Best software for MC6000

The MC6000 Mk1 comes with a LE version of VDJ. As a VDJ user I brought that controller on the basis it was the best for the software and have since upgraded to a mk2. As DJ Vintage says you do need to pay for the Pro VDJ but sometimes you can get a 50% discount with a particular controller. Worth an ask on their website. That’s how I got my Pro licence but can’t remember if it was with the Denon or a previous Numark controller.

I love my 6000 mk 1. I messed around with VDJ because it came with the unit.. I ended-up choosing Traktor because it and serato are the two real standards. I paid $99 for Traktor from NI. A fair deal. I used to use Serato and was initially upset because of switching. But with time, I got used to it and really like it. I still use Serato for doing control CDs or vinyl… so you could say I use both equally. But with my 6000, only use Traktor. unless I upgrade to Mk II unit.. in that case, I’ll switch back to Serato. I’d stick with Traktor for your Mk1 controller.. It’s stable. Works great. and is an industry standard. I had little issues setting it up.. but you’ll want the real version.. not an introductory version. Same with VDJ. I think there was issues setting-up the audio path and outputs without the paid version. VDJ has a 30 day trial though to try out. Stick with Traktor. Just get the correct drivers / version for your Denon. I believe that it should have come with it.. activate your Tractor via their site etc.. and upgrade to whatever version is newest. Should work like a charm.
