- Hey guys i just got this Rane One controller and im having so much fun playing around with it. Its so intuitive and scratching feels so natural on it. With that being said this controller is not for every dj. Watch the video and see my train of thought. Is this an upgrade or a total overhaul lol. Thanks for watching fam! Until next time....
Do you agree with my thoughts in the video? If not let me know if I missed or over looked anything.
I agree with everything you said.
The Rane one has dedicated buttons for the horn or whatever sound effects you want to use, that’s what the sampler is for. The sound quality and build is much better than pioneer, most DJs just get pioneer because all the clubs have it, but that doesn’t make pioneer good.
@@kingsleyrussell348 ya I hear ya on putting the horn on the sampler buttons which I have done myself but I’m just saying I’m gonna miss the actual dedicated button for the horn on the sz. And I agree pioneer isn’t the best but it is pretty much the standard. But I do love the Rane one! Thanks for commenting man. I appreciate you watching. Stay safe
I got a Rane One, it’s the shit. My first gen SX died, spinning platters sold me. Wish there was hardware FX, but I can live with it.
Trust me I know what you mean bro lol. Take it easy and thanks for watching🙏
I’ve had the Rane One for a five months now,, My only reason for getting it was that I use Algoriddim DJay AI program with my iPad and this was the best controller that ticked all the boxes..
I’m not a turntablist or scratch Dj and mainly just mix music but the Neural Mix feature was a game changer for me and I was able to midi map it to suit my needs as well as converting it to a make shift 4 channel controller using the 2 Mic channels..It’s not the most ideal way of doing it but it does work somewhat..
Also the ability to use it with an iPad makes it more portable as well.
Nice Maurizio! Your a technical wiz! Much props to you bro! Portabilty is always key!
Agreed. I have experienced a few issue with switching between the two where the controller would control both sides. Apparently there is a trick I have not learned yet. I got the Rane One as a replacement for my NS7II and I miss the capacitive touch controls on the EQ. I used to use those a lot. My other gripe is that the up faders are not upgradeable and they are rather tight. …. I think the price is good compared to running with a full Twelve setup. My biggest issue was how long it took to get it with the supply chain issues (Ordered in January and received in May). I ended up with two and flipped the second while it was in high demand. … All in all I am going to stick with it until I get advanced with scratching.
Goodluck with your Rane One! Have fun learning how to scratch!
I was close to getting the 1000srt before this came out. The motorized platters and soundcard sold me over the 1000. The lack of on board fx was a super bummer at the price point. Rane should let us send the Ones back in to have on board fx added. Outside of that. I LOVE the Rane One. And I am not an OG DJ at all. I just like the way it feels when I play. And it is aesthetically pleasing to my clients... they too like feeling like they have a turntable dj. I upgraded from a DDJ SR2 which was my first controller. I actually loved that as well which is why I was going to go to the SX or 1000srt but I really love the build quality and overall product of the Rane One. Do I wish it was the same price as a 1000? Yes. I do feel like I over paid, but I am still very satisfied with what I got. Some pioneer gear just feels way too much like a toy in comparison. The rev7 is interesting. But since its also only 2 channel. I would essentially be paying up for on board fx and thats just not quite worth it. COME ONE RANE!!! COME OUT WITH AN UPGRADED ON BOARD FX version of the Rane One and I trade up in an INSTANT.
Yes bro I feel you on the onboard FX🙌🏻 Other than that it’s an amazing controller though I can’t deny. Appreciate your comment man!🙏
Thank you! Finally, someone addressed "who it is for". I am a house DJ and have been researching the Rane One vs Pioneer 1000st trying to get the question answered. I play some hip hop but not to the extent I need the Rane One. Like you said... if anything it could mess up your transitions if you nudge it. Saved me $300! But the Rane One looks so cool though 😄 Thanks for the video!
Anytime☺️ Thanks for watching!
I have the numark ns7 ii. And it had 4 channels. And the effects as well. And paid way less at the time. I'll wait to see what they " meaning other dj controller companies. To see what they come out with. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching🙏 Appreciate you
@@DjNinesworld no problem brother. Thanks for the video. I'll save my money for something different.
Do you know where I can get my NS7lll repaired?
@DJRetro Ent. I'm sorry brother. I don't. I'm afraid any day now mines is going to go.
Still on back order here in the states for a couple months now. Hopefully they become back on stock soon!!!
Build quality vs Pioneer is the difference w cost.. also you can turn off the platters and it will work more like a standard controller if you want.or need to.
Thanks for the video! I currently have a Pioneer SX2, and one of the channels is starting to act up. Got about 6 years out of that controller, so not bad. So it’s time to up grade. Was weighing between the Rane or the DDJ1000SRT. I’m not a scratching DJ. Love to just beat match and add a few effects here and there. After watching this video and seeing how cool the Rane controller is, I think I’m going to go with the Pioneer. It’s closer to the controller I have and I love the onboard effects. Now if the stores could just get them back in stock, I’d be set!
Thanks again!
You'll love the DDJ1000SRT! You won't have to upgrade for awhile again. Thanks for watching!
Can you do a video on how to use the pitch blend correctly please
Best controller I've ever owned!
Yessir!!!!!!
I think your comment on being outside. Not that many people are outside DJing and the worst thing you want to be is in the sun with your gear having the Sun bead down on your equipment. Now if you're DJing a wedding, a club or inside event those lights are perfect and that's more of the direction that they're going with. I've been in this game since 1983 and I consider myself a versatile DJ with different styles mixing scratching, house and hip hop. If you know what you doing you're going to take any type of equipment and make it work. I feel this is way better than what they used to make back in the day.
I hear what your saying bro. I totally agree with you that dj gear has made leaps and bounds since back in the day. You’d be surprised at how many djs have to spin outside for events though especially here in Toronto in the summer
@@DjNinesworld right now bro I specialize in weddings. If you want to buy the toys that's where the money is. So this unit is perfect for that. The advantage you have today and if you know how to mix music at weddings is you will dominate the guy with just the laptop computer pushing buttons. What I find now is if the music stops the energy stops and with somebody with just a laptop computer without controller the music will stop.
@@DJGALAXYPRODUCTION 💯!!! I mostly do weddings too so I know how it is too.. Mixing is key to keep the momentum going.
Very well done brother man. Another great review! Im thinkin if i should pick this up now lol
Do it bro! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for watching fam!
its heavy because of the metel and the all spinning platters
Thank you for the video. Fast forward to 2024, is the Rane One still worth it vs newer controllers like REV 5 or the Hercules T7 for someone getting into turntables? Currently wanting to jump from a DDJ400.
Thanks for watching! I think the Rane one is totally still worth it in 2024! It has most of the same features as the newer controllers and the torque on the spinner platters are second to none when you compare them with actual turntables. Have fun on your DDJ400!
I went SB3 to flx6 to Rane One. I HAVE NOT LOOKED BACK. If you came from TT like I did in the 90's "Shhh yes I'm old lol" then just get the Rane one...skip the drama or if you Got the funds get the full 12" Rane system. KILLER!
Im glad you love the Rane one! Cheers
@@DjNinesworld Thanks and awesome video
nothing is better then actual turntables period
'
Horn effect is cheesy lol. But I always thought it was a sample. Does this controller support sample banks in Serato? Couldn’t you just load the horn sound in the sample bank and trigger it with the pads? Awesome video tho! I have technics turntables and rane 62. I was looking for a nice controller for small parties.
Ya i was just joking about the horn lol. But yes you can just add it to the sample banks too. This would be a perfect controller for you coming from techs and a 62!
Great review! Just what I was looking for. You said there is no extra channel to use your phone or whatever, but it looks like there is one RCA AUX in for that kind of stuff
Yes sorry i was mistaken. There is an aux channel which comes out to rca's my bad i forgot to mention that in the video. Thanks for pointing it out.
As much as I love moving platters I had to get away. I don’t like the wow and flutter , it sucks having to nudge and slow down. I want to focus on the mix more so went with the rev5.
Great choice with the Rev5
Nah I think It's fine for beginners (if budget isn't an issue). It was my first controller and I picked it up fast enough.
Thats awesome! Good for you bro
Nice review man! Looks like a great controller!
It’s a sick controller bro! Thanks for watching 🙏
@@DjNinesworld Have you used the Numark NS7III before? If so can you make a comparison of the pros and cons? Thanks in advance.
I've been djing for about a year now practicing almost everyday on the DDJ 400 using Rekordbox ...originally, I was planning to get the DDJ1000 next as its the closest thing to club gear which is my main target. HOWEVER! I'm a big hip hop head and basically..Yeah.. I'm Upgrading to the Rane One !!!🥶
Your gonna love the Rane One bro!!!!🙌🏼 Trust!
The lack of onboard effects is not a dealbreaker for me. I do have the DJM-S9, but I usually only use the echo and the flanger, which is about the same as the serato effects anyway. The 2 decks are also not a deal breaker for me, since my style is hip hop/turntablism. Even when I spin house, it’s very much in a hip hop style. With that out of the way, I think it will be a great controller for me.
When you put it like that! It will be a great controller for you! You’ll love it buddy! Thanks for watching and the comment! Happy holidays 🎅🏼🎄🎁
@@DjNinesworld right on. My unit should be arriving today. Peep my channel for some upcoming mixes! 🌟
Dj nines i got a question 🤔 if you had to make a one time purchase for the long haul would you choose the ddj rev 5 over the Hercules T7? I come from the days of turntables so been there and done that on moving platters, i probably want be buying another controller so which one would you choose?
If you like the turntable feel and are used to using them I would definitely go with the Hercules T7!
Rane 1 is for DJs who are creative IMO. If u need on board fx to make your mixes sound better then you need to practice your sets before u go live in front of an audience. Don't depend on better equipment to make u a better DJ, just doesn't work that way.
I agree with what your saying. Its just nice to have onboard effects for variety
Thank you so much
I use the DDJ SR2 controller for my mobile gigs but us turntables when streaming at home.. recently I was looking to upgrade and my choices were the DDJ 1000, DDJ 1000SRT or the Rane One.. I ordered the Rane One because I didn't want to wait 6 months for the DDJ 1000SRT (its on backorder on zZounds until the summer), so once I get the Rane I will see if it is as good as advertised.. The lack of onboard efx is a sticking point but I'm hoping there will be a firmware update that will allow you to add them (hopefully I won't have to buy a new controller), but I the end that seems to be the only issue for me.. Good video, very informative
Thanks for watching bro🙏 Ya I agree the lack of onboard effects is a big one for me too. Other than that you will love the controller. Enjoy!
I agree with your comments,. Just my 2 cents... pioneer sucks, only the top line battle mixers are good (I like the workflow of pioneer mixers). But the rest, industry standard sucks. CDJs are polular, because at the beginning of the massive edm, electronic era most of the djs could not mix well on vinyl, its too difficult. So cdjs with mixer companion, easy. You can do everything with a cheap dj controller whithout spending a lot of money and its even easier than with a pioneer controller. If you are more rap versed and like scratching its cheaper to buy 2 turntables and a mixer (dvs or not), than a rane one. But i agree that the rane one is good because of the portability . Everybody talks about the internal pioneer fx but in reality its not something thats too important, serato, rekordbox and traktor fx are good enough for everything, even in clubs or festivals. Hate the industry standard but i have to work with that. Im old and still hoping that the clubs turn again to turntables (i know its not possible), so we can hear better djs (nobody speaks the truth nowadays, its a no no, because you can hurt feelings). I dont wannt to hear perfect mixes, i wannt to hear art.
Only for opening your eyes, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/GmYkIOqVLcY/v-deo.html
One side, we have qbert and the other side ean golden. qbert is art, product of years ot training. What ean makes, you can do with a little preparation. But ean can see the future of djing. ..ohh shit im drunk
LOL. Cheers brother. I hope you sober up. Thanks for watching
@@DjNinesworld Fully recovered!!! Going for the turntables now!!!! :D
This is a pioneer advert!
Ya I’m sorry if it looks that way. I can see why you would think that. I’m just a little more partial to pioneer. But thanks for watching
Upgrading from a Numark platinum to a RANE one!!! Hope I’m not making a a mistake 😬
Thats a big upgrade! You won't regret it bro. Enjoy!
Hopefully you are still monitoring this post. I have been at this a very long time ! Technics SL1200 MK II's 6 channel Stanton vestax mixer with sampler. I did add the original version of Serato. What is your take on serato? The new version seems to be much better. Vs Virtual DJ? or Tractor. I would like to have the flexibility to push a pad to switch my scratch bank. I like the tools in virtual DJ separating Vocals and beats I can always use the software to create my own tracks to mix later .For live performances I used to run one channel with beats and drop the mixes live and scratching live. It was like using 3 decks with only 2. So do I keep the turntables and get a controller with all of the mixer features or just step into the rane one? Not worrieed about weight. Also still using time coded vinyl and stanton 680 EL cartridges. Would like to lose the needles Thanx, Chance
Hey Chance thanks for the comment. Serato DJ pro is far more stable now compared to Scratch Live or even Itch(the later versions). I use Serato DJ pro because i started out on it and am used to it honestly but i can't deny the stems tool on Virtual dj is a game changer and i would like to give that a try sometime. In a lot of ways Virtual Dj has a couple of more innovations than serato and i can see why a lot of djs swear by it. Now if your used to using turntables and would like to give the Rane ONE a try you won't be disappointed as it will feel like your turntable setup just in a smaller package. Theres also another route you could go and you won't need to sell anything. You need to look into the PHASE DJ SYSTEM which eliminates your needles and your tonearms completely and turns your tables into one big controller. I have a video of the system here and before it was unreliable with a lot of problems but now it is a solid system and most if not all djs swear by it now including myself ua-cam.com/video/tHIz0uGVHI4/v-deo.html
You will need to get the Phase system and a mixer with Serato Dj pro built in to use it properly since they are now integrated together.
So you have options buds. Take it easy and let me know which route you take. Thanks for watching!
I have the RANE ONE, but the PLATTERS Are really stiff and is a bit hard to scratch on. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
I know what you mean. The Rane ONE is pretty stiff at first and you need to get used to cutting on it. You can also adjust the fader too if you want but you have to do this manually. The platters on the other hand are just really stiff and i noticed you can't backspin it properly without putting constant pressure on it. I don't think there is a way to adjust the actual tension on the platters.
Anyone having issue with mega crossfader playing on both decks not fading out , unable to scratch
We're is the best way to get this rane 1 please
You can buy it off of amazon and get it delivered straight to your door. Or go to your local music store and buy or order it from there. Alternatively you can also find some used online if you're looking for a deal. Goodluck
@@DjNinesworld yes can you help me
Great review! However, I disagree. Mixing is really fun even if you don't scratch. If you ever wanted to try turntables but don't want to spend $1400+ on a mixer, this is the device for you.
To each his own! I appreciate your opinion👌 Thanks for watching bro🙏
@@DjNinesworld to each their own exactly. I'm with Salvador.
Question is... Would you pay...say $300 more for if it had hardware effects? Personally I have a Rane 70 with mk5s and it would essentially be a portable version of home. No rush for me though. I'll be waiting for perhaps a mkII version or maybe something from the competition.
Touche!
I have this controller have for six months I’m a house DJ but have scratched for years intermediate …scratching it perfect on them as 1210s but I feel mixing side they don’t always hold the mix for long mixes is it me or is it using platters like technics ?? I’m buying a ddj1000 srt and keeping Rane to scratch with as not happy with mixing on the Rane . Maybe I’m wrong I’ve come back into the game after 12 years and bit lost thank you
Glad to have you back on the decks after so long! Just need to practice again to get comfortable. Its like riding a bike you never forget how to do it. Thanks for watching
hi there , great video , thank you , for years ive Dj-d on vinyl , sinse the 80s LOL , oldskool, !!!! i still have turntables , , my music is house , dance . ect , but the whole plastic thing i see with most of the other brands really turns me off , , i got a pioneer , and to be honest it was super expesnive , but felt like super cheap plastic that womt last more than a few gigs , , effects dont rreally bother me , and the look and construction of this beauty just really says buy me ? plus it is mains powered , something i hate about most controllers . could this be a good choice for me , ? thank you my friend , a massive DJ hug from the UK ,
This is perfect for you! You’ll love it!
@@DjNinesworld thank you buddie
I have 2 Vastex and 2 1200s ... 2 vastex mixers.... I'm gonna give it a try!!!!.... does it come with serato pro included?
Yes it comes with serato dj pro if you buy the controller. You'll love it!
you dudes complain toooo much!!!! really 2 channels??? who really mixes on four decks!!!! effects???? really!!! can you guys really dj???? everybody is an expert...either you can dj or you can't...I Have the ddj1000 and the rane one...hands down the rane one is the truth...stop listening to these dudes!!! they make you think pioneer is the industry stanard...not true at all.. if u suck you'll suck on anything you play on...
Never heard the crowd compliment you on your effects!!!!
Exactly. Yah both hit it on the head. No one cares about efx. And how many time are you really gonna use four channels I like be for real
True. I have the Rane one. Its not just for scratching. You can actually mix, blend, juggle etc.. I bought this because this controller is the closest to a real turntable. And i scratch a lot. But i do mix and dj parties. Its perfect. Dont need 4 channels and fx. It does the job. And it gets me paid to do parties
True im all about the creativity without using sound effects, i’ve only used 1200s but I need something portable and rane one might be it.
The scratching is funny. Hahahaha
Great controller if you can find one
I know right?! Short supplies these days.
why do all controllers have the pads below the platter instead of above? especially if its a spinning platter model thats most likely marketed at DJs coming from turntables! that makes no sense to me. put the damn pads above the platter!
I know the numark MIXTRACK pro 2 has the pads above the jog wheels. Not sure about any other controller out there with pads above the platters though… They should make more though I agree with you👍
my biggest complaint is the shotty buttons that kinda work. there too small. I also hate the fact that the jump button are too close to the +/-. this makes accidentally pushing wrong buttons in the mix.
Ya I see what your saying there. Thanks for chiming in.
It's for everyone who have money
LOL. True
I know that you mean when blending house/edm tracks. I came from the Pioneer SX series and wanted to upgrade with these. The SX’s jog wheels are much easier to blend with because the “throws” are less. The Rane one’s platter movements are more spaced out meaning it takes a bit more work to blend two tracks together. But, using the pitch bend buttons does help. Otherwise for scratching, juggling stabs, this thing is excellent. I wish Rane or Serato would make the platter movements adjustable. If that makes any sense.
Exactly!!! Thanks for your input! Means a lot!
Huh? To each their own.
so once they make there money off everyone ..except me..lol they willl add all the other stuff they just want to hear all the pros and cons ..then they will make another one with everything ..lol
Basically what your saying is pretty much true. Thats how these companies make money
I don't own one controller need a rane one controller
You will love the Rane One
I'm old school DJ Technics 1200 was the best and Newmark Vestax Denton and Newmark was the first and techniques had that 12 inch records on a CDJ that moves around I got all the new control board that but that rain and I look at it like this all that s*** do the same thing is it just different software sound effect if you are a DJ and know how to mix you'll get paid it's all about good equipment and DJ
I agree 100%. Thanks for the comment
the rane one is not for djs who has never spun vinyl…
I agree with you on your statement. Thanks for watching
I got a question? I'm 51 years old and I come from the era of direct drive turntables and is thinking about getting back into djing, do you think I would like a ddj controller with motorized platters or the jog wheels? I never have used jog wheels so I'm asking for some legit advice on motorized platters VS jog wheels.
simply cause you are paying more, does not mean you upgraded, if fact it seems like you downgraded from something more advanced to something basic
Very true statement.. I still have my SZ so I’m really thinking on selling or not still.
Lol. This ain't no downgrade. This device has it all.
@@julzcez6669 its a downgrade, f you look at other controllers in the same price range the other controllers can do more, true they don't have spinning platters, but they have more features than this controller
@@randallsadams sure
No one talks about the sound quality
build quality of pioneeer is fukin dogshit, rane one is a tank
Bro, TRUST me the build quality of the One is TRASH. It's not the same Made in USA Rane.
They are skimping out on motherboard quality, EQ pot quality, upfaders, galvanized screws on the faceplate, the effect paddles deserve a lawsuit they're so flawed from an engineering level, etc. On my second one in two years and I baby the shit out of it and it still breaks and glitches out. Not professional grade at all
I agree the rane mixers/controllers compared to pioneer gear are built like tanks. Quality has changed a bit since after the Rane TTM-56s, but yes overall way more durable than pioneer and any other manufacturer for that matter!
the rane is no where near like turntables who ever buys this is stupid and just wasting money..real talk
I agree with you there's nothing like the real deal turntables but its not that bad for a smaller more compact version. @dj grooves have you tried it yet?
The horn sucks balls, it's old bro, it's like the guys who use evolve 50
