Rane Performer Vs Pioneer DJ Rev-7 - DEEP DIVE COMPARISON - WHO WINS?

[@DJGALAXYPRODUCTION]

I don't mind that unit carrying it around. Once you've carried vinyl and turntables in a large flight case this is nothing compared to that Oh and let's not forget separate powered amplifier and speakers.

[@legendarydjmarcus1212]

[@djgcue]

[@bernercalito8422]

This review is contradicting in my opinion

[@matthewjswider]

Cleveland gave me 4 18” earthquakes and 4 2kw amps with rolling boxes. Heaviest shit I’ve ever had to drag to the desert. But it smashes at those desert parties and it’s impressive looking. Thanks Cleveland!

[@deegee8042]

great review and thanks. I had the Rev 7 and traded it in for the Performer and could not be happier and mainly for these reasons: Four channels, non proprietary power cord, on board stem controls, also for what ever reason, my Rev 7 was very glitchy with both Serato and Rekordbox.. no issues at all with the Performer (Serato) which i prefer anyawys. Also appreciate the metal build w/ feet on bottom. The Jogs are a tad bigger and super torquey and responsive. when i attach turn tables or cdj's etc, the four channels come in handy or I can use four deck channels internally as well. True they are both great, but at the same price point I just see so much more value and capability with the Performer and am very happy I got it. Cheers!

[@ClevelandTerry]

Excellent

[@DJScrewmatic]

Thank you for comparison for both controllers. You’re making me happy with my decision to keep both my Rev7 and 1000-SRT. I had the Rane 4 and I had to take it back. But now seeing this comparison between the Performer and Rev7 is really no difference. I’m definitely keeping my Rev7 and I’m not even gonna think about getting the Performer. Thank you for your honest and unbiased opinion. Much love to you.

[@djdavebdjdaveb3885]

Thank you CT for your time making this comparison video

[@Tdiesel2679]

Awesome breakdown. If I didn't already have the Rev and I was trying to decide between the 2, after watching g this I would still go with the Rev just cause of personal preference and it having the same layout as my S11 and Rane twelves. Also I had the 1000SRT and I never used channels 3 & 4 on that so the other faders and eq knobs are just clutter to me. But I do think Rane did a couple little things better that I wish the Rev would have done. Like the magnets that hold the platters on instead for the plastic clips. That was a good idea. Also giving people the felt slipmats along with the plastic ones is nice too. Cutting up some slip mats to put in my Rev was a little bit of a pain. This is an excellent demo video of these 2 competing controllers. 👍

With the new firmware update (v2.0.1) on the Pioneer Rev 7, there is stem split buttons...hold hot cue and press the scratch bank button. To enact the stem blue button function. So the Rev actually wins.... given its a 2 year controller.😊

[@edwardfields3607]

Great review! I've watched a few of your videos and they're very insightful. Keep up the great work!

[@MrInternationalSound]

THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE COMPARISON VID‼️ thx CT

[@GrayGhostDog1]

Once again, a very thorough review by CT! Both controllers are super-solid and you really cannot go wrong with either... I think it comes down to which features and/or layout suits you best.

[@DjNikGnashers]

What about the annoying sloppyness and clicky sound when trying to scratch on the Rev7 platter ?

[@ClevelandTerry]

@@DjNikGnashers I don’t get a clicky sound on my rev platters My slip mats are felt.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@ClevelandTerry Every review I have seen of the REV7 shows a 'gap' when moving the jogwheel back and forth quickly (scratching), it makes a noise, and has a slightly sloppy feel because of the small gap between the sensors picking up the movement when it changes direction. I have not owned one though, so I am only speaking from the experience of other people's reviews. The rane performer jog wheels do not do this due to the design.

[@XavierG7692]

Prefer the Rev7 layout but not the build quality. Which would you recommend to a new buyer? Leaning towards the Rev7 but I feel it should be slightly cheaper now that the Performer is out.

[@eyeviewfocus]

Thanks for your effort and time for making this comparison. Although you seemed to lean more towards the rev 7, but only a fraction. Great job . My current favorites are the flx 10 and rane perfourmer, so I will be leaning a little towards those. 👌👍 it is what it is 😁

[@jaybeezee12]

Great video Terry! 👏🏾 Both of these are heavy AF for mobile!! If you dj every so often and gig outside the house its OK. But if you spin 2 to 3 days out of the week, every week It gets to be a PIA. My REV5 is handsdown packed with features and lightweight for weekly gigs.

[@djmax2110]

I have both controllers the rev7 and the Rane Four Performer. Both controllers are good but when it comes to stems the Rane Four nails it! It's a different type of controller. I have much more fun using the Performer. My mixes on the Rane Four are way different from the rev7. The split stems take it to the next level. I like to split stem the track use the filter roll on the vocals believe me it sounds real cool or use the onboard FX that the new Rane four has other than just the echo. I can make my tracks sound like a remix using the cool new FX. The little screen on top of the pads I love so much they make a difference, I label my hot cues and acapellas and it will show on the little screen how I labeled them also for my samples so I know what samples I have. All I can say I have much more fun using the Rane Performer, I can be all day using the Rane Four coming up with crazy ideas. Can't wait to use it for my next gig.

[@colinj5544]

You can have cues and stems available at the same time on the rane four by holding the hot cue button and hitting the stem button while holding. That will split the pads where cues are on the top 4 pads and stems on the bottom 4. Is that not available anymore? You mentioned you wanted the stem pads available without pressing two things

[@saltytexasranger6301]

I love my REV7 so much I want another one for my house...

[@viper9711]

Another big advantage of the REV7 is that you can distribute 12 effects directly to 2 FX A+B banks - so you have 18 effects with the factory setting (6) available at the touch of a button - this is not possible with the Rane. The smooth echo is also a cool thing with the REV7

[@shasyb4301]

Love your material, new subscriber, returning DJ, you help me make sense of the stuff I missed while I wasn’t spinning I return strictly for the love. I have been playing on the Rane 4 for about three weeks and I absolutely love it. I’m still debating if I can afford to upgrade to the Rane Performer. Cause, of course I learned on turntables. 🤨😕 buy something new and ne model come out before end of the month. I see that hasn’t changed.

[@Master_djchops-sse]

Great review. Thanks

[@nathanbrandes4393]

Great vid, thank you. I def want a Performer but I know I don't need one. I knew it was bigger than the Rev-7 but seeing them together really is wild. Crazy how just a few inches add up.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Yup

[@HOMEBASE7812]

Great comparison but there was no mention of screens over pads, or the ATrak fader effects on the Rane. I do think the effects overall sound better on the Pioneer but the possible creative uses of fader effects really makes me consider the Rane.

[@lbwillis3460]

My first time watching and listening to your video. Your video was very informative. Thanks for the info. I'm going with the performer.

[@skeennah1927]

The Rane is kinda standalone, because you can close your laptop lid, and DJ with the unit, because the crates are visible in the turntable display.

[@RobbinThicc]

Have you actually been able to fully close the laptop and use it that way? That would be great.

[@wilsongyimah8290]

The fact that you still need to connect a laptop doesn’t make it a “ kinda standalone “. The term standalone simply means no dependence on laptop. It won’t work without laptop connected.

[@yarbles66]

Here's what I don't understand about the battle style on controllers. That method was only used to make it more convenient for turntablists to have a bigger area of the record to scratch etc. There's no two ways about it it's an awkward setup and seeing there is no time arm, it defies the point... the pitch being in an awkward position was a trade off & as much as I understand some may be used to it... it was always a compromise.

[@BoomDocs14K]

As always, great video and comparison. As a videographer/editor and DJ myself, I know lots of work goes into creating this content, appreciate you, Bro! You've stated many times, the perfect gear doesn't exist. I love the new Stem implementation on the Performer, but I prefer my pads in the middle like the Rev 7. Mainly due to my current muscle memory. The infamous 4 channel debate gives Rane the edge IMO. Unless there's a Summer Namm/Expo to skew my opinion! LOL!

[@matthewjswider]

Ok, so when does the pioneer version with 4 decks come out?

[@12spin]

Very informative comparison! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@tosmixno]

As you say it's all about preference and although minor I love that you can browse the library on the jog screens of the Rane. Less looking at the computer screen = better

[@thireshannaicker4078]

It's good that you measure the controllers . I really thought the pioneer rev 1 was really small ,until I got the rev 1 it wasn't that bad although still easy to carry around. Moving on to the rane performer ,it's an amazing controller to have .the display screens are bigger and 4 channels. Also dedicated stems buttons

[@MrJSiQ]

Any creative ideas for a easy hamster mode on this? (Reversed channel fader)

[@dj_sphurrahds]

Thx CT. Its always pleasure hearing your thoughts. The echo effects on mic was a good findings as the bpm increase will affect the echo, and never knew Performer got echo also on its mic. 2nd good finding thru ur video.. Its ice on a cake u got there. Hot pad in the middle also a good point, Rev 7 take the cake on it. Previously Rev 7 and Rane One on the ring, but its an honour to Rev 7, when most people compare Rev 7 with the Performer now, little discredit to Rane one actually..haha..anyway..Kudos to this video brotha, its good info. cheers. Take care.Im gonna go with my Rane one as for now. hahaha😆😆😆👍

[@djdc2006]

Speaking of longevity I ran the NS7 iii since 2015 nothing came close and the Rane 1 was just comparable. I had to buy a Rane 4 because Numark wouldn’t update the drivers to windows 11. I was the first in Michigan to get a Performer now it’s longevity will WAY OUT LIVE that Rev 7. It will be the new standard for other companies to live up to. It turns you into a musical magician. RIP Rev 7. Not knocking you guys that own one, to each his own.

[@mdzic7628]

THANK YOU!! For various reasons THIS is the video I’ve been waiting for since the Super Bowl. CT, when you’re done playing with the Rane will you be running back to the Rev 7 for your go to controller? With all of your gear you own do you even have a go to anymore,lol?

[@ClevelandTerry]

Truthfully, I like them both but because of the added weight and size the Rane is going into my furniture. I’ll use the rev for everything else

[@MrIgnid]

Good comparison. I’m still on the ns73. But it’s heavy af. I’m having trouble mapping my stems. But Am considering something else. Thanks

[@Bishop2g]

Love how you said the effects we use lol. Much as I love that pitch down effect on rev 7. I used it when I first got it. And went back to echo out. Out effects barely use. Especially with stems

[@chriswerner6557]

What would your take for a 2 channel set up between a REV 7 and a S7 or S11 w/ 2- Rane MK2? Not as portable and no stems on the S7 or S9. What would you go for? I do alot of bar gigs if that helps you out. Thanks Terry!

[@powersquadentertainment8172]

[@ichigen511]

This is a good case in point for why competition is good for everyone. It's good for us because we get quality and options. It's good for companies because it inspires them to make a better product. I would argue that it's always been a good time to be a DJ, even in the late 70's when the disco clubs got MKII's with a pitch fader. Love that we don't have a monopoly in this industry being lackadaisical, I obviously realize Pioneer sets the club standard, but because of that fact they can't experiment as much as Denon does, for example, with their CDJs. Win win win for the DJ scene. We are blessed with all these wonderful toys!

[@ClevelandTerry]

Agreed

[@Supaslicer]

If all I want is GOOD feeling controller vinyl feel Ia the Rane one is just as good? Or does the performer win, no contest? Like is the feel day amd night?... trying to figure out an easy BBQ party set up, and I have only used 1200s my entire career(Rane 62 mixer since 2013)

[@djbloc]

So I have the rev7 and the Rane performer… I agree on a lot of the things you said in the video… thanks for making it.. I been using the rane for 3 days and I can’t get past the work flow of the buttons not being Battle style… that’s more of my style but every thing else is great on both controllers… I think I may stick with the rev7

[@djgemineye]

That Microphone Attenuator on the Rev7 is GREAT for live-streaming if you have that Shure SM7b. No need for a Cloud Lifter, and you get that great echo effect that follows the BPM. It’s probably why they have that feature.

[@ClevelandTerry]

I guarantee they weren’t thinking about streaming. It’s a pioneer thing.

[@djxpress5770]

Absolutely reaffirms my decision to not buy the Performer. With the Rev 7, it's all I need. I spin primarily House Music here around Chicagoland. I'm not forgetting my power cord or need stem splitting. There's no 2 thousand dollar reason for me to move on to the Performer. I have the Rane One, which I do not even bother with, because the pitch on both sides is equally far off zero center. So I'm not sold on Rane quality with controllers. They get no more of my money! 12 years of Pioneer controllers, and I've had no issues! I still have and use my Pioneer DDJ-SX2!

[@ClevelandTerry]

I get that

[@scottlapinski2602]

Can you do a video like you did for the DDJ REV 7 where you access the channel faders? Rumor has it that on the Performer you can access the faders from the top of the controller like you can on the Rane 72 mixer? I'm now hearing from a few Performer users that you cannot access the faders and that they aren't user replaceable?

Loving the vid so far, just wanted to comment before I forget. You can switch the REV7 to mono in the utility menu on on the controller itself. Having a dedicated switch is nice though.

[@jlp-mtb1391]

Both controllers are great. Coming from turntables…the Rev7 slightly wins for me due to its smaller weight and size. I got the rev7 for easy transport instead of lugging turntables to some gigs. Also, the buttons are not below the platters that can get in my way. The Rane is nice though, but i’m lazy and getting older. I don’t want to carry heavier gear than what I already have. I would get the Rane if i had extra money to burn.

Ns7 is still a beast just heavy and weak mics ..but midi map stems to the five cue beside the decks makes it still relevant in today's controller market. I love mine with the dashboard

[@djnes2k7]

Man rane had a chance to really win a few people over but as someone that uses a rev but actually wants a rane I can’t do it. Rane needs a true battle style minimal version of the Rane one. The layout is what kills it for me. It’s a diarrhea of buttons. And stuff like the left pitch fader and right stop button being awkward position is a no go. Especially when motorize platters are supposed to be for a specific group of djs. They need a rane one special edition, no screen in the jog 2 ch with a true battle layout. With 1/3 the buttons. It only needs effects and stems. And the typical 8 pads. Or make a modular version (it would cost a ton) where you can move certain layouts

I was waiting for a unit like the Rane Performer to come out after my NS7ii died, and wasn't happy with getting the Rev7 since it wasn't built natively with stems, so I bought the Inpulse T7, but now that I've been spoiled by an 11lbs controller, it's going to hurt going back up to a 28lbser. I'm hoping they will come up with an upgrade to the Rane One, I really don't think I'll use the stem features on the performer and I just want something that's more compact, lighter and streamlined, like the T7.

[@slopiijoe]

Great review of both products. Sorry you had to record twice. I do think the Rane should've gotten a higher score than the Rev on Displays, even if it currently can't display logos. The versatility of the Performer should put it above. Also something worth noting is the Performer is going to be the better controller for those using virtual DJ. Especially with Stems.

[@IAmStealthBertrand]

Awesome review.

[@djsilverva]

The Rane faders are all interchangeable with the crossfader…the Rev is not…the major difference is how one’s brain works…I think they are both amazing

[@Fonkykane]

The Performer line and crossfader are different... the CF is a mag4 and the LF are Precision Feel Fader

[@graffmixer]

Two different style controllers but REV 7 is great!!! The smaller profile just kills it for me when traveling. I personally don't need 4 channels and I love the battle mixer feel and where the pads are. Its quicker to navigate Stems with just the kill buttons than additional steps on the Performer. The only thing that kills it with the Performer is being able to have a non proprietary power cord and the bigger jog wheels.

[@DJGKini]

A tie! Lol , excellent review. I had no idea about the mic on the REV7 following the tempo of the slider nice. Size of the RANE performer and layout of the controller (tempo sliders, stem accessibility, and essentials knobs) makes it a deal breaker. I agree the size of the REV7 is the most I would like to go I gig with it everyweek and with my flight case it is heavy I can’t imagine adding more weight. Great work my boy

[@ClevelandTerry]

Glad to help
