In my opinion, this is one of the BEST videos that I have seen to date covering the Rane Performer launch. Your infographics explaining the features were on point as well as the B-roll footage and comparison sections! You get 10 stars from me because I'm a videographer/editor and DJ. You knock this one out of the park, Dude! #salute

Good morning. When applying the sticker on the platter, is the goal to line the sticker up with one of the 'notches' and, if so, which one? The notch at 12 o'clock or the notch at 2 o'clock? Or does it simply not matter when I place it? There are little white markers at the 12 o’clock position and 2 o’clock position. Was just wondering if there were landmarks I could use when lining up the platter marker. Thanks. Thanks in advance!!

[@d-man4937]

Thank you for the very informative vid. The direct comparison to the 7 is exactly what most of us need to hear.

[@CHARLESMADSEN-v9f]

Carlo thanks for all of the great videos you post! I've been dj'ing for a long time and working on getting back into it along with my live sound engineering. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I bought the Rane One in 2022 partly based on your review of it and my love of Rane products going all the way back to the MP44 and owning a TTM54 for years before moving to Serato and a 61 which I had a big problem with the fader reverse buttons on the deck. I still have my 1200's but they don't go out with me anymore and now I want the Performer!

[@djcarlo]

The Performer is essentially the product of a union between the One and Four! Everything good about each is present in it. I do love your history with Rane too; those are classic bits of technology there!

[@geocapistrano4364]

Great Content as always! I totally agree with you. I personally prefer a more simplified workflow and only 2 channels. The more buttons and knobs and features are fantastic, but for me just leads to confusion and worry about hitting the wrong button when mixing. Rev7 works best for an ol school cat like me.

That makes total sense! Glad you're loving your REV7~ It's an amazing, flexible and light unit!

I have to agree! The Performer is pretty much the current iteration of the NS7, though with the screens on the jogwheels

[@DJPRO314]

Probably because of Ranes’ reputation of build quality being more popular than the numarks! Numark lost its reputation in the early to mid 90’s!

[@trelawnytownmaroons8456]

RaneOne did not have screens on the Jog. Where did that come from?

[@djcarlo]

Did I say Rane One? I was talking about the Rane Four the entire time! I don't think I mentioned the One at all in this video

[@johnmarellajr9070]

Sorry to ask a silly question but, does this controller have a BPM matcher switch, knob? Just wanted to make sure thank you. 🤔

[@djcarlo]

I'm very sorry, but what do you mean by BPM matcher? Like sync? I'm not sure if I understood the question right haha

[@johnmarellajr9070]

That's okay. lol what i meant was a beat matcher? i swear i saw one on dj controllers. i guess what it does on the controller is well, make the songs i have on where the music is stored and match the beat for you. Does that exist on any dj controller? i wrote you a novel. lol sorry but i just wanted to make sure i saw what i saw. 😁

[@johnmarellajr9070]

@@djcarlo that's right, a BPM where one song blends into another? It automatically beat match option or am I mistaken? I'm still a beginner. Going to save up for a Rane performer or pioneer something. I'm still looking.

So tha diference between rane fou and rane performer are the platters?

[@djcarlo]

The biggest upgrade? Yes. Though there are many more I've covered in the video

I recommend checking out record pools like BPMSupreme, Crate Connect, and MyMP3Pool

Hey DJ Carlo! I’m a beginner and would like to specialize in R&B music like Soulection DJs, can you make a beginner video for R&B transitions please! Thanks!

[@djcarlo]

Youll just need to follow my basic transition guides! I know they all use house/EDM songs, but the same transition techniques apply. Check out my video on mixing songs with no intro too

Now which laptop should i use to perform with this beast ? M1 is enough?

Yup yup! Just make sure it's got a good RAM on it

I actually wanna see if they're going to try something like this. Motorized FLX10 anyone? Haha

Pioneer has a better design.

[@LightestEvening]

@@djcarlo Bro. I've been waiting for some like that lmaoo. If they can make it lighter than this AND be $1999 still? Might be over for RANE tbh

[@mattrapoza4486]

Like my rev 7 more , having pads on the mixer is a way better workflow . I also have my pads mapped to stems so its exactly the same thing .

[@djcarlo]

That's fair! I do enjoy the pads being in the middle too for scratch routines, but I'll have to admit, the Performer puts up a good fight!

[@djtheob01]

Hi, as the Rev 7 has such a week pick up when you let go of the platter, it's disappointing to hear that the Rane Performer feels the same... And.. yes I've tried using 2 pioneer slip rings & after market slips but in reality the R7 feels nothing like a SL12! The only way the R7 can be used is to hold the 7" platter with the lightest touch when you let go! Unless you enjoy watching the platter slowly trying to play catch up & equalise the torque from the motor below. It's catch 22... You can achieve a quick pick when only using a single slip ring but you lose the ability to perform a 4-beat spin back! Long spin backs & quick pick ups are very important to me in my performances. I'm so tired of being asked to play out on these Mickey Mouse toys on

[@djcarlo]

Nothing can really replace the feel of genuine turntables, but I wouldn't call these ones toys. In fact, I can still do some pretty fun routines with these guys, without much adjustment! Maybe the feel of motorized jogwheels just isn't for you 😊

[@Knowcapturestudio]

Now I’m pissed I got the Denon Dj Prime 4 plus because this has Stem controls and much more damage

[@djcarlo]

Ngl, this controller goes hard. But the Prime 4+ is great on its own merits too!

[@Positive_Tea]

Sucks that this is Serato only. Rekordbox and Serato need to merge.

[@djcarlo]

Maybe one day that will happen, but we'll see
