Reloop RP-8000 Professional Hybrid MIDI DJ Vinyl Turntable HD-Video Review

[@ceedubble3157]

You're really helping me get back into DJing man... I need to see you scratching on these deck. FYI... I grew up on 1200s so I need the feel of that strong platter

[@RealDJblaze]

Thanks man, I been spinning for a very long time and I thank you for watching... These are even stronger than the 1200's so you will be right at home...

[@Pillowcase]

even the dicers light up the triggers in different colours to be super clear about what the button is. being built in - they really ought to have full color on each pad...

[@TheAnunnaki-NYC]

Finally! someone who knows what they are talking about! Absolutely the best review with the underground knowledge of the SUPER OEM/HANPIN units compared to the Technics 1200 MK series. I enjoyed this review very much. Thanks for taking the time to educate people very in-dept. I'm yet to test one of these SUPER OEM units since all I ever used was 1200's. My question to you is, What do you think of the floating platter design? Is there wobble when scratching? For the slightly heavy handed DJs?

[@RealDJblaze]

Thanks! There is absolutely NO wobble at all... even if you stood on top of it... It doesn't float in the sense that you may think as it is attached via the steel ring towards the center of the platter. It's solid though...

[@slik]

I have the 1200 but I'm really looking forward to get my hand on one of these but 1 Q do they have a built in sound card like the cdjs that would amazing!! Thou I doubt it

[@djawek]

Hi, which gramophone have better torque Stanton St 150 mk2 or Reloop 8k mk2 ? Thanks ;)

[@291362711]

One last comment or question.... how would you compare these turntables with the ever so popular Stanton Str8 150's???

[@291362711]

What type of mixer do I need with these turntables?

[@DJYagga]

'Sup Kareem? I'm having a real rough time deciding between these, the RP-7000s & the Stanton STR8 150s - I use a Z2 as well, and I'm really leaning more towards the 7000s. I don't need the midi since my mixer already has it...decisions decisions lol

[@claudiogentile5920]

finally wich turntable did you bought and which do you advice?

[@seydevilchick8]

is it better than the stanton ? now there are too many tables to choose from lol ...for a minute there was no options it seems like the midi buttons will bust sooner or later i think they should stay on the mixers

[@291362711]

OK... Thx 4 your answer to my comment... I have a Pioneer DDJSX , how can I incorporate these turntables into my setup???

[@RealDJKai]

ok so you can use these turntables, a normal mixer like a numark n2 and connect to serato dj?

[@RealDJKai]

***** I thought it was plug and play?

[@RealDJKai]

***** Wow the advertising on the site would throw off people who think it's plug and play. All the videos I've seen on youtube, I've never seen a serato rane hardware installed. Hmm I like them But would it be better getting the reloop 6000 instead of these also buying the serato hardware?

[@alexxchavezee]

New to turntables but sold! Thanks!! Liked and sub’ed

[@TheIsraelPost]

though they are almost the same, any chance for a review about the RP-7000 ?

[@todedragos]

Hi! I need your help guys! I currently own a Stanton ST 150 and want to exchange it with another platter, at least as good, but closer to the feeling of Technics. The Stanton has a much stronger torque than the Technics. I usually play on Technics at clubs and the first few minutes are strange because i must to get used to the sensitivity of the Technics. So, the reloop rp 7000 will fit to my needs ? Thanks in advanced! Any opinion is welcome :).

[@alexsthillaire]

U said one of your gripes was the on/off motor function,but if u stop and think the start/stop feature basically does what u would want the motor switch to do;stop the motor.No cover is crazy though.

[@alexsthillaire]

Hey I consider u a professional who has adapted through the years with all the DJ world has to offer, we now have a turntable that's now map-able to dj software plus torque adjustable so there must be a give and take bro.I'm sure u can make that feature work for u.

[@alexsthillaire]

If things work the way we want them to wouldn't that be boring?

[@sSeSs808]

I have 1200's and never used or tried any other turntables. I use my tables at home and mobile gigs. I see you've tried a lot of different tables and I wanted to ask if and when my 1200's break for some reason which turntable would be your go to table next??

[@sSeSs808]

Yes I did check out the vid and it's a great review!! After doing some research I think I would go with the 7000's just cuz seems like it's built and made well and has that 1200 look! Yea I can do without the que points. Thx!!

[@BpmSupreme]

great review!

[@ls4life544]

@Kareem first of all thanks for the review on the RP-8000. My question to you and anyone who may read this. I have the Denon SC3900 Hybrid Turntable and to be crazy I have and use Traktor Pro, Serato Dj, and the new Rekordbox DJ software. The question is this how would you start rebuilding your DVS system. what would you buy first the turntable or mixer and for my taste I like to get into a battle mixer. I also already have the DJM-850 with mini innofader but I am looking to get something I could use across each platform. For what ever your answer may be what would you recommend, money is not to say not important because it is but I like to buy once not over and over. Sorry for the long post.

[@RealDJblaze]

+Landy Delossantos For a DVS setup, there is only a few mixers that would work with all the software. You may have to pick a software you like the most, then get the mixer to work with it. For turntables I would get the Stanton ST150 but you can look at the Epsilon Turntables which are half the price but has the same motor, tonearm, and much more...

[@ls4life544]

+DJbooth DJ's Thanks DJbooth.

[@doctorshabs]

Hey waddup Kareem ! Did u get to test reloop 7000 or will you review it soon?

[@doctorshabs]

***** They are very similar, but i believe 7000 you can get 1.6 tq much similar to technics torque compared to 8000 minimum is 2.5 tq

[@justafake2012]

anyone got the mappings for traktor ?

[@mrvictor83]

Man..... I am jealous.... I am waiting for mine....... for over a month now.

[@locopayton3340]

Hi,great review. I am wondering if you could help me, I am using traktor scratch with an A6 soundcard. I have a pioneer 707 mixer, so i am craving midi controll. But would I be able to use the midi controll on the reeloop rp8000 with my setup? Or do i need another soundcard or something?

[@RealDJblaze]

You can certainly use the buttons and knobs on the RP-8000's to control lots of the features in Traktor. There is a Traktor mapping for the RP-8000 that you can load into the Traktor Pro 2 software. It should be at the reloop website. If not, I'm sure you can search and find a Mapping for it on google.

[@locopayton3340]

***** Thank you for your quick response :-)

[@rolanddonovan]

the Power button now just winds down with audio still playing like the old 1200s. Just bought mine today so maybe they listened to you guys

[@nikrumble4678]

I've been trying to map my 8000s to get the midi to work with my tractor scratch pro 2 program have you got a video to show you how to do so. id prefer to use the midi on my rp8000 instead of the keyboard short cuts it will seem a lot quicker

[@RealDJblaze]

I believe they have a mapping file on the reloop website so you don't have to do it yourself. You just install the .TSI file and it should be plug and play...

[@nikrumble4678]

cool thank you its been a mass stress to try get it up and running

[@aggin9543]

Thinking about getting a pair of turntables. Having tough time deciding on which ones to get. I was looking at these or the pioneer plx 1000. Any insight? Please and thank you

[@RealDJblaze]

I like the Stanton 150s the best because they have more metal in them than the PLX or these Reloop. They are heavier and they have the rubber bottom too. That is my insight...

[@tk-sf6go]

Is there any solutions for odd motor-off behavior?

[@PurpleFreq708]

Does it work with Engine and/or djay? Thanks.

[@tebatiatakaria4870]

Hi mate....what is more reliable the reloop or the stanton....im looking for something that will last long....

[@RealDJblaze]

+Tebatia Takaria I like the Stanton rubber bottom and the heavier weight, but the reloop has the same tonearm, platter, and motor, so it should hold up for a long time too.

[@tebatiatakaria4870]

thank you very much for your feedback...i'll go for the stanton...have a nice day..

[@djmixtycal7238]

I have a pair of this, TRAKTOR Z2 mixer and SL2 box any info on how I could get this to work?

[@RealDJblaze]

Djmixtycal It's a lot to set up actually. First download Serato DJ. Plug your USB cables into the computer from the turntables and SL2 Box and the Z2. Then you need to Map the buttons and such on the Z2 to work with Serato yourself. Should work after all of this...

[@ronnygoodman75]

Will this hold up against heavy vibration and heavy scratching? Very Good review by the way!

[@nebkheru6424]

DJ Angelo did a really nice routine with these turntables.

[@djmixtycal7238]

I have mapped the Z2 mixer but for some reason the tt midi are not working on my SERATODJ interface

[@RealDJblaze]

Djmixtycal Not sure what you mean...

[@djmixtycal7238]

After hours of messing about with the RP8000 and Serato DJ, I just can't get the midi buttons to work or light up. The Reloop website shows no firmware updates for the reloop and Serato state its plug and play now with Serato DJ. So I plug and I can play with the turntable but no buttons light up and loops, cues etc do not work. Please can anyone help! Using Reloop RP8000, SL2, TRAKTOR Z2 MIXER, Mac Pro, Serato DJ latest upgrade

[@jonathonlesko3554]

What's the difference between phono and line mode?

[@LormaG]

Hi mate, just a quick question, can you switch between analogue with these or is it time code only?

[@RealDJblaze]

djdazzdeebo both

[@Dowmatic]

i bought 2 rellops 7000 and both suffered from tone arms issues. they were wobbly/loose and the anti skate did not work either. maby i got a bad batch but something feels fishy.

[@RealDJblaze]

+Dowmatic Thats a possibility. You can also tighten down the tonearms yourself using a screwdriver. You have to be very gentle and it should only take like an eight of a turn on each of the tonearm screws. I've seen this before on other Super-OEM turntables...

[@danadane4092]

Im looking to buy a pair of this bad boys.There is no question about the torque and stuff but i like to ask if they last long? Would be very pleased with a honest reply xD

[@RealDJblaze]

[@CharlieT98]

So is the only difference between the RP-8000 and RP-7000 the MIDI controls? or is there an actual difference in quality?

[@RealDJblaze]

The Junglist 2 Hip Hop Head Connection MIDI control is the only difference.

[@CharlieT98]

Thanks man

[@INFAMOUSDJREMIX]

Wish U would have Actually gave a Mini Demonstration on 2 of them and LOOPED Together on Serato instead of just 1. Im interested in How they Actually Act LOOPED Together from 1 to Another
