Great video! I've probably watched this 20 or more times while waiting on my Rane 70 to ship (pre-ordered in mid-April). I think your suggestion about holding SHIFT + Instant Doubles tab: to toggle between modes is on point! I've been posting that concept in all the Rane FB groups hoping it will gain more traction and be implemented in a future update!
@@lucaslovesyouiii There have been several updates since my original comment. Serato 2.6 allows you to midi map silent cue & sync where ever you want. The mixer has 32 user midi pads, which is plenty for customizing. Scratch Bank was also added.
I decided to go with the Rane after watching several reviews and comparing it to the S9 and the Reloop.. the deciding factor was the silent cue.. can’t wait to use it.. thank you for your review of the 3 units it helped me greatly
Cleveland, a great review as always. I currently own the 62 and never got the warm and fuzzies about the s9, but I do like the features and the layout of the 70. Thanks again!!
Love the review. One question - I have an S9 which I’ve used for a couple of years now. Is this worth an upgrade bearing in mind I have the budget for it? Does the feature set equate to a substantial upgrade?
I don't know if this helps, but my mentality for upgrading anything is asking myself if my current gear doesn't allow me to do what I would want it to, isn't operating to my standards anymore, or just broken. That helps me avoid the "shiny new thing" urge to spend money.
@ClevelandTerry great review 👍 That split cue on the 70 is nice. S9 is still my girl tho, why ..too long to explain plus some Rane mixer owners may disagree since they already paid way too much for their lap dance, i mean mixer lol. -MB
That’s a really silly argument. I also own 6 sets of technic 1200, 3 Rane 57, 4 Rane 62s, and 2 Pioneer S9s and a Pioneer S11. I’m not biased I’m educated.
@@ClevelandTerry your djm s11 vs 72mk2 begs to differ. You trashed the 72 and praised the djm 11. Even though the 72 sound quality is far superior to any pioneer gear
You clearly didn’t watch the video with an open mind. Also, I have absolutely raved about the Rane 70. I prefer it over the s7. If I don’t have that same opinion of the 72 and if I feel that the s11 is better than the 72 that is absolutely ok. Not sure what you are expecting. It’s an opinion. You choose what you want. Also, have you actually used all the products you are discussing or just spouting things you’ve heard or think you know? Far superior sound is not the case in the s11 vs 72.
Hey Cleveland Terry, great review! Since you use both Instant Doubles and Silent Cue, you can have the instant doubles buttons as silent cue and just double tap the Load knob for Instant Doubles.
Yes you can. I figured that out while shooting my S9 vs 70 video. They probably just shouldn’t have gave the buttons a name at all. Call them custom buttons or something else. I would have thought silent cue was a feature that’s new that they’d want to market but what do I know. I’ll change it when I reskin it lol.
@@ClevelandTerry You're right. They could have done better with the labeling. Really got to memorize the manual on this one! Glad the features are there though and yea, at least you can reskin it lol
Fire review bro! That phono input and auxiliary phase/turntable is golden for us. The phase dj remote not getting enough power, was actually adjusted with a firmware update awhile back on the 72. Yea they went backwards with it, but i heard it was messing with the charging of the remotes. I think they took it away for liability reasons
Great review as usual. I noticed you have pioneer turntables, are those PLX-1000s? Would love to know why you chose to go with PLX over 1200s? How does a review of PLX-1000 vs 1200s sound? I would like to see that.
I didn't really get all the complaints you were talking about. It looks like a solid mixer but I like the S9 and the 72 better. Nice work as always my guy.
Thanks for the Great Job on the review. This (MK II) is my first ever Rane product, I've used mostly Pioneer equipment and still do, but I was intrigued as Rane has a pretty good Rep! Now that you've Donne this review, Can you/Will you demo those review critiques/comments during a real live Play scenario?
After doing countless research between the S11, 72MK2 and the 70....ive decided to order the 70. Dont need all the bells and whistles that the 72 and the S11 has to offer. Coming from the behringer ddm4000 mixer and a SL2 box....i think i made a good choice.
adjusting pad sensitivity is great as im a bit of a basher because my old 68 had small stiff cue buttons.I often over do it when i use cue points so pad adjustment is really handy .Also brightness adjustment is cool.
How do you feel about the headphone control placement? Reminds of the old 05 Pro and how the headphone controls would get in the way and snag a finger on the way to the fader, especially when beat juggling. This is the one thing that holds me back about this mixer. Have you had any problems with that? Great review by the way.
Great thorough review man! do you miss having no slicer on the performance pads? is there any way that we can assign slicer into one of the user mode performance pads?
hey man, i love your reviews, I feel like up grading from a denon prime go to the sc6000 and maybe using a rane 70 , since i am not using a laptop at all and just using the denon prime dj platform should i get a 70 or is it worth to get a 72 mk2? thanks for the advice :)
great in depth video. agree with you on everything. dope mixer but definitely not better than a S9. and a S9 is +5 years here already and almost worldwide avail in clubs. so not worth it to invest in a mixer that is not offering anything more than the mixer that you’ll find 90% in a club
Great review. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you set Echo to Hold echo and you will get a repeating loop for as long as you want ? or does this fade out as well
Nice review. I think I will keep my 72, I like the silent cue and instant doubles and the fact that the loop feat. is on the face of the mixer. The next Gen. Rane mixer may add the things that were forgotten. For me its 72 for now. Peace... Keep up the good work
I wonder if the UsB/ Phase situation is the same case with the 70 A Trak edition. Did they upgrade the usb ports with enough power to play with Phase in the a trak edition ?
Subscribed. Love the review. Im curious though. no loop feature? I thought A Trak was demonstrating this feature on his instagram towards the end of March. The videos are up if you get a chance to check it out. He also loves talking about how the seventy is the best sounding mixer. How when it comes to audio, it is much better than the S9. Just curious about your thoughts on this. Thank you
I never said there wasn’t a loop feature. I was talking about the echo loop which can be done but you have to change multiple things to do what the s9 does easily.
If you had to pick between this or the reloop elite, what would you pick? Will be doing basic 2 channel house music mixing on vinyl in stand alone. Will also be learning to scratch and what not with serato
Great review , thanks a lot . Should I wait two months and get the 70 or should I buy a S9 now ? I found a very good deal on the S9 and I like it very much . Any suggestion ? Thank you
Dj Mac cool I hope you enjoy it. I’m still weighing things up. 70,S9 and reloop elite still in the mix. I’m tempted with the reloop because of the faders but hearing the pads are brittle and feel cheap. Please let me know what you think of the 70 when you’ve tested it!
Cleveland Terry cheers Terry I’ll check it out. I thought I was decided on a 70. This is my first new mixer in 20 years as I’m still rocking a vestax 06 pro with an innofader, which why all of a sudden I’m weary as people saying that it’s hard to get used to the mag faders when you’re an innofader type guy!
Hi man,, I’m wondering if i can add a midi controller as a complimentary device for my Rane Seventy mixer to control more than two decks in Serato DJ? I’m currenly using a rane seventy with a pair of twelve to control deck 1 and 2 and would like to add a midi controller to control the deck 3 and 4. I’m planning to map the midi controller as a deck transport control and also mixer control. As the Rane Seventy is just a two channel mixer, will it able to send all the decks (1-4) sound output into the mixer master output?
@@oliviergaridou8525 did you have issues with the buttons. I really love the reloop elite. I recently got a used one but had to return it because the load button didn't work properly. Yiu had to push it very hard to make sure it worked. Did you have the same issue with your buttons?
Great review, waiting for my Seventy to arrive in a couple of weeks. Will maybe try to make a video too :) - For the Phase USB power issue : maybe an Y USB cable using both ports can save you (like the ones we get with some hard drives) - I agree with you about the instant double/sync/silent cue quick switching with color code, maybe worth we submit that improvement request - What do you think about their loop cues implementation on the pads ? From what I understood it's different from the normal Cue points. I think it's confusing. I would expect to save them by tapping on an empty one and shift-delete them like normal cues. I'm quite relieved that you actually don't hate it as I'm receiving it soon :)
I have this mixer as well. While I do love it, my tension knob came undone and unscrewed, apparently I turned it too far to the left. Not sure if I should return it for an S9 or just get it serviced from Rane.
This isue with the Hub Usb Just break my heart 💔. Wtf rane! Another wtf is they didn’t include a dedicated loop section on the rane 72 mkii 🤦🏻♂️. Great video 🤘🏼
Le Green just a quick update. I changed my cable to one of those dedicated charge cables and now it works but in general it’s still underpowered. I used the reloop elite and didn’t require the additional cable. I have not used the new 72 yet. No loop section on the mk2. Wow.
I plug in Phase to that usb in the back of the mixer and I don’t get those dropouts...I have had them plugged in for weeks now no issues with the audio like you are experiencing. The only thing I get is the flickering LED charge indicators on the remotes when docked but when I take them off the dock and place them on the records, they are fine.
the usbs should really be there to power what ever you want to put in them .Its certainly possible to do this but i suspect that Rane was being a bit selfish and trying to make you only use them for its controllers ie the 12s,You are right its not a deal breaker but it is kind of taking the piss.
Hi, Question for you, how do you set the aux to be used for DVS in the control panel as you said? I want to use phase there exactly how you said you do but all I hear is a tone when I switch it there the way I’m setup now. Thanks,
Vladimir Abreu I definitely agree but for me I just like the presentation of it the 72. It’s also custom friendly with them pad modes. Plus, That screen does something to me every time I turn it on! 😅
So I really want a good 3 channel Serato mixer with pads on it and the only mixer I can find is the Mixars Quattro, but I don't like the pad arrangement and the efx and some of the other features. So would connecting the DDJ-SB2 (or some other controller/mixer) via usb, be best way to get more channels?
Actually I think I want to use a CDJ as a 3rd table. Can I use a CDJ connected usb to the laptop, then the rca's out to the Seventy Session, then use the Session knob as a fader? Also how would I use decks 1 & 2 on the Seventy and the CDJ as deck 3 in Serato?
@@ClevelandTerry that would've been nice probably but you don't need a usb port for phase. Not from the mixer and not even from your laptop is my point, as the drawback mentioned was not having enough usb ports or having to use one from the laptop. Not sure how well it works with a hub but that might also be an option. You need the usb initially for set up but after that you don't. I only bring it up because it was toward the beginning. Appreciate the review though. I've been trying to watch all the different mixer reviews out there to decide whether to upgrade my mixer or go the controller route.
sooo bummed I canceled my pre-order because of Covid and now no one has them.. word on the street is at least 30-90 days or more before any retailers have them again.
I have Numark Scratch and i have limited space where i am so my computer on its stand covers the top end of the mixer .I will have to move things around if im to be able to access all of this mixer.
Using mine with a pair of sc5000m's and I actually love it. I got it instead of a Prime mixer because I'm more of a 2-channel mixer kind of DJ also the fact that it has Hardware effects that I could use when in Standalone mode. The one frustration that I had was the USB ports, oh yes they are not strong enough to handle the sc5000m's. I've actually had to use the USB hub on the 5000m linking one player to another and then a master line into the computer. I actually tried a powered USB hub and that only made things worse. For some reason the powered USB hub made the sound distorted. So now I can DJ with Serato and in Standalone mode and the rane 70 is working just fine, my only issue now is DJing using a streaming service namely Tidal, my internet connection is not strong enough my router is on the second floor and I DJ in the basement. Once I find a way to extend my Wi-Fi I will be golden as the setup is working fine.
Look at a ethernet over powerline adapter kits, uses the romex AC power lines in your house to send data over that copper and converts to ethernet at either plug end, I use this as my DJ lab is in my bedroom at the opposite end of my apartment. Only caveat is that you need to have it plugged direct into the outlet and not going through a power strip, but so far seems to work fairly well. TP-Link makes a decent affordable one, or at least they used to. I'm sure other brands have them as well. It sure beats stringing a cable and/or drilling and cutting into walls, and also beats wifi unless you pay for really nice mesh system like Google or Linksys offers, which are a lot more pricey.
Hello, I would need technical advice regarding the RANE 72 to find out if this mixer is compatible with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 (latest update) The drivers available on the RANE site are they functional under Catalina, as well as the firmware update 1.3.2 of the mixer. Is all this compatible? Thanks in advance 😊👍
What to do I got rane 12 mk2 and rane 72 mk2 it load song up on my Mac but won’t play it played if I hold my cue down and my cue is red need help please
Not sure if this answers your question, but it has a tension knob which makes the fader more or less stiff. That tension knob does not affect the cut-in distance.
I don’t understand why they didn’t put a hi pass filter option on the mic inputs. That was a major gripe with the 72. Playing on bass heavy systems with someone who is not experienced on a microphone was plosives city. Turn up the tone knob then you get high frequency feedback.
So my question is will the usb hub work with my dennon SC5000? I think I’ll be good but my rane 70 been back order since the Obama administration so I can’t see for myself!
Got a question..my left side of my rane seventy is not allowing me to change the loop measurements on the fly...It’s only allow me to change it from 1/32 to 4 but not anymore...My right deck doesn’t have that problem. I’m not sure if it’s a software setting issue or a hardware issue? If anyone has a solution I would appreciate...Thanks
Well i must be honest... I do not know what to buy... I like the ELITE a lot... Because I understand the ELITE better ... Are the Innofader are good as the faders on this mixer?
DJ Sam Smite dicer is closer to my left scratch hand for cue triggers. Also my last mixer was the 57 mkii so the pads were like tic tacs and I am use to the dicers.
Hey... I'm Tryna use my second USB output, for obs streaming, Problem I'm having is When I stream I'm getting the vynle noise tone and the music played together, At the same time, So I'm Tryna find a way, on how to cancell out the vynle noise tone. Any help will be great
I also had the same q, glad to see this got answered. So yeah you would have to use toggle switch then. Main difference between this and 62 as far as sampler is, instead of a FlexFX button its a Settings situation since there's no dedicated button for Sampler FX on mixer itself, which can still work.
Deal breakers for me 1. No BPM autodetect for playing from vinyl or even the SC5000s for the hardware FX! 2. No CUELOOP (which I have grown to like). They seem to push tone play like we are all threestyle DJs. I’m going to wait to see if there is going to be an S9 MK2.
Got the seventy and y adapter today, tried it for 10 minutes with the phase...so far no drop, units stayed true to bpm. I will be putting it through the paces as I learn the mixer. I think it’s good with the adapter.
Cleveland Terry what a bummer. Would love to do a switch from phase to regular vinyl on the fly but that’s not possible with the 72 and Phase unless you put a Y jack there. Such a shame.
One figure sold me. Being able to record my mix and talk on the mic without it being introduced into the recording.

I like the tension knob right on the front and the seperate loop functions.
The way the knob regulates the tension is by having a piece of sponge place pressure onto the fader

This isue with the Hub Usb Just break my heart 💔. Wtf rane! Another wtf is they didn’t include a dedicated loop section on the rane 72 mkii 🤦🏻♂️. Great video 🤘🏼
Le Green just a quick update. I changed my cable to one of those dedicated charge cables and now it works but in general it’s still underpowered. I used the reloop elite and didn’t require the additional cable. I have not used the new 72 yet. No loop section on the mk2. Wow.
cool mixer..Battle mixers are not my first choice,yet i would surely consider a Rane if I wanted to create another setup...
I like the microphone features on the bottom left or right.
I plug in Phase to that usb in the back of the mixer and I don’t get those dropouts...I have had them plugged in for weeks now no issues with the audio like you are experiencing. The only thing I get is the flickering LED charge indicators on the remotes when docked but when I take them off the dock and place them on the records, they are fine.
Well I can’t answer why yours work and mind don’t. That’s very strange.
the usbs should really be there to power what ever you want to put in them .Its certainly possible to do this but i suspect that Rane was being a bit selfish and trying to make you only use them for its controllers ie the 12s,You are right its not a deal breaker but it is kind of taking the piss.
It does charge a phone. I have charged my phone on my 72
Hi,
Question for you, how do you set the aux to be used for DVS in the control panel as you said?
I want to use phase there exactly how you said you do but all I hear is a tone when I switch it there the way I’m setup now.
Thanks,
I only get a tone signal on mine when I plug it into the Aux with the DVS Input being set to Aux in the settings.
Great Review... I have a 72 and I just still feel it’s a better “s9”.... the 70 is like if the 72 & s9 had a baby. 😂
quite a big baby though ;)
Jay Neural indeed 😂😂😂😂
I don’t know man I feel like 72 & 70 is a straight rip off of the s9 in my opinion
Vladimir Abreu I definitely agree but for me I just like the presentation of it the 72. It’s also custom friendly with them pad modes. Plus, That screen does something to me every time I turn it on! 😅
DJ Curt2Nice lol
So I really want a good 3 channel Serato mixer with pads on it and the only mixer I can find is the Mixars Quattro, but I don't like the pad arrangement and the efx and some of the other features. So would connecting the DDJ-SB2 (or some other controller/mixer) via usb, be best way to get more channels?
Actually I think I want to use a CDJ as a 3rd table.
Can I use a CDJ connected usb to the laptop, then the rca's out to the Seventy Session, then use the Session knob as a fader?
Also how would I use decks 1 & 2 on the Seventy and the CDJ as deck 3 in Serato?
I don't know if someone mentioned it but Phase doesn't need a usb port. You can power it by plugging it into a regular outlet
The USB ports should have had enough power.
@@ClevelandTerry that would've been nice probably but you don't need a usb port for phase. Not from the mixer and not even from your laptop is my point, as the drawback mentioned was not having enough usb ports or having to use one from the laptop. Not sure how well it works with a hub but that might also be an option. You need the usb initially for set up but after that you don't. I only bring it up because it was toward the beginning. Appreciate the review though. I've been trying to watch all the different mixer reviews out there to decide whether to upgrade my mixer or go the controller route.
sooo bummed I canceled my pre-order because of Covid and now no one has them.. word on the street is at least 30-90 days or more before any retailers have them again.
I have Numark Scratch and i have limited space where i am so my computer on its stand covers the top end of the mixer .I will have to move things around if im to be able to access all of this mixer.
Using mine with a pair of sc5000m's and I actually love it. I got it instead of a Prime mixer because I'm more of a 2-channel mixer kind of DJ also the fact that it has Hardware effects that I could use when in Standalone mode. The one frustration that I had was the USB ports, oh yes they are not strong enough to handle the sc5000m's. I've actually had to use the USB hub on the 5000m linking one player to another and then a master line into the computer. I actually tried a powered USB hub and that only made things worse. For some reason the powered USB hub made the sound distorted. So now I can DJ with Serato and in Standalone mode and the rane 70 is working just fine, my only issue now is DJing using a streaming service namely Tidal, my internet connection is not strong enough my router is on the second floor and I DJ in the basement. Once I find a way to extend my Wi-Fi I will be golden as the setup is working fine.
Look at a ethernet over powerline adapter kits, uses the romex AC power lines in your house to send data over that copper and converts to ethernet at either plug end, I use this as my DJ lab is in my bedroom at the opposite end of my apartment. Only caveat is that you need to have it plugged direct into the outlet and not going through a power strip, but so far seems to work fairly well. TP-Link makes a decent affordable one, or at least they used to. I'm sure other brands have them as well. It sure beats stringing a cable and/or drilling and cutting into walls, and also beats wifi unless you pay for really nice mesh system like Google or Linksys offers, which are a lot more pricey.
Hello, I would need technical advice regarding the RANE 72 to find out if this mixer is compatible with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 (latest update)
The drivers available on the RANE site are they functional under Catalina, as well as the firmware update 1.3.2 of the mixer. Is all this compatible? Thanks in advance 😊👍
I’m on Catalina with no problems on my Rane 70
Nice review! Thanks!
What to do I got rane 12 mk2 and rane 72 mk2 it load song up on my Mac but won’t play it played if I hold my cue down and my cue is red need help please
Thanks T honest feedback.
Great review! Simple like that.
Hello, would you be able to tell me the shortest crossfader cut in distance. I see it can be adjusted but no one has said what to. Thank you.
Not sure if this answers your question, but it has a tension knob which makes the fader more or less stiff. That tension knob does not affect the cut-in distance.
I don’t understand why they didn’t put a hi pass filter option on the mic inputs. That was a major gripe with the 72. Playing on bass heavy systems with someone who is not experienced on a microphone was plosives city. Turn up the tone knob then you get high frequency feedback.
I don’t disagree. Weakest part of the mixer.
So my question is will the usb hub work with my dennon SC5000? I think I’ll be good but my rane 70 been back order since the Obama administration so I can’t see for myself!
Got a question..my left side of my rane seventy is not allowing me to change the loop measurements on the fly...It’s only allow me to change it from 1/32 to 4 but not anymore...My right deck doesn’t have that problem. I’m not sure if it’s a software setting issue or a hardware issue? If anyone has a solution I would appreciate...Thanks
Not sure why you have a loop issue that fades in volume. I purchased this mixer a few weeks ago and my loops go forever until i turn them off.
There was a firmware update that fixed that issue.
But is it a worthy replacement for the S9??
I’ll stick with my DDJ-SX3 for now...great review
i do like my sx3, its about 2 months old. im very happy. thanks for the awesome videos.
Awesome Video... Thank you Great video
can you do a review on the reloop elite mixer also; as a comparison....
Pink Panta if they send me one, I’ll do a review. Still waiting on my contact to respond.
When they do, i would really like to see if i can plug a rane 12 into their usb ports and still use Serato and the Elite also....
Can the Rane 70 store music ? Is serato available without computer on a mixer?
No
hey! how can i get the rane sixty two crossfaders to buy i need three please
Google it? Haven’t touched a Rane 62 in like 8 years. 😀
Well i must be honest... I do not know what to buy... I like the ELITE a lot... Because I understand the ELITE better ... Are the Innofader are good as the faders on this mixer?
I prefer the innofader but you can put an innofader into this mixer.
@@ClevelandTerry Thank you Sir. For your time and your reply.
Great review.
can you use the mixers internal effects on samples when in sample mode??
Yes.
Where is the backspin effect for th e 70?
May have been asked, will a dicer work in the usbs on the back?
Good question. I don’t see why one would need to use dicers with this mixer. The cue pads are amazing on the seventy.
DJ Sam Smite dicer is closer to my left scratch hand for cue triggers. Also my last mixer was the 57 mkii so the pads were like tic tacs and I am use to the dicers.
Gabe FM I hear you on that lol
Hey...
I'm Tryna use my second USB output, for obs streaming,
Problem I'm having is
When I stream I'm getting the vynle noise tone and the music played together,
At the same time,
So I'm Tryna find a way, on how to cancell out the vynle noise tone.
Any help will be great
What mixer are you using?
@@ClevelandTerry hey bro, I'm using the Rane 70
And the $1,500 question- is the Rane70 worth upgrading from the S9?
If you have an S9 you’re good. Save yourself $1500. But if you are in the market for a new mixer, then the seventy is a good choice.
Can you use the effects with samplers, using the aux output like the 62 mixer?
Yes you can.
How? i don’t see any special button to press in order to uses the effects like the one in the 62
Set the sampler to master or channels 1 or 2 in serato.
Cleveland Terry if i set it to master do i have move the toggle switch every time ?
I also had the same q, glad to see this got answered. So yeah you would have to use toggle switch then. Main difference between this and 62 as far as sampler is, instead of a FlexFX button its a Settings situation since there's no dedicated button for Sampler FX on mixer itself, which can still work.
Deal breakers for me 1. No BPM autodetect for playing from vinyl or even the SC5000s for the hardware FX! 2. No CUELOOP (which I have grown to like). They seem to push tone play like we are all threestyle DJs. I’m going to wait to see if there is going to be an S9 MK2.
No auto bpm on records is wack but still solid mixer
Have you tried to use a usb power enhancer y cable to run phase?
Funny you should say that. I just bought one. Waiting on delivery
Cleveland Terry just got tracking on my seventy and ordered one that should be here on the same day...if I get mine first I’ll let you know
Got the seventy and y adapter today, tried it for 10 minutes with the phase...so far no drop, units stayed true to bpm. I will be putting it through the paces as I learn the mixer. I think it’s good with the adapter.
Cleveland Terry thanks for the heads up on the usb, that would have drove me crazy.
Proper review
The mixer faceplate looks so “cheap” looking do you have a skin on or something? Or maybe it’s dusty...
DjTecniq crappy overhead camera
did anone choose this over the s11
Lots of people. I own both and they are both great.
@@ClevelandTerry thanks bro and which fader os better though?
@@junyah1976I prefer pioneers faders over rane. I swapped out my rane crossfader for an Innofader
@@ClevelandTerry thanks man-keep up the good work
yeah its awkward having to go into screen settings to change things quickly.A hardware solution where possible is always better
I wish they would do a firmware update on the 72 so I can use the aux inputs for Phase.
OneCrazyDJ it may not be possible. When I switch my aux, there’s a noticeable click like something is switching internally.
Cleveland Terry what a bummer. Would love to do a switch from phase to regular vinyl on the fly but that’s not possible with the 72 and Phase unless you put a Y jack there. Such a shame.
