    Do we have a 3rd Channel on the REV7 for an additional Aux In on a extra knob?

    Nice review, do you have a link to the butter rugs to buy from the uk please? and is there any specific way to put them on?
    Coming from vinyl are the butter rugs the way to go for a simular feel? Thanks

      @@TheDJConnect I was about to buy the Rane 12 to learn how to scratch, I thought the extra space would make learning simpler, more forgiving, struggling on the Rev 7. Love the Rev 7 tho. I'm an enthusiast no interest in ever performing for anyone, just like making mixes. Was bout to buy two 12s and the DJM-S11 this year.
      Should I not? I do love my Rev 7, incidentally I also started on the SX2, its in the closet but every now and then I'll break it out if I find a mix where I want three songs

      @@trip5497 Well I'm just some guy on the internet, so take what I say with a grain of salt,
      I'm also not a PRO scratcher, realistically just starting to understand.
      But no. I wouldnt do that at all.
      Unless you just REALLY WANT a pair of turntables,
      The rev truly is the best.
      Bigger DOES NOT = better.
      We all think that, trust me, I would think the same.
      But as you start getting better, you get more control.
      Scratches should be very small micro movements, you DONT need a bunch of space,
      It's actually a negative.
      There are different spots you can grab the record but the only time that would matter is when you are very advanced.
      Up until that point, when you're practicing,
      You should be practicing very clean micro movements.
      When you watch a pro scratcher go overr, they aren't flailing their arms around and their body isnt moving...
      They are very calm, collected, and almost robotic?

    Yeah, I'd go with the Rev 7 just for the sleek, portable setup. That's the whole point of getting a controller - for efficiency and portability. If you're getting the Rane 12s, you might as well just get 1200s and a mixer. I just saw Shortkut do a showcase on the Rev 7 and he was absolutely murdering it. Doing everything he does on a normal setup, but zero skips. He may have been even better on the Rev 7 than traditional 1200s and a mixer because no skipping.

    I currently have a Rane One after years of the Numark NS7. I am heavy handed and absolutely hate how cheap and loose the One feels. I’m considering the Rane Twelve setup. Have you used the One or the NS7 before and if so, can you compare the feeling of the platters? I miss the ability to tighten the platter on the NS7. The Rane fader is also a bit soft for my liking.
