Any significant difference not having the built in effects on the rane ? I’m debating on trying out the rane one, I currently have the srt. But reading and watching the reviews the rane doesn’t have built in effects. Obviously it does have the echo out and reverb I’m assuming with the knobs an stuff but idk how different it will be
I Tried both units and I went with the Rev 7 because im more of a turntable guy plus I like how the REV 7 is spaced out as its not to cramped up altogether like the RANE 1 where everything is too close and you can accidentally press the wrong button as I'm coming off from the DDJ-SX2 but been using turntables forever, but I would say 95% I went with the REV 7 is actually the mixer it has everything you need even though I don't own a S9 OR S11 this is interesting, thinking of upgrading to a S11 to my turntables 1200 MK5... Dope review by the way enjoyed it. Thanks BUNN
My primary controller journey since I've started DJing in 2011: Mixtrack Pro MK1 -> Pioneer DDJ WeGo3 -> Pioneer DDJ SR2 -> Pioneer DDJ SX3 -> Rane One (With back-up controllers being the Hercules Starlight -> Reloop Ready). I've thoroughly enjoyed the transition to motorized platters and having the feeling of turntables. I've DJ'ed some on battle style set ups, so it's not extremely foreign, but definitely a difference. I appreciate the approach of considering the practicality of the controller. I won't lie, the raised legs are among top 3 reasons I love my Rane One. I've come to rely on that space since I'm often in clubs and/or my facade/table set up is not space friendly for a coffin with a shelf. So that newfound space is now something I don't want to live without now, haha. Good video and approach to both units. Markers of a phenomenal time for DJ controllers, and the direction forward for them as well. Edit: ALSO, a controller with an IEC power hook up is incredibly clutch and I never want to know life without it on a DJ controller haha.
Thanks for the review. I've been using the Sx2 and 3 for years now and have been thinking about getting a new controller. I would have never considered the Rane but now you've got me thinking...
Great review and love the honesty on both of the machines. I am currently using a pioneer sb3 and it has been great. From your review, i hope that one of these days i will be able to afford the ddj rev7 considering i am a scratch dj. Everything looks nice on the controller, from the knobs to the wheels. Great works Joe Bunn👏🏼
Nice one Joe! Don’t want this to come off the wrong way, I watch a ton of YT vids, Versus vids, full gear breakdowns etc, and I really appreciate your approach here. It was a fresh look at getting the gear home and experiencing it. And the big nod to our mobile dj industry of course!
I really appreciate your honesty in your videos. Personally I'm a Denon man. I have the Prime 4 but Man do I wish The Prime 4 had rotating platters. for those of us who started out on turntables it would be the ultimate. I have tried both of these and was very surprised by the Rev 7 . but I didn't get enough time to decide if I had a preference between the 2. Keep it up. as a guy who has been DJing for over 20 years myself. I enjoy when I see a REAL DJ do a review
The Rane one is basically a two channel Numark NS7. It uses all of the technology from the NS7 including the exact same motor drives from the NS7ii. Now that InMusic owns Akai,Rane,Denon and of course, Numark, of which they have discontinued. It is only natural that they will pull together the best technology within their range. I have just purchased the Pioneer Rev seven after using Numark NS7 for the last 11 years. Part of me wishes I had brought the Rane as the build quality is far better than the pioneer. I know and trust the Engineering’s have used it for so long without so much as a glitch. I come from the era of turntables DJ and clubs throughout the 80s 90s and still now. I still use an NS7ii to this day. I only upgraded because of the stems capability. I still have my S9 & 1210s and that is also another reason I went with the Rev 7 being that the mixer is similar in so many ways.
I would love to have that Rane one now as you are even me quite used to pioneer equipments but this time Rane has done the Poineer's Job. It was very informative video Joe. Thank you
@@junyah1976 I haven’t test the Rev 7 yet I felt like lost sheep after unboxing just looking at it . I rebox it and put it away. Hopefully one day I’ll feel confident enough to give it a try. I’m currently using my rane one and I absolutely love it 🥰🤣
Great review, I like it because of your honesty and not trying to sell it or more lean to one brand over the other. I myself being a mobile dj as well appreciated the fact you pointed out one important thing and that was if coming from ttb and being using the in battle style the rv7 would be at home. I have been battling which controller to get since I have using ttb battle style and none of dj who do reviews ever made that simple point that you made especially coming from another mobile dj in regards to be using ttb. Thank you joe for always bringing content and bring honest about it.
I had seen a video or 2 of yours before, but really enjoyed this one. I have been DJing for quite some time, have never went and bought "quality" turntables, but these days wouldn't want to carry those and crates of vinyl around anyhow... I've messed about with all the software options at least a little, and may someday move towards separates or a standalone with Engine, but for now I'm a Serato user and really love that platform. I currently use a Denon MC7000, and it's a great unit. I've been wanting to add a Denon player to my kit, and eventually would like SOMETHING with a moving jog, so I've been debating on adding the SC6000M or just a regular 6000...this would eventually be paired with something like a Rev7 or Prime 4 ... I'm not a big fan of Record box...and also don't think Engine has quite gotten there yet for a main platform that suits my style, I really love Serato. I am kinda leaning now towards the Rev7, and a SC6000. The player would be for backup and certain occasions, as well as for requests using Tidal (prefer to keep the Laptop offline) ... the other option would be a 6000M to get accustomed to motorized jogs.... Which player do you think I should add to my current kit, motorized or non? Should that depend on which main controller/unit I plan to end up with later, or should I disconnect these two decisions from each other ? As far as the 2 mixers shown here, the Rev7 is the clear winner for me, the jog screens, silent cue, hardware effects, ability to use 2 mics and Aux at the same time, etc... definitely puts this well beyond the Rane One for me.... I frequently use the 2 mics and Aux all at the same time (karaoke) ... and would really like the ability to add effects besides filter to external inputs....so there's a few reasons the Rev7 wins out.... I have found ONE downside that I guess is somewhat just part of going 2ch vs 4ch... not having those extra channels, or at least a CUE for the aux input... having a 2ch battle mixer layout, but having a more robust aux would somewhat turn it into a 2+1 kind of mixer. At least the features on the Rev make it more like a full featured 2ch mixer, vs the Rane which is basically a Serato controller, with very limited features as far as being a mixer for external sources... I really wanted to like the Rane and get stuck in with motorized jogs, but it just didn't fit my workflow.... but I do want to try scratch practice on something that isn't static platters, and I think this winter I'm definitely going to end up buying SOME new kit, whether that is a Denon player, a Prime 4, a Rev 7, or...? Not sure.... maybe I should wait until after NAMM to decide? Thanks for the content, liked and subbed and will go check out your channel some more soon. Cheers...
Hey I am going to buy the Rev 7 I had the dj 1000 SRT I see in your video I will have to practice to adjust to that new difference with the mixer. I love the layout on the Rane and the type of input jacks at the back of it I wish pioneer had copy that.
I am about to upgrade to the Rev 7 or the Rane one. Currently I have the DDJ Rev1. And I a have a lot of events lined up next year. Thanks for the honest review on both now time to decide.
Hey Joe. I'm buying the rane one coming from the ddj 1000. The rane one is currently on special in price. I have to learn to use the rotating platter and serato. ...Great video
I had the money to get either but, went with the Rane One. I like the functionality of the Rev7 but, have heard that after a lil usage, the paint comes off the faceplate around the crossfader. It’s a minor detail though 👍🏽
I love my rain one but I’m still having trouble fine-tuning the effects. It would be nice if they were on board effects. Also, I wouldn’t mind using record box with my rain one.
Thinking about grabbing the Rane One. I tend to lean more towards simplicity versus bells and whistles. I currently have the Traktor S4 MK3 so I want to stay with motorized platters. Most of the effects on that I don't even use. Now I'm kind of curious as to what Rane might come out with. Think I should wait? 🤔
Hey Joe nice video I have an older Ddj sr2 and the 1000 debating on buying the Rev 7 or some Rane 12’s , I’m not really a scratch DJ but after all these years have given it a go , funny being the same age and thinking of muscle memory and stuff .. so true thanks for the heads up
I was wondering how long it took for you to receive your cold sparkler. The Marines have moved up Hubby’s deployment date so we’ve had to move up the wedding date. We’re located in Greensboro, NC and the wedding is now May 28th and review made us want them for the wedding!
Been DJing for a minute… had a Rane One, didn’t really dig it, sold it! Got the Rev7! No regrets!!! Sound quality of the Rev7 is better than the Rane! However, having an external power brick is the only con for me with the Rev7.
Hey Joe, also only played on motorised platters once.,think I'll pick the Rane one although I am a big Pioneer fan. Mostly because of the layout. Would also consider buying the rane 12s because of price 🔥
Looks cool man, I ended up scooping a Denon DJ SC5000M, wish it had sample options, but I guess you can load samples on deck B, when mixing on the SC5000M, where it has basically 2 dex built into one unit, which is pretty cool, especially if you have two units, then your rockn 4 dex at once 👍🎵🎶 Great video, does the Rane One have sample options? Was very curious. Definitely gotta get back into my practice sessions again 👍🙏😎🎵🎶
these two Controllers are not made for Wedding DJs the most Mobile DJs are Wedding or Event DJs these Controllers made more for turntablism or showcase Djs and Club Djs as well.
When someone post with out think the response through lol. Do you even have either 1. To say it’s not good for weddings. Both have two mic out put. That alone screams I can use at weddinds

Finally someone being honest about this 2 controllers and not making it so confusing and talking bad about any of the brands ! Good one Joe
Thank you!
Cool video. I'm a turntable guy, buy love my 1000srt. Don't have extra money to spend, but would consider Rane One. Thanks!!
Hey Joe. I'm buying the rane one coming from the ddj 1000. The rane one is currently on special in price. I have to learn to use the rotating platter and serato. ...Great video
“…In a moment of selflessness…” I’m surprised he didn’t preface that statement with a “because I am such a humble guy…”
I was gonna get 1000-srt and I got the Rane one cause they wasn’t a Rev available at the moment, and I was using a Numark 3. This is Big lol for me🔥
I had the money to get either but, went with the Rane One.
I like the functionality of the Rev7 but, have heard that after a lil usage, the paint comes off the faceplate around the crossfader.
It’s a minor detail though 👍🏽

Up faders the same as the cross fader
Battle style setup
On board effects
Sampler Volume
I'm sure there will be a new version by end of year.
@@DJJoeBunn yup… & 4 channels at that… shot who knows maybe even 10 platters
Great Review, I still use the NS7 3 and love it, but I have been looking at both. What kind of covers are those on your tables ?
Which ones?
I installed the driver 3 times on the Rev 7 before i realized the trim was turned down also 😖
Ugh.

Rane one all day
Very good video Joe. I have the Rane One. It’s a fun controller.
Much luv indeed gratitude
That is a really beautiful Rev 7. I think I have one like it. ;) Thanks again brother!
lucky bastard
You bet! You won!
