2 Reasons Why I Won't Buy The Rane One Controller

When you're deejaying who cares more about the effects you or the audience? Sound quality, build, you basically get two 12's and a rane 70. i dont think effects are deal breaker, and crooked? come on man stretching.

[@DJGaryP]

Some people will always find something to complain about lol 😂

[@djs5663]

Cry baby shit.

[@ZhemJZ]

I don't care about the onboard effects really. Not a deal-breaker for me. I know the Serato effects aren't great sound quality, but I don't use effects a lot. The ones I do use are limited and sound fine for what I'm using them for. That said, it would be nice to have good/better effects because I'd probably use them more if they sounded better and were more solid. Just because you might not use/care/rely on effects doesn't mean that people who care about effects are wrong. My main issue with the controller is that it's not mirrored, and it's the same on both sides. I was SO HOPING this would be the controller that would finally getting me to move on from my NS7ii, but I just can't get past that. Not for the price tag. If I was going to have identical decks on each side, I'd get the Denon Prime M series or the Rane 12s - at least that makes sense to me why it'd be "crooked" as Nick says and not mirrored/flipped on the left.

If you're using a DJ software, the software has to recognize those so called built in effects in order to work, if it doesn't recognize it it won't work, so basically in the end you're using digital effects... If it has to plug into a laptop or PC in order to work it's all digital..

[@nevedofficial466]

Two years late but this isn't true, the fx handling is in the mixer itself, the audio passing through from serato will be, ehem, effected when an effect is toggled and get sent through the master out.

[@mkAYY825]

the effects wouldnt be "analogue" if they were on-board they would still be digital..... i never saw it as crooked until you said so ,but I see now. however its no big deal, this is what it would look like if you had 2 small turntables

For everyone wondering, Nick is WRONG on this one. I've used the Rane One at about 5 gigs now and the thing is awesome for what it is. While the effects are not on board they are very efficient especially if you are someone like me that just uses the occasional echo or reverb. Also the filter IS on board and sounds great. So far my only issue is the mic input. Doesn't sound that great but if you're doing a wedding or event you should be running your mic through an external mixer anyway.

[@DJDAMIAN72]

The onboard effects on other controllers & mixers are also digital, even hardware effects for musicians are also digital, since at least the 1980's (with very few exceptions). I do think it would've been dope to have onboard effects for when hooking up real turntables to the Rane One and playing real vinyl, at least an echo delay but other than that the Serato effects are cool when using Serato with controllers or DVS. The only time not having on board effects is a real issue is when you play real vinyl. Also I don't understand what this dude is talking about saying the Serato effects suck when they sound good to us who use them, I mainly just use the different echo delays and they sound good to me! Now what was pretty lame was him saying it's crooked, does he not understand that it's emulating the feel of 2 actual decks & a mixer, if you have turntables or CDJs they will have the same so called "crooked" design! smh lol I've actually seen some reviewers complain about controllers with the "mirrored" design this dude prefers like the Nuwmark controllers have since no 2 turntables and no 2 CDJs would be designed that way. People can get used to either one of the 2 designs but if you really think about it if these controllers are emulating turntables & CDJs then the "crooked" design is more logical and more familiar to anyone who has used turntables & CDJs.

[@DJ-Coma]

I’m sort of with him in regards to the internal software FX vs onboard hardware FX. I think it may come down to it being that those of us who started DJ’ing with the DJM series mixers (as one example) are so used to how those FX sound that we just don’t like how the Serato internal FX sound. That’s not to say they sound bad, they just don’t have the same feel to them that we’re used to. DJ’s that started DJ’ing with the Serato internal FX aren’t going to have that same bias. Hopefully that makes sense.

I'm right there with you on the lack of built-in native effects in the Rane One. However, I disagree that it looks crooked. Since I own a Rane Seventy (with built-in Flex FX) with my OG Technics SL1200 MK2's set up NON-battle style on each side, if you look at the position of my platters, I guess this would look crooked too... To me, it just looks right. Maybe it's just because I'm old. LOL

[@DjTecniq]

Nah man i have an S9 and t-tables and it looks just fine. The right deck on the Rane is leaning to left side of the mixer section and it just looks doofy.

[@stevedub5006]

I have the Rane One and going into it I didn't think it would mess with me but it took me a couple gigs to get used to the load/scroll knob on the right deck being on the left rather than all the way on the right like most mixers. Still not a deal breaker and I am already used to it. This video is kind of click baitey.

It's 'off center' because the platters aren't mirrored. If you have a regular turntable and mixer setup it would be similar UNLESS you have it set "battle style" (most turntablist and hiphop dj's prefer this so that the tone arm and pitch shift are out of the way) - tbh this is the preferred set up, I hate when controllers are mirrored... years of working with turntables i guess.

When though?!!

[@brianthomaston]

When I watch 99% of tablists, very few of them use fx, if anything the echo fade for transfer, but rarely do they use or need fx. I don't see what the problem is. Also the fx on the pioneer controllers suck as bad Serato fx.

Man I feel the same way - I've been using the NS7ii for years and want to upgrade to something similar-ish. Thought the Rane One might be the thing but OH MY WORD I HATE that it's not mirrored. I don't really care about the onboard effects - nice to have, but whatever. All the Rane One has shown me is that I either need to get the Denon Prime M series players or wait for the Rane Two / Rane One mk II. I gotta say man, I apologize because I judged you early on and wasn't a fan, but you and I align on so many things and you're saying a lot of the things I've said/say to other DJs all the time - respect.

As far as controllers go, this thing is an absolute game changer, and will get better when the mkII comes out.

[@salvadorvillanueva148]

everything you said was spot on

[@DjTecniq]

Not true. The Rane One uses strictly software fx which is using cpu. Hardware fx are built into the mixer itself and they don’t have the shitty tail end off beat echo out like Serato fx have. They still have not fixed the echo out...it works but it is not consistent I’ve done countless recorded sets and i absolutely hate the Serato fx...the echo out ruins it for me...the epic reverb is decent though.

[@Djtylerwallace]

@@DjTecniq my point about them both is still accurate. Hardware fx use cpu also....the cpu is just built into the mixer. ...everything else you said, i said lol

[@keithscratch]

Also!!!!!!! Why did they not make the button placement the same as the Rane 12 ? That would address the lopsided look , they messed this one up when it could have been a damn club standard for traveling DJ and performers, hopefully a new version they will correct the issues. A display screen would have nice as well.

I just bought one because the Rev 7 is still not readily available and I needed an upgrade. I LOVE IT. you ruined it for me by pointing out the symmetry (or lack thereof lol). But honestly. It feels good, sounds good. The software fx does suck. But the sturdy build and literally everything else about the controller is really good. The fx paddles does make up for it a tiny bit. They definitely missed a few layups on it but overall.... i am very happy with my purchase for what it is. Which is an upgrade for a DJ still in his first years. The platters feel great. But I dont disagree with your take. Its still a great controller.

[@Ras1Roy]

I'm with you on #1, #2 is not a big deal. By the way I click'd the like thumb.

[@JacobGelfand]

1. The lack of hardware FX is a valid critique at the price point. But for any DJ who cares more about FX than moving platters and build quality, Pioneer's got you covered with the DDJ-1000. 2. The assymetry of the One's platters looks much worse in photos than it feels in actual use. A bigger issue I've found with the layout is the proximity of deck 2's start/stop plunger to the crossfader. It's only happened once so far, but I did manage to hit stop by accident while cutting with my right hand. It's a bit of strange design choice because on the Twelves and pretty much all turntables, the start/stop is on the other side.

[@louprimo6062]

Nick if you take two 1200 turntables and you put them between any mixer they are going to look crooked too.

[@duboi1475]

I'm with you on the on bo0ard effects, but you lost me on crooked. If you have 2 turntables in battle mode and a mixer between the platters are going to be slightly offset. No real way around that IMO.

We would prefer to have it up top, in the upper part of the controller, like in the Rane Twelves . and 2 it needs a little screen that says the values of the fx

Much respect, but as a musician and recording/mix engineer for 35 years, most all effects have been digital effects for decades, whether they're from processor in a dedicated box or the processor in your computer. The latter will have more power and gobs more flexibility. Digital audio workstations like ProTools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, Cakewalk Sonar, Fruity Loops, etc, have all used software effects processors for a long time. I prefer that it's not mirrored...it's a mixer in the middle with identical decks on the side. When you look at the whole unit, it looks like what it's supposed to look like.

They did same with the Denon Prime 2/4...give the consumer a taste but not too much where they wouldn't consider upgrading to SC decks and X1800/1850 mixer.

When I learnt to DJ it was just a mixer and that way you get to learn better as you have to be creative. This has tones more stuff then my original two channel mixer

[@djjesse1294]

Great show bro. You hit the nail on the head.

[@NickSpinelli]

[@Freshleecut]

All controllers make a decision to either mirror the decks or have them symmetrical like two separate players. So not exactly what I would call crooked lol... But I don't like how close the left pitch control is to the line level

[@djplayerproductions]

Lol How come no one talks about the Traktor S4 MK3 in my opinion is one of the best moving platters controllers.

[@NickSpinelli]

Wait the S4 has moving platters???

[@djplayerproductions]

@@NickSpinelli YES came out October 2018. I love it.

[@BrennanSedivy]

@@NickSpinelli I own the S4 MK3 as well as the Rane One. The Haptic Drive designed by NI is FUCKING dope but still needs work. A larger S4 with the NI mixer + design language would be a game changer. It’s a hybrid design that no one else has achieved. Sadly the software lock-in with Traktor (no HID mapping to other software) is why I bought the Rane One. Tough position to be in.

[@djplayerproductions]

@@BrennanSedivy The only thing that I find wrong with it is there should have been a separate channel for the Mic. The Traktor software is a great software. My opinion.

[@jerrychisholm8565]

Traktor s4 mk3 is one of the best controllers out there but so underrated

[@eldjmasterfreddy3094]

DJ Das EFX is in the How's Mixing it OCD Street Style

[@DJBpartyTV]

Basically, if you're NOT A REAL DJ you won't like the Rane. Go buy a SRT if you're not serious and need FX. Also I have a SZ. Pioneer sold so many because it's aesthetically and mechanically functional with the best internal components pioneer could offer. RANE made a great controller. Definitely going to buy one and use my SZ for dueling DJ's.

[@djvibedjservices]

Thirdly - Where's the aux out? Or "Session Out"

[@Djtylerwallace]

There's a booth out....what you mean? Lol

[@djvibedjservices]

@@Djtylerwallace A lot of DJ's like to use an Aux out to send signal to a "Breakout Room" or the subs. Using the Booth out for this function is simply not an option.

[@Djtylerwallace]

@@djvibedjservices i use booth out to send signal to my subs, or a set of satellite speakers all the time. Not sure why it isnt an option.

[@djvibedjservices]

@@Djtylerwallace My monitor(s) tend to fluctuate in level a lot, at times I shut them off completely. Plus where I like to have my monitors set at might not be where I want my subs/breakout room set at.

[@Djtylerwallace]

@@djvibedjservices ok but what controller, or mixer has more than master and booth outputs? S9, s11, 1000, sx, sz, all have master and booth. Only ones i know of are the 70, and 72. If you need more outputs you should be using an external mixer imo.

[@allblackpromo2395]

What works for you is what best for you. Not every dj uses effects.

[@thebeatfreakz4278]

Agree on everything! Especially the crookedness... I started getting dizzy after looking at it. Ewww

[@massbaydj3203]

I’ve been really eyeing the One, but now I’m kinda hesitant. Seriously need to upgrade my main system I’ve got every penny’s worth out of my first gen DDJ-sx. done many hundreds of gigs with it but it’s tired, beat up, and outdated. I want to make the jump to the twelves with either the Rane mixer or an S9/11 but may regret lugging something that bulky. So the One seems like the better alternative . But not sure. Wish pioneer would develop a controller with motorized platters...

[@DJ_Snipe]

Your wish has been granted lol rev7

[@jweeventgroup8226]

It’s funny reading comments from all these button pressing DJs who bitch about efx... I have the Rane and I can tell you not one person has come up to me and said the efx sound bad.. Guess what.. They don’t care!! This controller mimics turntables so I don’t get the crooked thing either.. I also have the srt and I hated it! I hate cdjs.. I have always hated pioneer mixers because the efx UI sucks. Too much to remember and too many knobs for quick mix type DJs.. If there is a complaint for me.. It’s the absence of a sample volume knob... That’s truly annoying! Other than that... If you can kill a party nobody cares about your efx... and if you need efx to dj then that says more about you...

[@djtwoee415]

I really didn't realize this was crooked now it bothers me everytime i look at it

[@Musical.Maze.1]

Great controller I don't care about the weight. What you pay is what you get. I don't mind about internal effects either. I use my own BOSS 500 series effects pedals. The heavier the controller the better quality it is. If you don't like digital effects buy the analog effect pedals of JAM or DREADBOX.

[@milagroman75]

No one in the comments has ever considered pedals lol

[@alfaganstha]

I’m gonna get mine bro🔥

[@phasick]

Those two reasons are definitely not deal breakers at all. This controller is catered and marketed for turntablists that want a mobile setup without having to bring their decks. This is the first controller that's built like a tank, has legit spinning platters with slipmats, high-end crossfader, and a decent size and weight for portability. Sure it lacks a few features, but as a turntablist, what else can you ask for in a controller?! Everyone else bitching isn't a turntablist so don't even bother looking this way and grab yourself a different controller.

[@NickSpinelli]

I’m a turntablist and you know what else I can ask for?!? REAL EFFECTS.
