Denon MC6000 Ducking Feature

[welby]

Hi,

Is it me, or is anyone else tried the mic ducking feature on the Denon MC6000.

It is horrendous.

It ducks to about 90%-95% volume and the return delay is about 1.5 seconds.

When I use it people think I have just stopped the music!

Not good.

Prefer to do it myself, like you I wasn't happy with some of the levels.

I've had the same experience with every Denon Mixer I've ever used (DN-X120, DN-X500, etc). The volume levels are cut dramatically and the return time is too high.

I've always just controlled the volume with the faders when talking over tracks.

Out of interest, have any Pioneer users got any feedback about their latest efforts to put "Talkover" into their products? From memory one of their newest generations of mixers had some advanced talkover technology which allowed you be heard clearly over music without the overall volume being cut?

Good job you didnt get your 'D' and 'F' mixed up Welby!

I find the talkover on my Pioneer Dm 5000 to be very good and a significant improvement on my previous denon dnx500

Like Sweetie i find my Pioneer DJM5000 talk over to be spot on.

At £725 for a DM5000 mixer or £599 for a MC6000 combined mixer and decks, I'd expect the talkover to be spot on

Again out of curiosity, are you using the USB Soundcard feature of the DM5000 or putting analogue audio through it (i.e. using it as a traditional mixer?)
