- Waddup fam?! I'm back with another gear review video. This time its on the DDJ-REV1 entry level scratch controller. Don't underestimate this controller. It holds its own with a lot of more expensive professional high end controllers like the RANE1. I actually break it down and compare it to the RANE1. I explain all the similarities and the differences between the two controllers. Check out the whole overview and see which controller comes out on top. Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe so i can keep making more of these videos for you guys. Until the next one... Peace
Do you agree with me or not? Either way the Rev1 is a better value controller in my books. What do you think?
I totally agree
I've been waiting for a scratch style controller for as long as controllers started to gain popularity. So happy this exists, can't wait to get one.
You'll love this one!
Great review bro! I gotta check this controller out now. Thanks
You'll love it bro! Enjoy and thanks for watching
Nice compact controller and only for $260?! Wow i gotta get this one. Great review and comparison
You’ll love this it bro! Thanks for watching🙏
I like this lil controller a huge amount of bang for the buck
100% agree!
I agree! I had the rane one and I didn’t like it… rev 1 fader is better than the rane one … it is dope … I also have the rev 7 for my gigs
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you bro!
nice vids. i have a question. what you think of the the inpulse 500 the jogvision pioneer flx4 compared to the rev1 pls let me know rhanks. have a great day
Thanks for watching and your comment. Honestly they are all great controllers. Its your personal preference on which one you are going to like but if you have a chance to test it out before you buy, thats the best way to find out.
I recommend professional djs to get it… you have to purchase serato dj pro though…. I also got a Yamaha mixer to give it more sound…. Super dope….. A MUST HAVE FOR BACKUP
100% agree!
just pirate serato
I know the Rane One gets compared a lot to the Rev7 but it recently got a price cut and now it’s currently $1700 cad. Would you take the Rane One over REV5 which is currently $100 cheaper ? I feel like REV5 has way more features (dedicated stems, auto bpm transitions, etc).
Hmmm good choices in controllers. The only reason i would go for the Rev5 over the Rane1 in this situation is because the Rev5 is newer, has the dedicated stems buttons and more future proof. BUT i can't deny spinning platters as a personal preference so i'll stick with the rane one for now.
Only issue I have is the clicking sound when you using the fader
Ya I know what you mean. It’s pioneers plastic engineering lol
I don't know how to feel about those tempo faders at the top. Its gonna take a while to get used to. Nice vid though
I know what you mean its, an adjustment but definitely but worth it in my opinion. Appreciate you watching my man!
if you have experience with old school turntables then it should be easy. the rev1 its design as the turn tables (battle style). if you dont then its always nice to learn something new.
How did you mix with no rca outputs connected when you are scratching. HUMMM?
haha you caught that huh?! Good eye my friend. I was using my laptops internal speakers. You can change it in the audio settings in serato dj pro. Cheers!
I have a rev1 and love it but first thing I thought is that it feels like a toy. Cross fader is crap. It works fine but it’s feel is not good. Like I said it feels like a plastic toy. Never used a rane1 but I’m sure it’s way better. That being said, like you said absolutely amazing for the price but serato light definitely puts a damper in it but the deck does unlock more features.
The cross fader is very clicky & loud i agree but still great for cutting. The Rane 1 is definetely built like a tank and that justifies the price. Gotta go with Serato pro though IMO
lite tells me i need to upgrade to pro to use all the features LOP
I'm in 2 minds, I don't know weather to buy the Numark NS4FX or the Pioneer Rev 1....?
Honestly its your personal preference in what to get. Either way you can't go wrong. They are both great controllers. Thanks for watching and your comment
I have one . I like it cause its portable and doesnt require a power source.
I am pairing it woth an ns4fx.
Gonna do a ghetto rane 4 but
I have 4 decks , 4 pitch control , 4 effect padal , smoking 16 performance pad and i can layer like a mad man.
All for under 700.
Versus 1600
And you still stuck with 2 deck two pitch control which absolutely suck.
Nice bro sounds amazing! Let me know how it works out for you
I had the Rev 1 for a week and had to send it back. The controller would randomly leave out of vinyl mode all by itself.
Really?! Maybe you got a dud? Sorry to hear that
Are you throwing shade because the rane one is American made🤔
No shade at all bro. I actually love Ranes build quality & sound quality & overall its a great controller and does what its supposed to do and more. Its just the Rev1 does most of what the Rane1 does just without spinning platters and obviously the build quality is not the same too.
Even though I know how to scratch how is the mixing capability of the rev 1?
I respect you and your channel, but these 2 controllers are nowhere near comparable? RANE One gets compared to Rev7 fairly, but never to this toy REV1. I too own the RANE ONE and there are millions of differences between the two. RANE One is pro gear with pro inputs/outputs, pro platters, pro torque and motor, pro Akai pads, pro all metal construction tank build, and 75 other features that destroy the Rev1….Rev1 is cool for chill coffee table scratch sessions, but please don’t compare to the RANE one, you lose integrity when doing so.
I agree with you on the Rane ONE being pro gear, way better build quality, better inputs/outputs....etc... Yes granted it is a PRO level controller comparitively to the Rev1. But you can't deny the facts that i mentioned on the similarities on the 2 controllers. You can get the same outcome with the REV1 and the RANE ONE but in a waaaay cheaper model. Thats what i was trying to stress in this video.
@@DjNinesworld only similarities I see between the 2 are, neither use onboard effects (which is a con for me), both are 2 channel controllers (capable of 4 deck) which I think is useless anyways. Most DJ’s don’t do 4 deck mixing.
Things that separate these two controllers:
RANE one has powerful sound card and power source, where the rev1 is BUS powered. USB powered is never better. Rev1 is literally “entry level” battle style controller, RANE one is essentially 2 turntables (mini RANE twelves). Rev1 uses Serato DJ LITE and you have to pay for DJ PRO if you wanna use that with rev1. Rev 1 pads are super entry level.
If your a scratch DJ who grew up on turntables then the RANE one checks those boxes. The rev1 is basically a “niche” cool little practice device, would not recommend it for professional use. I’m gonna get the rev1, for its niche attractiveness and I’ll enjoy scratching on it, but it’s nowhere near the pro level of the RANE one. That was my point. It’s a $300 controller, it is what it is, but definitely NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR RANE ONE.
Somebody got hurt lol
