Is the DENON DN-MC6000 a good controller or setup whatever you want to call it, for doing club stuff and college parties? Does it have pressure sensitive jog wheels?? Making my first Adele and Zeds Dead mix... so im pretty stoked to get some hardware to juice up my beats..

Yes. I own one and have done club gigs with it. Having the XLR main out and TRS Booth outs makes it compatible with DJ booth inputs. Also the MC6000 jogs are touch sensitive not pressure.
I've used it with both Traktor and VDJ.

Do a forum search. There is lots of info on this and a long discussion thread in the hardware section.
Yes it is an excellent controller if your budget can stretch to getting one.

The MC-6000 jogs have a touch capacitive surface (similar to iPhone/iPad and Android Devices screen technology) and not touch sensitive surface or pressure sensitive mechanism underneath them.
The differences between these 3 technologies is very big to be ignored...
Touch capacitive: The surface understands the "slightest" touch of human skin and it doesn't react on other objects (at least not with objects that can't create electric capacity variations)
Touch sensitive: The surface has a thin layer that understands pressure. Typically this happens because when pressure applies the thin layer "bends" You can touch a "touch sensitive" surface without actually triggering it if your touch is gently without applying some pressure.
Pressure sensitive: The pressure sensitive jogs have micro switches underneath the entire jog. When you apply pressure the entire jog moves down some distance varying from some micro-meters (100's of mm) to even 1 or more mm.
Basically the pressure sensitive jogs are very similar to "touch sensitive" jogs when the travel distance is very small (like Pioneer CDJ-1000) but they can also be "different" when the travel distance is bigger (like Pioneer CDJ-400)
PS: I am really bored right now and I thought it was a good opportunity to analyze this... :P

Thank you for the tech info George.
