RANE PERFORMER Review and First Look

[@NickSpinelli]

Is this the REV-7 killer??

[@djhikevin]

Yes most definitely sell me yours 😂

[@DJGaryP]

Yes!

[@DjJayBook]

I myself don't think that this kills the REV 7. I believe that it is a great comparison option for Rane vs Pioneer. I'm still Riding with REV 7 IMO. Great review My Guy!

[@djstretchtone9851]

Yeah lol. Vinys/lz

[@FernandoHenao-gd4io]

Nick, thnx for the review. I was waiting for this: Four channels and rotating platters. Currently I have a pioneer ddj 1000 srt. I was hoping for the Flex-10 to have moving platters, but it doesn't. So I decided to wait. And now Rane did it. I am sold. Definitely buying it.

[@XminiFresh13X]

I am so glad I subbed to your channel a few months ago Nick, truly high quality content you’ve been posting!! The DJ world thanks you fr 🔥🙌 This review came exactly when I needed it

[@nayaleezy]

Thanks Nick, really helpful to have the camera on the gear, as you interact with it. I'd only ask you to slow down sometimes to really demonstrate the features so a viewer has time to see and take in what's happening and feel it more through the youtube screen.

[@mrsanchezthedj4391]

Sorry but I just love the Rev 7 battle style! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ORIGINALDJZERO]

@mrsanchezthedj4391 yep! I don't even own one, but if I did(in the Dos Equis man voice)

[@djpyndo]

Thanks Nick! One of my technics 1210’s motors is on the way out after 200 weddings and I’m thinking this is the upgrade from my rane sixty-two. Keeping the technics for life tho! Cool vids on IG by the way.

[@TaylorDj]

Nick I just bought one, thanks for the video.. I like the dual mics. I have the Rane four and can''t wait to take this out to my next wedding this weekend.

[@Djsmartkiddml23]

How much did you get one

[@mike._.feliciano6782]

I just purchased one...can't wait. I had the Rane Four but always thought, something is missing...coming from Technics 1200s, it was the moving platters. Great review, Nick.

[@gabrielledavis6382]

My main gripes with this Rane Performer: Excessive amount of buttons/knobs that could easily be dual function. It’s busy and overwhelming..Rev7 is cleaner, more streamlined, and battle style. I’ll keep my Rev7 ☺️

[@KletoReese]

I'm drooling watching this video! Most definitely going to buy it!

[@MikeStoan]

I think the Rev layout is better.

[@djcal623]

A very masterful controller but honestly looks very overwhelming and I've been on a ddj1000 since 2018 0r 19...i would have to be obsessed with that thing to learn most of its capabilities

[@BigBlockEntertainment]

You now the question everyone wants answered!!! Rev7 VS. Rane Performer!!!!

[@NickSpinelli]

Coming soon 🤓

[@NICEntertainment]

Cool for sure. But i love battle pitch fader and mixer pad placement on my rev. Does all i need and more.

[@derrickthurmond2470]

That stem split is a beast. Nothing on the market like it

[@clutch269]

Virtual DJ has had it for over a year.

[@bestmanmusic]

Similar to the FLX-10

[@djm0tiv]

Ummm that feature exists elsewhere bud

[@eternalsoundschicago]

I wish they’d used the same little screens over the cues over the effects buttons since you can remap them. I have the R4 and forget where some of my lesser used remapped effects are. Minor gripe but both the Four and the Performer are solid af.

[@mikebrinks5738]

Nick no disrespect this is nothing more than the Rane 4 with platters. You sounded like someone who never used the Rane 4 😂. With all the hype I was thinking the controller would make calls or something. Was this a paid promo😅

[@joeyfresh511]

This controller is dope I just wish they would put the pads in the center and the platters closer to the dj

[@ryanott6763]

If I was playing more open format instead of clubs I would buy this in a heartbeat

[@djisizzle]

Thank you so much for the in depth and amazing review!

[@williamswenson3970]

Nick you're looking good brother!

[@djcoolcliff]

The filter roll like the NS7 is dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scottlapinski2602]

Did Rane actually make the channel faders replaceable from the top of the controller like on their 72 mixers?! If so, this is truly a game changer for me with build quality!!!!

[@DJCaseyKay]

Excellent review. This thing looks amazing. Personally the Rev 7 is still better, but mainly due to the layout and fact I’ve been Dj’ing on pioneer mixers for ever. But man the features of this Rane seem epic.

[@DJsalsoul]

Sup Nick waiting for your Rev 7 vs Rane Proformer? Thanks

[@The1000sHTown]

‘I’m gonna be honest witcha, I don’t know what the hell I just did’ 😂😂😂. Pinche Nick

[@DJHealingHands]

I am so excited to see that the Rane Performer is now in the review/marketing phase. Since there will be no NS7 IV being released, this is the next best thing.

[@JewelzFin]

I want all of this in a standalone with 12" platters, the ability to put efx on stems and all the bells and whistles of the Prime 4+. Yes, all of them lol... Until then I'm sticking with the Prime 4+. I know no one reading this cares. But a man can dream.

[@allentastic]

Yeah that would be SICK. It’d also be like 6k probably lol

[@Positive_Tea]

Hi Jewelz gtsy again. 12 inch Rane Twelve style but standalone yooooooo

[@JewelzFin]

@@allentastic I'd sell a kidney for it haha

[@RunTFC]

I was literally thinking this while watching Nick's video.

[@swissivory]

This is what I was thinking. My P4+ will be used and abused but if I ever run into an issue with it or decide to switch, this would be the next best option

[@DJ.JAMROCK]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but is it better than the flex 10?

[@chriswerner6557]

Rane got there spokesperson right going with your opinions finally NICK. 4 channel mixing is cool, not as portable being that heavy. WHEN Rane comes out with a new Rane One MK2 with the on board fx, tension adjust knobs, and stems, Rev 7 is done . Those power bricks are garbage pioneer. Lets go RANE!!!

[@williamswenson3970]

To anyone in the comments :) If you're selling your Rane1 now, let me know :)

[@jameswilliams3046]

Yes but are you in the UK?

[@williamswenson3970]

USA :( :)

[@p0stab0yy]

I have one in Jersey I'm trying to unload in original box.

[@henrylandrum6149]

I have one in excellent condition with case in Maryland.

[@williamswenson3970]

How much USD good sir?

[@one_4_the_money811]

They have stems split on Flx10

[@djwolfletsgo]

Your reviews be so in depth bro! And the comedy is priceless 😅

[@beatbuildersstudio]

This is the thing I dont like about most reviews of any genre. A new product comess out "I gotta review it right away or I won't get views" We need to see a couple of months worth of testing in real world situations. My feed has been flooded with "reviews" of this controller. Its sometimes sad to see.

[@LetsGoViral.]

I'm already seeing reasons I'm not a superfan, but I might be a fan now....

[@xiaofanwang2611]

The sales is gonna increase at least 50% if they make this in battle style

[@Earthcitizen4609]

Don’t like small buttons rane products have

[@iconix21]

Why did I know you were not going to address the elephant in the room..............?!? The fact that one of you biggest grips was that the RANE ONE was asymmetrical.................?!? Let us guess... they sent you a demo to review, therefore...............?!? SMH

[@aphexish]

What do you mean asymmetrical

[@anthonycameron2067]

I think he meant symmetrical 😊

[@alendotcom]

Spinelli the goat!

[@IMAMAZING1985]

Nick, I have to ask you. Would you replace your rev 7 for the rane Performer

[@Djmalc88]

I definitely like this controller the performance is amazing it's up with rev 7 .😊

[@MrSirjamalot]

did you notice that one platter is slightly bigger than the other?

[@codychavarria6088]

I still do usb and cds , im small but i like the versatility. I wish they would make an all for 1 that uses everything

[@florianhammerschmid211]

Rev 7 in Germany about 1700-1800€ and the Rane Performer about 2300€! 500+ is too much in my opinion.....

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

I like Rane .I have the Rane 12 ,72,mk 2s set up but if i was gigging this would be my workhorse though i might need a dude to save my back.I will take a look at this bad boy at Klangfarbe as soon as they have one just to try it out

[@presise1620]

OMG. I have a New Rev 7 and i'm jealous of the stems button control, platter build and saving effects on this Rane. SMH.

[@alexandersessoms]

Can you mixing house music with this new Rane

[@jsobrino]

the Rane Performer seems heavy until you realize it’s only 2 lbs heavier than a single Technics 1200. a pair of 1200s plus a Rane 70 (or Pioneer s7 or Reloop Elite) is around 65 lbs total, this is soooo light compared to that

[@ifran77]

My next controller

[@djgthemerciless1281]

@NickSpinelli I hope they paying you Bro cause you just sold me on this 👊🏿 best review I seen on this product 👍🏿 appreciate you 🙏🏿

[@Henrychamber-r8w]

The tempo lock is terrible with the platters and jumps by key. It's completly unstable in fact unless you stop the motor running. Trust me, this is a bad bit of gear that's amazing for scratching and terrible for mixing on unless you mix all your tracks with tempo lock off or use sync/pitch bend buttons only. Rekordbox is a million times better qaulity for speeding up and slowing down. Sorry to say it. This was bad.

[@BoomDocs14K]

This video makes my 3rd launch review that I've watched for opinions, followed by CT & MJaxx. You managed to give the scoop in almost half the running time and a great video too, I should add! I have been waiting for a controller with these features since the Rane One, which had no onboard Fx, the Rev 7 was tempting, but waited for Rane to respond, and we got the R-FOUR! So this version seems to be Spot-On in terms of the boxes that needed checked. Currently use Rane 12s & 70 mixer!

[@heisenberg2966]

I didn’t get the feeling that this was an “ Unbiased “ Review. It felt more like a “ Paid Advertisement “. I usually get an Honest Review from You. Rane did give a Rane Performer, so I get that You have to “ Dance for them.

[@djchinot7229]

Rev 7 is still damn near unbeatable. Pioneer understands what djs want. I stopped djing because of the stupid controller layout. Let’s be honest most djs don’t use 90% of effects capability.

[@djredphoenix6671]

Like to see u perform on it

[@BuddyBakhuijsen]

Great controller. Too bad it's not battle style. For that reason I pass and keep my Rev7 as a backup.

[@dj_sphurrahds]

U getting soft nick..😂😂😂😂😂..anyway good review and point. New future for djing ... 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alainreyes4388]

Thanks again for this fun & quality vidéo from France !!! The Best you are !

[@jacqueskloster4085]

I will never understand controllers in this price range. Full vendor lock in for over 2k € That's a very nice used set of a real DJM with maybe some rane twelves or real vinyl decks...

[@mingusx3440]

I came here to hear dude hate on Rane, as he always has... Oh no, wait, what, this is a whole 180 turn. What happened? 🤣

[@angrykermit3192]

Great overview/review. You didn't spend 20 minutes on basic crap like "this is the shift button, let me show you every use it has".

[@alendotcom]

You were right. They should have called it the preFOURmer.

[@OGSumoVIBE]

Yea dawg, too much unnecessarily shtuff for me. I’m good.

[@shameer685]

Nick definitely wants them to give him one. lol j/k

[@nareshangelia-sookrajjr.1365]

I gotta be honest with you I bought an FLX6GT to practice on because the pro djs I play with both use DDJ 1000s. So my plan was to upgrade to an FLX10 soon to get more used to the set up but holy shit that Rane Perfomer looks so gorgeous dude. I’m torn now.

[@beatbuildersstudio]

Go with your original plan. I can almost guarantee something will come out again in a year and it will make you want to buy it. Sometimes i think too many options aren't necessarily better.

[@LarryMorales77]

Any word as to when this will be compatible with VDJ? I jumped the gun a little too early and I received mine 2 days ago. I didn't set it up yet.

[@P4boot]

Wrong person to ask lol He hates VDJ

[@DjKave]

Pioneer rev 7 I’ll stick with

[@gimmemyish]

Cool. I’ll stick to my Rev 7.

[@DJ.Kvn_]

Too bad batrle mixer are late to get on board with stems. Controllers lately have so much more features

[@TheOnlyDjMikeStone]

Backorderd !

[@djsteinotc]

Hopefully the paddles at least over a year. One of mine broke and customer service never got back with me in time for me to get it fixed before my warranty 👎🏽

[@djsammie]

I'm still an AlphaTheta/Pioneer DJ fan boy

[@jigsawsworkshopofpuzzles8934]

Nice job! Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you.

[@ceres911]

It’s heavy

[@channeloram]

CRAZY how far these things have come. This thing is incredible!

[@ZykoMike]

Dude started playing the LG laundry is done tone play towards the end

[@JimNicholson-m5k]

Nick, I assume this controller isn't crooked like the Rane One?

[@rodneymcdaniel2482]

Love it just got mine a couple of days ago, I’m gonna sell my Rane one 🤙🏾

[@dziany_forsacze]

Since Numark's NS7 series there been very few motorized dj controllers that have potential.

[@mixit247]

IMO Numark was years ahead.... until got bought, chopped and digested by inmusic corp. thats when NS7 technology was passed to Rane, thats why Numark no longer makes any motorized controllers. Rane 12 and Rane One are both Numark's bastard children.

[@e30gangsta]

Meh, would rather keep using my ns7 III .

[@djrease7354]

The on/off button type/ location 😬

[@rainbowgaming8441]

i am selling my rane one and my 505 the rane one is not even open it was given to me

[@DJLyncho]

Numark Mixstream pro 2 please. 😏

[@Djsmartkiddml23]

How much is this 🎉

[@Earthcitizen4609]

Time to be nice to rane 🤓

[@Selectakonrad]

Wow it’s a work horse!!!! It might be a rev 7 killer

[@DinoAyrtonJansen]

Is there a reason why this and the REV-7 are not usb stick compatible?

[@leet1850]

Possibly because it does not read the actual mp3s, just a controller rather than a standalone.

[@damon-burton]

The RANE PERFORMER looks like a beast. Those high-torque platters and OLED displays are seriously impressive. Stem splitting is a game-changer for remixing on the fly. Nick did a great job highlighting the controller's potential. I'm curious how this compares to other high-end controllers in terms of workflow and integration with different DJ software.

[@DT1One]

Ha ha look at you now From the days of Napster Limewire; you were a legend 🫡

[@djAXCESSmusic]

OMG i couldn't beat juggle with the one i tried at Marquee and am sooo happy you can adjust the torque. I'm buying 2

[@sonoholiday]

Bonjour, pour toi quelle est le contrôleur que tu apprécie le plus entre le FLX10 et le performer?

[@lextr3110]

wish the screens would be OLEDs...

[@SuperDJsEnt]

YOHHHHHH! I'm totally sold. Not going to lie. I love my Pioneer but I'll be objective here. The stem split feature and 4 channels did it for me. Not going to lie to myself at this point. "All I want for christmas is you (Rane Performer)..."

[@Rinqo25]

Ugh and I just bought the Rane one

[@ranecorporation]

We're glad you like the feets, Nick!

[@LarryMorales77]

I just ordered mine because of your review. I used your link.

[@LarryMorales77]

Juan says Hello BTW

[@starlite3597]

best review man i love you're vids

[@deegee8042]

which has better sound quality, the Performer or the rev 7?

[@deegee8042]

BTW... I traded in my Rev 7 for the Performer and could not be happier... Dont hesitate this thing is amazing!!! Its an absolute Rev7 killer sitting at the same price point (unless you literally want just 2 channels, then they fairly equal depending on needs). Its bad ass and so happy I have this thing, Cheers yall and Big Ups Spinelli

[@snoopete163]

No battle style? Damn. They should havre made it like a real 1 and 2's. like the rev 7. Just saying.?
