Hannes,

I've heard and read on other DJ forums that Denon ASIO drivers are sh*t and are poorly written.

I have a friend on Facebook who recently brought the new DN-MC6000 and for over last 3 weeks he has been trying to get it to run on the Denon ASIO driver but whatever he's tried he gets small audio glitches.

So now he has given up, and using the controller (with built in soundcard) with the WDM driver.

For a £600 controller, that's pretty poor If you ask me.

Well, thats what i'm thinking too. But tell that to the denon support

Was hoping for the team to share some details if possible, cause all i get from denon is "but its working with traktor".
-> Very helpful, thx a lot *sarcasm*

The dnx is really turning out to be a bad purchase, although the build and sound are excellent.

C´mon guys, down let me down!

Where´s the problem there?

Last week the club I work on Wednesdays has buyed a Denon MC6000 (instead of Turntables...Grrrrr), and I must confirm that all ASIO/Glitch/Sound problems are caused by the lousy Denon drivers. Even with Traktor; I tried this too.

When the ESI Maya 44 USB or the U-Mix 44 (tried both) are "Glitch-free" - this is on my notebook 10ms - the Denon driver needs about 25ms. And then it's even not safe! A loop at the "wrong" time...crackle & glitch.

This issues have nothing to do with Cross or Traktor or Virtual DJ; this is simply the worst ASIO driver I've ever heard. BTW: try to switch from default 48khz to 44,1khz to save some cpu time...I could not switch; always 48khz is active.

To tell the truth: If I were the club owner, I would kick this piece back to the dealer. They paid 800 euros (or so?) for really fine hardware - ok. But because of it's driver you simply can't use it.

Please keep in mind that this is my personell experience. Despite of all inconvenience of carrying around Turntable cases I'll go back and forget about (Denon) controllers.

It seems like Denon has written lousy drivers. You are probably better off using the ASIO4ALL unless there are some benefits or features missing you might miss out from the Denon drivers.

Any time asio drivers are weak asio4all is the solution!

[Hannes]

Asio4all behaves strange as well.
The channel-routing shows doubled I/O, and also when I set Asio4all to 96 Samples and then close the Asio-panel it will jump to 208 Samples in Cross everytime?

But it´s basically working, not perfect, but ok.

Latest news: either the issue is in Cross or Cross finds an issue with the denon-driver (maybe following the asio-rules too strictly or whatever)

I got it working now with everything (fl studio, ableton, wavesaurus and some other softwares i Do Not want to name here)

That sucks!
