Anybody own a Denon DJ MC3000?

i do…. received it the other day..got it with traktor audio pro 2.5 which is this little box thing which i have no idea what it does!!! anyway i am having a nightmare with it and traktor…. using the little box thing when i play tracks they are stuttering and not playing right BUT i can preview the other deck..when not using the little box i cant preview the next track but the tracks play right…
gota ring up the place where i got it from and seek help!!

yes i am completely useless at setting things up!!!

thanks for this info..by the way what does the traktor audio pro 2.5 box do? and why do i need it?

eisenhorn,

I’m going to take a guess here and say that the little box you’ve got is a traktor audio 2. You don’t need to use this with the MC3000, as is already has a built in soundcard.

What you do need to do, is install the denon ASIO driver (if you’re using windows), then go into the traktor preferences. Under audio setup, you need to select the denon MC3000 as your sound card, and then in the routing section, set the main output to mc3000 1/2, and the monitor output to mc3000 3/4.

Also, if you haven’t done already, you probably need to import the traktor tsi file for the MC3000 (as i dont think it comes built in to traktor.) You can download it from denon’s website. Once you’ve downloaded it, go into traktor settings again, then controller manager (the last option). Unless you are using any additional midi controllers, all you need in the drop down list at the top at this point is the generic keyboard, so delete any others. Then import the MC3000 mapping, and set the midi in/out to MC3000.

Hopefully(!) this should get you up and running. Plug your speakers into the main outputs on the back, and your headphones into the socket on the front!

I went from a numark mixtrack to a Denon MC6000 (like the MC3000 but 2 more channels) and the difference is amazing. I love my MC6000!

havant worked out how to work the efx buttons yet or how to use the sample decks c/d!!! ill get there somehow!!!!!!

its really well built as well..very impressed…

If its the same as on the MC6000 (and looking at pics of it it is) then the EFX works like this:

The EFX1 buttons on both sides do nothing at all. The knob above EFX1 controls the wet and dry for that effects deck. The EFX 2/3/4 buttons turn on effects 1/2/3 in grouped effect mode (or specific parameters of the effect if in single mode). The knobs above 2/3/4 control the parameter of that effect (1/2/3). So basically just ignore the EFX1 button, and treat 2 as 1, 3 as 2 and 4 as 3.

Also make sure you have the effect section assigned to a deck by turning on the corresponding FX on button at the top in the middle.

With regards to the sample decks, I haven’t got a clue as I don’t use the sample decks on mine!

MC3000 ordered, Be here on Tues/Wednesday and cant wait, I spent amonth researching and reviewing all sorts of controllers in my price range and the MC3000 fitted the bill for me and think i have made a good choice, Nervous about the setting up with Traktor tho, all new to me, Ive been used to using the free version of VDJ with no controller for a month just to learn the basics, Im ready to move on now 🙂
