If there was ever a spiritual sequel to "The Wedding Singer" called "The Wedding DJ", you need to be the protagonist. And that scene with your wife needs to be in it exactly as is. 😂 Great video!
I’m in!
Congratulations on your new equipment and welcome back to the Serato family. The place to be.
you're vids are always entertaining, but this one has to be my favorite. keep it up bro.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love these reviews informative and funny but to the point keep it up and thank you!!!
That’s exactly my goal, thanks!
Half the time I don't even care what your reviewing or vlogging I come for the comedy and banter. And this one delivered OMG lol. I feel you on stems Ive been using them the last few years and it change the way I mix I cant go back haha. That a bold move going from one software to another changing controllers its a lot. I moved from Serato to VDJ all because of stems that's been a learning curve. One day I want to give Rekordbox a try see what that has to offer I'm not locked in to one software or brand I try as much of it as I can.
I love hearing that bro, that’s what I’m here for!
I think it keeps this job fresh, at least for me. New stuff gets me excited to keep going.
Making the same switch from Prime 2 to Rev 5 but just on VDJ, which I already use with my Prime 2. Majority of the positives and negatives you mentioned are exactly what I was thinking when making the switch. Glad I’m making the jump, seems like it’s a net positive for sure.
Another brilliant video. Loving your sense of humour mate. 🤣👊🏼
Faaaaarkin brilliant.
🤙
The stems skit is amazing lma😂
This was a very real review. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Salute! Great video and agreed I ordered my DDJ-REV5 on 8/15/23 I just got my Shipping Notification from today 11/2/23 I should receive it by the weekend I’m soooo excited!
I have the Rev1 and my Flagship is the RANE ONE. Also I NEVER use the Mic Inputs on my controllers I’m running everything to my external Yamaha mixer.
Wonderful video!
Excited for you to get yours! Thanks bro!!
Very entertaining overview 🦾
Thanks bro!
The gloves got me rollin' 🤣🤣🤣
Almost didn’t happen lol
0:59 I randomly clicked on this vid since I got the Rev over the week. Did not expect some comedic relief in the middle. SUBSCRIBED asap
That is the most replayed part of the video lol. Thanks for joining!
You and Amy are the best! 😄
Can’t believe she agreed to it lol
new sub. love the transparency
Thanks!
This was funny and informative 😅
Your wife being game to do fun shit like that is AWESOME.
She’s always been like this!
@@AaronStrawn Wife win!!
😂😂. Great vid bud.
Very funny. And good review. Cheers
Thanks bro

Exactly. They can earn their own money
Lmao! Enjoyed this review. Got my Rev 5 on order cause let’s face it stems has changed the way we all DJ and having those dedicated stem buttons at my fingertips helps.
Side note, also have the Rev 7 but the Rev 5 will prob be used more and keep my R7 as backup at home.
Thanks bro!
Was a pleasure to meet you and your wife down in Atlantic City
Same bro!
Got the rev 1 and use stems all day on Serato but use it thru my laptop so can’t wait to get a rev 5 cause I’m those buttons will make my transition so much better 😤😤
Dedicated buttons are awesome
Kudos on the acting skit routine, Hilarious!
😂
Loved the white rubber gloves. Freaky and weird, yes, but somehow nice 😂
Does the bpm bar counting function on the ddj rev 5 really help with easy mixing and blending music with different bpms ? Plus scratching is no problem for me and my main concern is being able to blend and mix bpms on the fly during gigs and parties 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽so please let me know your opinion on that particular function.
I would say the auto BPM function is pretty dope when mixing. For me, I have used it lots of times and it's nice to have that pull the bpm up or down while I can do other things for the mix
Stems are definitely a game changer and getting better! Whats your take on Virtual DJ vs Serato?
Tried VDJ, it was like Windows to me
@@AaronStrawn lol well isn't that a GOOD thing? 😂
i just got mine the other day ..... leaving my prime 2 behind to :)
When he said "SYNC" and it got censored but FUCK didn't 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I have debates with fellow dj's about that topic 😂🤣
Dude that was funny as shhh!! 🤣🤣 Great vid man, keep em comin! Oh and the controller is cool too. 😂 Not sure I'd dish $1100 for it, but dope none the less. Stem envy is real, I'm seeing a therapist about it now. I'll have to upgrade my laptop and then I'll be in the game.
Seeing a therapist 😂
Why wouldn’t you trust the Mic’s inputs? Asking because I wanted to get this one good reason is because of Double Mic hook ups. What could happen if I use both mic inputs?
I havent had any luck with the built in mic inputs. They can't be EQ'd and Feedback/distort real easy. I always use an external mixer for the mics
Yooooo!!! Your wife is a Trooper!!!!
She almost didn’t let me do the gloves lol. She’s the best
I have the REV5 as well and love it. But being a great head like yourself, the FLX10 keeps creeping into my thoughts. Curious if you considered the FLX10 before settling down on the REV5?
Not really. I’m not vibing with a 4 channel controller and that thing has so many buttons lol. I’m still in love with the rev5. Only upgrade I might do is the rev7
@@AaronStrawn yeah the REV7 definitely looks awesome and yes the FLX10 looks way too busy and cramped with all those buttons. Thanks and keep up the great work on all the awesome videos! *I meant “gear head” not “great head” in my first post LOL 😂👍
I’m not a “fighting” dj either lol. I think I’d prefer the pitch faders in the lower right like on cdj’s. I could see how someone who’s used to cdj’s and s9 or s11 would be slightly annoyed.
what case did you get , I'm looking for one for my rev 5
you didnt have to get a new how ever you would of got adapter but I understand it I did get a Macbook pro before the rev 5
I bought a magma case from Hollywood DJ. It's the red and black one
As a wedding DJ, is there reasons that it's worth paying more for the Flx10?? I KNOW the differences between the 2, but if I go Rev 5...am I going to be missing anything that the Flx 10 offers? The only time I use more than 2 channels is for cocktail hour with Spotify which I THINK I can use the aux input on the Rev 5 for.
I like that the Rev 5 has paddles, stem buttons and 2 channel. That's why I picked this one. I would weigh out which features you really want and go that route.
@@AaronStrawn Thx! I went with the Rev 5. I tend to research tooo much and just want someone to give me an answer LOL.
I picked up a Hercules Inpulse T7 to try out moving platters and stems. The moving platters are actually great but the the knobs feel too cheap to me. Still not sold on Serato and learning how to use stems. Not 100% sold yet but it is cool.
Well my trial has ended but I order Pitch N Time while I’m the trial. I lot won’t let me add Serato Pro because it says I already have a subscription and there’s no way to change it in my account. I’m completely unable to pause my controller. This doesn’t bode well for Serato. Man I’d be pissed if something like this happened at a gig. Hopefully shouldn’t after purchasing but still.
I miss the preview ability in Engine
Got this controller and used it for 2 weddings... I hate the software FX on Serato. It needs hardware on-board FX like the Rev 7.
FX ain’t great, I agree. But it’s good for what I need
Dude, so funny man. Nice controller but ill stay with my Rane 4!
Thanks!
My lights don’t cut in in the paddles how do you activate them ??
You mean the fx lights? They blink for me when the paddle is activated. Didn’t have to adjust a setting for that
I've been playing with stems since VirtualDJ had it and I never been dj-ing the same since, so I know the feeling.
Luv the sense of humor in this review btw
Mac Book Pro M1 won't work with stems?
I think it does.
LOL the rubber gloves
Awesome
I was waiting for your review on this thing because I always love your "I don't give a shit" attitude lol. I hate reviews that just go over features and specs. Yawn... so boring lol. Glad you're liking the new controller!
They teach ya, I’m tryin to make you laugh with as little info as possible lol
Prime 4+ has stems on Engine OS...?!
It does, but I don't want a 4 channel controller
I think you should be okay to use your mic input on your board. I have a pioneer DDJ SZ that I bought back in 2014 and I use my mic input for for all the gigs since then. Also the price point for the rev 5 in my opinion is fair considering the fact that I paid $2, 500 for my SZ and rolling case. Lastly if you like stems, you should give virtual DJ a try. I use it with my SZ but the effects built in work with any an every controller.
Btw, The cutscene with your wife and the "SYNC " bleep is genius editing. 😎
The gloves???😂😂😂
😆😆😆
stems are on denon prime 4+
Yep, didn’t want a 4 channel
no internal fx is a deal breaker for me, this would have been a near perfect controller if it had them
That’s fair. Which effects do you use the most?
Pro Stems
Can it run Djay on iOS?
I don't think so
Is rev5 newer or rev7?
Rev 5 is newer
I'm getting ready to sell my DDJ-1000 to purchase a Rev5. I'm a wedding dj as well and curious now that you've used the Rev5, are you happy with it still and will you continue to use it?
I do really like it, been using it since this video. I do miss the all in one controller sometimes.
@@AaronStrawn Thanks for the feedback and thanks for making such great videos!!!
@@AaronStrawn one time purchase ONLY, THE REV 5 or HERCULES INPULSE T7
@@ignoranceisnotatrend4669 Rev 5
@@AaronStrawn please help me understand something, what's the purpose of jog wheels and is the dj work load more easier with jog wheels or moving platters? Please explain, I'm really struggling between choosing the Hercules T7 or the rev5,. I love the layout of the Hercules t7 but I know that the rev5 will create a better djing work flow, but if you don't mind I really appreciate you explaining the jog wheels 💯💯👍🏽
Hahaha, loved that!
What case did you get for it?
Got one from Hollywood DJ.
Which one case ?
Btw your hilarious 😂
Thanks bro, glad you had fun!
Man, why not just use virtual dj to save some money in transition costs and get better stem performance?
Tried it, and I wasn't totally onboard. Nothing against VDJ, some very cool features that are better than Serato. But in reality, I wanted a new controller
@@AaronStrawn VDJ works with the Rev 5 in case you have a change of heart. ;)
It's called Stemvy
Yes it is
Yes loops should be knobs!!! Not buttons!!!!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Missed the opp to call it ‘stemvy’ 😢
Lol
I know this guy in real life
Love glove is not actually…never mind.
Lmao
Serato effect suck. Pioneer should do one with on board effect.
They're not great
I was kind of sad that I had to ruin your 69th Thumbs Up with my 70th. ;) great (not a) review.
@4:12 you’re a loving DJ not a fighting DJ
lol, you caught that
Why didn’t you just get the rev-7 and be done with it? Now you’re going to have to spend another $2G and you know it lol
Probably…dammit!
@@AaronStrawn once you try the rev-7 jog wheels there’s no going back to the plasticky rev5 haha. Also top notch pre-amp for 2 mics and auxiliary so you can dump your external mixer. Simplifies your set up and cable management.
@@Realdjheisenbergi have the Rev 7 and while the mic inputs sound good i still suggest an ext mixer for bigger events. Better headroom and mic audio imo.
SY****NC 🤣🤣🤣
YT knows what’s up lol
Tidal & Stems doesn't work with Serato, Virtual Dj bro. What are you gonna do buy all that Tik Tok crap?
It does. Been using tidal/stems for all my 2023 events
@@Realdjheisenberg how could that be. I had 3 gigs back to back last weekend and it didn't work. Are you in the USA
@@erniestvmovielocations yes Chicago (not that it matters). I’ve been using Rev7, midi-mapped STEMS on the instant scratch keys, and Tidal exclusively. Never had a problem. Only thing you can’t do is record your set but that’s true of tidal even without stems.
@@Realdjheisenberg that's impossible
ua-cam.com/users/livenOAfiK8lS9A?si=TZTHR6mx4zOy3AmK
@@Realdjheisenberg btw I like your name
You used SYNC???
Shameful 😂😂😂
Shhhhhhhhhhh!!
SEPARATE THE VOCALS ON WANNABE!!! ha
I'm a Stems fan myself but to drop $3400 just for Stems plus the hassle of transitioning your library is nonsensical. If it was all about the stems then Virtual DJ's stems dominate Serato's plus VDJ integrates flawlessly with Prime 2. There's nothing you can do on Serato that can't be done on VDJ & if it makes a damn difference, they have a Serato skin for VDJ that makes it damn near indistinguishable.
I can literally see you struggling trying to convince yourself that it was worth spending that cash for stems. Trying to justify it by breaking it down part for part. First of all, those jogwheels are nothing like CDJ jogs which are mechanical while the Rev 5 jogs are capacitive as are the ones on Prine 2. Pioneer pads are great but Denon pads are the same ones found on Akai MPC which are 2nd to none. I can't argue the Magvel but at the end if the day you sacrificed a premium flagship 2 channel standalone/controller & on board FX for a entry level controller with a better crossfader & spent $3400 to do it.... that's nuts! Spending that much to go backwards.
Sync button is a sin. Can’t call yourself a dj using that crap lol
Oh boy!
Rev5 case ideas I recommend this - ua-cam.com/video/Lh-DShbXwXg/v-deo.htmlsi=bDanwYiLw1IrGS9Y
ALERT. I need to do another video.
Now I noticed after DJ'ING for about 2 hours. When trying to activate Stems on left deck, it loads a random song from your library. THIS may be a BIGGER issue and JUST finding this out...
The firmware update does NOT resolve this issue while using USB port A.
