I have one, This thing is a Playground for music lovers & Dj's, Its just amazing

[@soiceyboy33]

Great review! You did a good job explaining this beast. Just got mine yesterday.

[@djkit]

Glad I could help! Don't forget to sub for more!

[@OscarInOrlando]

Solid review. Keep it up Mate!

[@thatchinaboi1]

Can't wait until Wednesday for my Rane Four to arrive! My dream DJ product is a Serato Controller with 2 Rane 12 style platters with a mixer that has Rane Four features as well as a few Pioneer DJM S-11 features. Basically, I want a 4 Channel Battle Mixer and controller that is a cross between Rane Four and S-11 and has 2 Rane Twelve platters.

[@devinsoucy8070]

that's what I'm waiting for haha. Just got the Rane One. If they can make a Rane four with motorized platters, it's game OVER

[@DjShannimal]

This is exactly what I want also

[@hattoom]

This is the CLEAREST explanation video on the Rane4👍👍 thank you so much . Great work . I'm soooo tempted to ditch TRAKYOR that I've been using for 11 years now because of this video😅😅😅

[@djkit]

Glad it was helpful, I tried to make it as down to earth as possible as this controller could seem a little bit overwhelming! Don't forget to sub for more!

[@floydfeatherston7297]

Hello Rane One Owners, I wanna know is anyone other than myself having problems with stems. I’m currently running Serato 2.6 with no problems. But every time i download 3.0 or 3.1 Serato is erratic,it’s distorted,freezes ext. I updated my laptop with SSD 1TB hard drive problem still there. Love Stems but can’t get it to work properly. Thanks HELP! !

[@ajohnstitch]

No limits love it

[@djkit]

Crazy!

[@Javarrol]

Just ordered mines yesterday still learning thanks for explaining 🎙️ coming a Roland 202 for 4 years. I’m a mobile DJ.

[@GaiusIncognitus]

At the beginning, I laughed that your "short" review is 34 minutes. By the end, I totally understand why. This is a spectacular review.

[@djkit]

Haha! Thank you! It's always the case with Ratzi's videos! 😂

[@djhouseusa]

I wondering how to use Serato's software effects and you revealed it. Thanks for the review

[@dnbninja7042]

Great review. refreshing to see some genuine excitement from a reviewer. One small bit of feedback would be that it would be nice if the audio was a bit better. I know the wall behind the reviewer looks good but some better acoustic treatment would make a bug difference. But, saying that, I didn't watch to the end just to complain about the audio. As a bedroom DJ looking to upgrade, videos like this absolutely help. Thank you.

[@hassandjhaboogiespin4550]

Nice’ Review👏🏽😆, Great job with Breaking Things Down, i likes RANE 4 Just has To Continue Getting Everything Down Good!!!!!, So Many Options Which i loves’ The Built and Design and Structure is Quality!!!!!

[@Eddie87Grant]

I will be buying this controller instead of the Rane One. Thank you.

[@Djayneta]

Really wanted it to have the motorized platters. That’s what’s disappointing about it.

[@djkit]

I guess Rane wanted to keep that for the One controller? 🤷‍♂️

[@thalatest]

They never give you everything so they can keep making new stuff that you want to buy.

[@Barnsey87]

Nah they got lazy

[@itsjusalx]

Dope review 💯 Have one on order

[@djkit]

Good choice! You're going to love it! Don't forget to sub for more!

Just go this machine 🎉🎉

[@tyriecarter9549]

that's crazy i just got the One bro, now i might have to get this later tho sicko bro

[@InfiniteByDesign]

I just ordered this today after selling my SZ2 and I swore by that controller becasue it mapped up to Serato Studio perfectly and its just an all around great piece compared to the toyish shit pioneer been dropping im sp used to full size gear with my cdjs I could get with the mobile controllers. Super pumped to get this

[@skip580]

Great controller

[@djkit]

We've had so much fun on it!

[@bendecker7342]

Thanks for the indepth review. I'm very tempted, I only wish 2 things, the onboard FX could somehow be applied to Master, the Cue/Mix was controllable on the top plater. Question, can the tempo displayed on the central screen on the platters, be set to 2 decimal points like serato software can? Just a curiosity.

[@Hello-userr]

VDJ also supports Rane 4 in build 7524. Interesting comparison of scratch sound VDJ vs Serato

[@thatchinaboi1]

Please do a video on how the Rane Four integrates with DVS turntables. I don't have turntables at the moment, but I plan on getting them in the future. Would like to know how it integrates with Rane Four. There are a couple of videos that briefly touched on it, but it isn't exactly clear what can and can not be done. Thanks!

[@georgeclyde7904]

Sold!

[@jaybee8945]

Nice video! I need a link to the LA fitted cap

[@djrizama]

I really want this mixer, but I think I'm going to grab the pioneer Flx10. since Rane's warranty is terrible, my Rane mkll was ruined and it's been more than 12 days and they haven't responded to my email

[@nnguyen3482]

Id love to see breakdown vs the new Pioneer 4 channel. I know they fill a bit of a different market space, but anyone considering the rane 4 is probably looking at the Pioneer

[@demejiawejohnson-realtor8698]

yes...me too

[@CubanStylez101]

So far the dj spots I have been to here in Jersey have all suggested to get the Flex 10. Some aren't even selling the Rane Four stating that very few people have ordered it. They keep bringing up reliability of the brand and how the pioneer is most comparable with a club style type of controller. I have an SX2 so any of these two are obvious upgrades. I will probably go with the Flex since its similar to the 1000srt which I have used before in clubs and I already am familiar with the brand.

[@CubanStylez101]

@@demejiawejohnson-realtor8698 I just keep hearing negative things about the rane. The only place I am hearing good things is here on youtube from people reviewing it.

[@john7587]

Awesome video! So I have a quick question. When you said the sound card is wicked. Does it sounds good like the SRT? Or the sound card on the Rane Four doesn’t sound good? That’s my question?

[@djkit]

Sorry about the confusion! I meant 'wicked' in a good way! It's the same soundcard as the high end Rane mixers! Check the full specs here: www.djkit.com/rane/rane-four.html

[@djdreamz24]

hello greetings.could you help me with my Rane 4 Advance,i have 4 new microphones Shure with new wires,there is signal when i touch the mics top but i dont here on voice on my pionerr headphones that are brand new too,i bought yesterday i cheap mic and i still dont hear my voice on my headphones but if o hit the mic head that light of the mixer move up,i went to Guitar center to exchange the mixer for another Rane 4 and i am still having the same problem.i notice that on my Serato Dj pro there is and option on the setting that the MIXER section that has MIC,aux option but seems to be lock becas i can not move anything.

[@demejiawejohnson-realtor8698]

FLX10 has a function where you can flip a mix on 2 decks to a single deck and you can now bring in the next song or beat from the other deck... Can we do something like this on Rane-4 without utilizing the 3rd channel...thanks

[@BarelyLegitBeats]

they should have put those little oled screens abover the effects too so they would change when you swapped out the default effects they chose.

[@djkit]

That would have been pretty sweet. Perhaps in the MK2 version? 😂

[@prezthedj]

And i want to be clear. Right now i have the ddj-sz and while the jog wheels are NOT motorized on the “sz” i can adjust the weight/tension which really helps. I understand on the Rane4 there is no option to adjust the weight/tension of the jog wheels. Is that correct?

[@DJSeizure]

I’m having a lot of issues with the RANE Four and it’s Jogwheel and Play buttons. Sometimes I can’t even blend a song or even play a song. Hopefully they can fix this issues

[@larabanni3810]

Hey.. I was tryin to use my numark party mix on my macbook pro (high sierra 10.13.6) and it is not working...... do u know how to fix it?

[@arseniolacson3383]

I love it. But after I did a firmware update , the left jog wheel starts having an issue. It’s not responsive anymore. It lost the back spin feature. SUCKS !!! Any help ???

[@Beocaaa]

Rane will announce a motorized version of this by the time mine arrives

[@Deveron-er7rc]

Yes you answer my question. I don't have to download serito software. Because it's built in. Thank you

[@iamGomEda]

Just a question. Can you play 4 different songs? like a 4 channel mixer or 3 and 4 is just for a instrumental 1's and 2's?

[@djkit]

Yes, totally! This is can be used as a normal 4 channel channel controller as well! 🔥

[@DJ_WAG]

Hello, brother, is the feeling of the turntable the same as that of CDJ3000? Is it really easy to control? I am very worried that it will be too slippery and difficult to control, especially during Scratch. Besides, it is really the most perfect controller in the near future. Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

[@kboogie23]

I sent my back because the jogs were to slippery and loose with no a djustment

[@prezthedj]

@@kboogie23 thanks for your comment. I’ve been trying to get confirmation that there is no ability to adjust the weight/tension of the jog wheels right. It’s just whatever you get out of the box is what it is that’s really disappointing especially since the jog wheels aren’t motorized.

[@kboogie23]

@@terryjackson1 no reason to lie. I needed more weight on the jog, coming from using turntables it’s not close to being the same. Now if you are a controller user then it may be the best out there just not for me.

[@devinsoucy8070]

what cameras are you using for your set-up?

[@MichelleFSmith-sc1vh]

I was going to ask the same question! The clarity was so good!

[@overlordgaming7932]

I wish the platters turned that would have made that controller amazing

[@desicryer8346]

It's coming! There is leaked video showing someone using it during a Superbowl event. When it comes out I'm going to sell my Rev 7 and get it. I can't wait!

[@davidcummings5984]

The Rane 4 is ideal for making sounds, but it's too overloaded with options

[@donaldchilnerjr175]

Should just get rid of the faders they should just make transformer switches for on-and-off if going to slap them up that hard every time

[@djdaboie]

Whats the name of the amapiano remix you used on this video? Thanks

[@djkit]

The two tunes used in this video are: Timbaland - The Way I Are - Richastic Remix Rihanna - Rude Boy - BROSKI Remix

[@thetruth3775]

The jog wheels are slipping. You have to apply too much pressure to them, otherwise they don’t correspond with your touch.

[@keithybrinson7804]

Does Stem mode work for tracks and waveforms that Serato and Rane have never heard of? Does it work on everything?

[@thedjguru]

Stems is software based. Nothing to do with Rane, all Serato. Doesn't matter what the track is. Serato will analyse it on load and try to separate the parts. Some will come out better than others.

[@keithybrinson7804]

@@thedjguru thanks for the reply ! I’m sure the stem crossovers can be creative for many types of music 👍🏾

[@marvinwilliams8254]

Is the controller a plug up and go controller or do u have to do something else

[@thedjguru]

@@marvinwilliams8254 you'll need a computer that's up to spec to run Serato DJ Pro! Some music and some speakers I guess.

[@djkit]

You need to download the Rane FOUR driver for your laptop to recognise it.

[@hassandjhaboogiespin4550]

The Motorized .. Version is Gonna Be’ INSANELY!!!!!! PRICEY!!!!😮😏, Just Be My Witness… i owns The RANE4’…. Gonna Rock out on Saturday Again’…😜, My Technics is My Life!!!!, Rane4 Will Be My On the Go!!!! … Choice .. AT TIMES!!! just gotta Master The Best OPTIONS’….😅

[@MrTolgig]

serato is okay for electronic and techno genre you think ? after watch flx-10 vids , rane four seems much more appealing

[@djkit]

Tolga, you can play any genre on any software, it's completely up to you! 💪

[@DanielLopez-jv9mq]

This seems like Native Instruments Stems files for Traktor.

[@djkit]

Same premise, but on the fly!

[@wilsongyimah8290]

Does this controller has the sync button?

[@desicryer8346]

Yes. The sync button is clearly seen in the video.

[@wilsongyimah8290]

@@desicryer8346 yeah I realized it has the sync button after watching the whole video. Thank you for answering my question anyway.

Where did rane 2,3 go

Arriving Friday

[@djkit]

You're going to love it!

[@wikkidselekta]

Real-time stems at your fingertips is a sigh of relief, after all these years, if you think about it. I can even remove MOST IF NOT ALL my true instrumentals and true acapellas from my digital collection since they'll just be redundant now.

[@djkit]

No doubt! As long as you have a laptop that can handle stems on the fly! 😂

[@BarelyLegitBeats]

stems is good but in no way can reproduce a studio acapella or instrumental. keep your acapellas and instruementals.

[@thatchinaboi1]

Stems make it possible to make longer blends that would otherwise not be possible.

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

What? You don't need to reanalyze your tracks, you can just press and play with existing tracks?

[@luisfigueroa8840]

At this time a controller need to able to play also pendrives and be a laptop slave

[@bosmanragga51]

Man you are right man I dont know whats wrong with these companies theres nothing really exciting in the dj market

[@JamilleGreaves]

What?? No motorized platters?

cool video but why is the device down by your knees? man's gonna put his back out.

Hahaha! 17 years of DJing, my back is already out! I am working on my booth though, watch this space!

[@funky8breaksouljah]

"Push the button..." another tamagoshi.

[@drjust2011]

needs motor platters.....

[@robpeters5204]

I really wish there was someone that explained this a little slower for beginners instead of assuming everyone already knows it.

[@jerrychisholm8565]

hes very harsh on his faders , thats very unnessesary ..his rane wont last

[@milkflavour82]

I saw this comment and was like 🙄 then I watched the video and saw the dude is absolutely ABUSING those faders totally unnecessarily so had to come back and like your comment 😂

[@luisfigueroa8840]

Any controller that depends on laptops at this time of the game is obsolete. My opinion.

[@bosmanragga51]

Very true these guys are just stealing our money and I hear many Rane 4 units got issues very risky to buy

[@TheDjelements]

It’s too bad the microphone output is garbage

[@DjSportsGirl86]

This Dj controller is expensive

[@djkit]

How much do you think it should have been?

[@bosmanragga51]

And it doesnt even play USB stick

[@superb.3703]

Bro....u talking way too much

[@djjessiejames317]

The effect sucks

[@dj_kenneth]

too much talking!!

[@robpeters5204]

Dude, you are NOT a real Dj. You are just playing a video game console!

[@beatzandwheels]

The only thing for me here is that you can EQ and put effects on seperate stems quite easily. Other than that... this controller has no moving platters and isnt as revolutionary featurwise as people may thinnk.... cool direct control over stems... but besides eq and put seperate effects on all 4 stem tracks.... it does not do much more than my rane one with stems... mhm. Other than that the rane one is more compact and has moving platters... but I WILL say that the crossfader on the rane four is much better than on the rane one. The x-fader on the rane one has such a long cut-in... which is quite weird to me bc rane was branding it as the controller for turntablists. The crossfader is way worse than on any rane mixer I have ever used.... Love the controller for juggling...and scratching.... but everytime I change over to my mixer it feels freeing, bc a lot of cuts cant be done on such a long cut-in distance.

[@djkit]

It also has four channels compared to two on the RANE ONE. These are different products targeted at different DJs. Always use what works best for you!
