a mixer section with 13 BPM FX and four sweep FX. For adding your own music, you export it from your laptop to USB or SD, then select your drive as a source, and access your playlists etc as with all such systems. The eight Performance Pads on each deck are robust and durable and can be used to control various modes such as Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Manual Loop, Slicer, Roll and Slicer Loop. The mixer has been given a club layout that looks more like the Denon DJ X1850 (and all Pioneer DJ units, of course) than the Prime 4 with its traditional "controller" layout. The big departure for the mixer is its club layout, and many people will prefer this, where you have the four “sweep FX” that you can control manually (Filter, Noise, Echo and Wash – all sound good), and then an extra BPM-tied single effect that you can assign to any or all channels (although not the mics, dialling in a beat cycle length, and time or parameter).
