Id be confused if the person designing the S7 and s11 is the same than the other pioneer gear. I love to rant about pioneer gear being a ripoff and not up to par with competitors, but the DJM S7 and S11 seem to be made with love. Hat of to who ever designed this
Hi, im late to the party, but the s7, if you DONT scratch with the line faders, its ok. The linefaders get loose (they are soldered by one pin) and ...you know :D, it gets broken. At least the rane 70 doesnt suffer from this, but i like the workflow from pioneer.
Are you able to go into settings with this mixer, and adjust the cut in points with the cross fader, so that the sound is instantaneous as soon as you move the fader??
Simple; if you plug it in and it doesn't unlock Serato DJ Pro and/or Rekordbox DVS. Also note that when you guy this NEW you get a license key for Serato DJ Pro - Pitch N Time functionality. If your not getting that, don't expect those features.
Love your videos Mojaxx, i may get the s7 because i use vinyl and it is hard to find a modern mixer these days that sound good for vinyl. Do you happen to have any suggestions on other modern mixers that have phono preamps that sound clean for vinyl? appreciate your suggestion on this
Thanks for the info! My question is when using the USB hub with (rane 12, LC6000, CDJs in HID mode) when doing a dj change over will the USB deck change to the new computer? Because that is a major pain having to unplug & plug the decks when going back to back with another dj..
Each channel has a switch for inputs: Laptop A, line, phono, Laptop B. So when Laptop b connects you move the channel your use to Latop B input, fade to that channel, then switch channel 1 to also be Laptop b and disconnect LaptopA.
Interesting, especially at this lower price. I'd bet it sells well... If it was $999 and some Twelves were $499 each I'd probably be down for a set... Maybe Rane will make some Seven decks, with the smaller jogs on the One controller... 🤔
I'm torn between this and the rane 70. In the 70 you can stack all 3 serato effects, albeit controlled equally by the one encoder. On the s7, it looks like you can only have 1 effect in operation at once? I currently have an sp1 which you can control all 3 effects with the parameters indipendently.
I thought when it said Bluetooth I was going to be able to use my Bose wireless headphones on the mixer. It would be nice if this or any mixer did that.
S7 should def be the choice for most DJ's. Unless you're doing super creative stuff with all of the features of the s11, save $600 and grab an S7. (My personal opinion) Will it come with cool CV though? That's the important question.
I use Traktor and love it. There are mixers that you can use for Traktor. I think people get stuck on the "Pioneer is the industry standard".... that is for club use. How many are really DJ in the club? I understand what you say about Traktor though. Hopefully they do better by DJs. If not, oh well. Allen & Heath it is...lol
@@69Beats Hey SNB, I meant it like that. Normally you have equipment with MK2 MK3, 5, 5S, etc but Pioneer have these big jumps in models going in both directions creating huge gaps. Will there ever be an S1to S6 or an S8? Seemed more logical to make an S8 or S10.
@@deejaySilence yeah hes a sick dj he also is sponsered by reloop and used to use pioneer if ur a good dj u can dj on anything doest change the fact the mixer is shit
Because S10 is a trademark of Chevrolet. ;) Realistically, it would be positioned above the S9 as its successor, but as the name was taken, Pioneer DJ went with S7 instead. But yeah, I'd pick it over the S11 as well!
Ever heard of the Chevrolet S10? It's a trademarked name, Pioneer DJ can't use it. ;). But yes, effectively that's where it would be placed in the lineup.
Some might think so based on a couple of features alone, but this has slightly better audio, a bunch of new tricks for the pads, out-of-the-box support for rekordbox, plus it's $100 cheaper. I'd consider this to be better value in more ways.
@@DeejayPulse lol you call that new pad modes? ive had those pad modes since the s9 cane out where do you think they got the idea from? not rane lol. you do know the s9 works outta the box with rekordbox too but who cares lmao no one cared about price when you already have a s9 and lets be real if your worried about 100$ u probably financed your mixer and might aswell get the far superior s11. Your not gonna talk about how the fx layout is changed.. garbage. no smooth echo smaller footprint smaller autolooop buttons they chaged the encoders and cheaper up faders also is it just me or is that fader look like a mini and not very long?
@@fedscame Check it - the S7 has split pad modes, the S9 does not. And the S9 does *not* work out-of-the-box with rekordbox, it requires the Core (or Creative) plan subscription or use of another hardware-unlock device. The FX changes aren't bad - you can still access all of them through holding the button + rotating encoder. Do you regularly use more than 6? Lucky there are 2 Loop MIDI modes (or just customize them)! No Smooth Echo, but hey, that's a reason to consider the S11 then, isn't it? Sampler FX are available - route the FX to one of the channels. No AUX FX right now, but hopefully in an update.
@@DeejayPulse i have split pad modes and the idea came from haveboards mapping ive had split pads since day 1 lol and the s9 does work with rekordbox if u want dvs u need the performance pack
It's about time Pioneer came out with a mixer where you don't have to sell half a Kidney, half your gear, a car and a first born.
Still 1400.00 🤔
With this one, you only must sell your car.
@@marianochiappe2427 😄
$2000 isn’t alot of money at all, lol
@@JayWerx oh sorry your highness
i hope regular club goers dont get wind of the bluetooth feature cause then now those “play it off my phone” requests will soar haha
Still dont understand how it works. Do you need a song as a real mp3 fille on your phone? Can you send a song from Spotify to the mixer? How?
“I KNOW YOU GOT BLUETOOTH IN YOUR SERATO!”
@@hi_im_fido Any audio on your phone from any app can play into the mixer. It's made for using looper apps so you can practice your scratching.
@@hi_im_fido any audio. it could even be a phone call or something

Hey Mojaxx, how does this square up against the Rane Seventy?
I think the Loop MIDI feature will unleash a new creative side for DJs.
Just bought this mixer and I love it. 🥰🥰
Did you have any trouble with midi control after plugging it in
@@truestory2227 negative. It was a great mixer but I upgraded to the S11 SE 😁
@@djxsquizit it doesnt have loop midi or blue tooth though so why?
@@detroittrickster3327 i dont use neither so...
Mojaxx review videos are the best. Always so thorough and informative!
Agreed he's one of my favorite reviewers 👌🏼
Dope video ! Just ordered mines !!
i just saw a future where all DJ mixers have bluetooth inputs, and every clubber knows it's possible for you to play a song from their phone
In my experience they’ve already thought that, for years. Funniest one is when they hand you their own aux cable...
Noooo
just charge an horrendous price for each request lol
thank you for answering that this has bluetooth 5.0. couldn't find that anywhere else.
Whose idea was to put trim level knobs right near filter knobs?
That’s a big yikes for me.
It's exactly how it's been for the last 6 years on the S9 and for the said 6 years I haven't heard a single person complaining about it 🤔
@@69Beats Then I will be the first 🤷🏻
It's been like that since 2015 with the DJM-S9.

How does the USB ports allow you to connect to CDJs? Would this eliminate the need for a USB hub when using HID mode?
That’s the idea, yes.
Mind BLOWN!! Just take my money NOW!!!
Are you able to go into settings with this mixer, and adjust the cut in points with the cross fader, so that the sound is instantaneous as soon as you move the fader??
if im buying this used how do I check to see if this authentic pioneer mixer?

Look out for some numark v7s, the technology in music used for the rane one and 12s, pick em up cheap now
Does it still work? Still the smell?

cant use phase 2.4 v
Regarding setting the loop size from serato instead of a default 4 beat loop, that was possible on the s9 too
The default is Serato style. You can switch it to S9 style. You have options for either configuration.
it seems they removed the sampler fx button
That’s a deal breaker for me.
You can reroute it to a channel and use the channel's FX paddle and color FX
Where did you get your turntables custom done?
Christ I've watched so many of his videos I mouthed his final words as he said them verbatim haha

Beautiful unit!! My S9 Xlr outputs are broken I might buy this instead of trying to get it fixed
dont the s9 i way better.

Hi! Thanks for the video! Does it have instant doubles and silent cue?
Yes, it has instant doubles and has "Gate Cue" which for me is like Silent Cue in steroids.
@@djpho you can also use Loop MIDI 2's Cut function as a silent cue option as well.

The US / Canadian units will have Serato vinyl in the box.... regular black.
@@DeejayPulse ahhh booo. Guess part of that $600 difference is in those rare neon orange CV. :)
@@maxp9919 lol
its does more than the s11 with loop midi
Thank you
I stick with my s9 another 5 year... maybe then i buy the S30 😁
Video idea: is Traktor a viable option in 2021 given the lack of third party hardware support and software development?
I don’t think so, unfortunately. Native Instruments seem to have forgotten about DJing & are just focusing on production ☹️

The Midi function is reading a cool thing.
The numbering system is all over the place. S9, S3, S11,S7
It kinda makes more sense if you write it in order from the lowest number to the highest, not by the premiere date ;)

They are odd numbers. Just like the DJM-707 and 909 😉
Big Sur and m1 ready ?
The S11 already is! So i assume the S7 is also!!!
@@phillipdiaz4742 S9 still isn’t :/
None of the drivers or software (Serato incl.)- waiting on Apple to release Big Sur 11.2 with a fix for audio / MIDI devices at the end of January.
Hello do you have to stop traktor pro ?😉
The sound out between pioneer & RANE?
🙏
Built in midi triggering, now thats fucking interesting. Wonder if we're going to see them implementing more of that going forward.
Lovely
Sucks about the upfaders... a battle mixer of that price should have replaceable quality upfaders.... I am really bumped out about this one
My poor S9 went from Flagship Battle Mixer to redheaded step child...
It's still very shiny and has lots of lights, no one will know it isn't a flagship.
@@maxp9919 True - in the dark most will be checking for the 6 FX buttons vs. 3 to tell the difference! But honestly, the S9 is still a great mixer.
😄
s9 is way better trust me. if anything it just got rare and worth more.
@@fedscame s9 will probably still be standard for a while, sure, but the s7 is probably "better". Better pre-amps, more pad features etc.
System F "Out of the Blue!" Please tell us more!
Good review! How is it with vinyl?
Great with DVS and vinyl with my limited use, just remember that that vinyl limits you to a Phono input so you only get Beat FX and no Pad FX.
This ticks almost all the boxes
Nice video
Good first look! Thank you!
Dope
Nice
🔥🔥
Can someone comment on the build quality: is it better or worse than the S9?
Virtually identical construction and component-wise.
@@DeejayPulse thanks!
and then 2 years on you regret buying it once you realize you have to pull apart the mixer and desolder the channel faders when they bleed 😭
