Should DJs Learn How to Scratch with the Rane One? | Quick Review

[@kingsfan2099]

Almost 10k baby. Keep the grind. Love your videos...

[@DJLiftOFF]

Almost there bro 🙌🏾🙌🏾.. thank you, honestly. It’s been a fun grind

[@ticoinjapan]

Platter on my rane one stops when I perfom the tears in a joe cooley scratch combo

[@DJLiftOFF]

Ahhh that’s weird. Does it randomly happen randomly?

[@DJTeddyJetts]

Finally getting mine this week. Almost changed my mind and got the Rev7 but in Amazon the Rev7 ships in 3 to 5 weeks! Rane One ships in 2 days. Time is money, I am not paying more to wait longer. Wish Rane One would just update their mixer to have hardware effects! Either way I'm excited about getting the Rane One. Starting to get calls about some Spring gigs so I need mine ASAP so I'm fully acclimated before my first gig of the year in 2 weeks. I just cant wait to get my hands on mine! I already feel more confident knowing I dont have to pull up to anymore gigs with my ddj sr2 lol. I love my SR2, it got me started. But it's being demoted to my ceremony/backup controller for weddings. I need something more geared for scratching. Im an 80s baby at the end of the day. I already scratch a lot of songs in on the SR2 but it just doesnt feel right. Transformers are super difficult on jogwheels because you cant feel the platter move when you release, so just feels like you are petting the jogwheel and you cant see where you need to grab the record and pull back, no spin position indicators. Yea so. Really excited. Should have mine by the weekend. And a new streaming camera and lights. 2022 gigs and streaming! Lets get it!!!! Great content as usual LiftOFF! A1

[@Paigey2015]

Im also going from ddj sr2 to this..very excited about the upgrade!

[@ignoranceisnotatrend4669]

I'm a 80s dj as well, what's your thoughts on the rev 5 ? At my age I'm more concerned about creating clean mixes.

[@DJTeddyJetts]

@@ignoranceisnotatrend4669 I am actually considering getting a Rev 5 very soon. Though I would prefer motorized platters. I do like the features of the rev5. Dedicated stems buttons and on board fx. Seems like a pretty good controller.

[@chukwuebukachijioke5120]

I love this controller, i have seen it many times and it’s top on my to-do list 2022

[@DJLiftOFF]

👌🏾👌🏾 def a good one!

[@MrBootboy09]

Do you give scratch lessons?

[@MassBayDJ]

I love my Rane one, I switched around the the knobs as it’s hard to see in a dark room. And also added a skin to see the controls better. I wish them front knobs would recess into the controller as I sometimes brush against the contours. Great step up from a regular controller, next step is 12’s or turntables. Love the videos man, I’ve learned a lot from you.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Thanks for the comment man 🙏🏾 truly appreciate it! I really like the Rane one for a quick mobile set up, but there’s nothing like some good turntables or a Rane 12 set up.

[@warrensid]

I have the same issue with my Rane one. I recently saw a comment on KZbin about switching the knobs from the deck/crossfader contiurs with the mic eqs. Now I don’t have the same issue and I don’t really use the mic 2 eqs so it works out great. My crossfader contoir was always turning mid set and was not good lol

[@DaKlubHK]

Definitely had my eyes on this for a while my brother has one. It's dope to me. Especially with the two laptops. So we share the deck and mix song for song. It's fun

[@DJLiftOFF]

Ahhh that sounds dope!!

[@Blaze44215]

Two laptops can work at the same time?

[@DaKlubHK]

@@Blaze44215 yes. You have two USB ports where u can hookup the laptops. You can share the decks. One person can use the left side someone can use the right. However you want to do it

[@rotaryskratch18]

So... the slipmat is what controls the scratching? Or is there another disc between the platter and slip mat? Because doing real scratching on vinyl the record is sliding on the slip mat and platter, the platter should barely slow down. If you have to push/pull the entire platter, I'm NOT getting one.

[@DJLiftOFF]

There are slip mats! However, after a while, I found that I enjoyed scratching with other controllers more than the Rane one. Others seem to really like it though.

[@teknikal73]

Biggup Dj Liftoff. Thanks for taking time out to share the knowledge. As Rane One only uses Serato FX, i'd be interested to hear what your favorite FX were to use in combination or solo in. Keep up the good work mate. Respect from the UK

[@DJLiftOFF]

Thanks man 🙏🏾 - you’re welcome! To be honest, I only use the combo fade echo and reverb. And I am almost always using them independently!

[@MassBayDJ]

I like using the delay fx, you get some cool sounds that with hpf/lpf

[@drina_paris]

Thank you DJ..I cant wait..about to do a major upgrade for birthday.

[@DJLiftOFF]

🙏🏾🙏🏾 love to hear it!! And you’re welcome.

[@curtiskeller7852]

Can u link this up wit a SP 404 for effects?

[@DJLiftOFF]

That I’m not 100% sure of

[@gabrielledavis6382]

Now that the Rev7 is out should I still get the Rane One? Or should I wait to see what else Rane comes out with? 🤔

[@DJLiftOFF]

That’s a good question honestly! I’ve still yet to use the Rev7 and I’m literally DYING to. I want to compare it to the Rane One but I’ve heard nothing but greats things about both honestly. I’m not sure how soon Rane will come out with something next so it might be a good investment to grab the Rev7 or Rane one!

What website did you get your slipmats

[@DJLiftOFF]

I just looked it up but honestly can’t even remember. It may have just been Amazon 🤔

[@wreges]

congratulations for the channel Fantastic ! Excellent controller, show. But, I saw that the felt of this Rane One is not painted with the Rane brand logo. You noticed ? Every unbox I saw on the felt had the Rane logo painted in white. I'm buying one and curious to see how it comes. I'm from Brazil and I follow your channel.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Thank you! Really appreciate it. And no, I actually didn’t even notice! Did you get yours yet?

[@wreges]

@@DJLiftOFF yea I got mine and it also came without the Rane logo painted on the slider. sent vaios email to Rane with no replies

[@courtneywilson8258]

Do you have the DdJ SX3?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Nah, I don’t think I’ve ever used the SX3.

[@atypical_blk_guy]

The rane one is my dream controller but I couldn't justify paying $1500 for my 2nd controller so I got a preowned ddj-1000 to continue learning and to grow into.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Definitely a great idea to continue growing in to the DDJ 1000 because that’s also a higher end controller (not a beginner controller).

[@atypical_blk_guy]

@@DJLiftOFF Bro, your interview with Dj Jordan Lee inspired me to pull the trigger on a rane one.

[@DjTecniq]

Every time i look at the Rane One i can’t help but notice how crammed the mixer section is…everything is totally bunched together and the platters are not even centered symmetrical with the mixer section. The layout is just extremely claustrophobic. I had to preorder the Rev 7.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Very valid points man. I honestly wanna check out the Rev 7 myself. I just keep hearing about the platters possibly not being durable. I’ve been a pioneer guy forever tho so I’ll probably get one either way.

[@keithchegwin1222]

I want to buy some DJ equipment for mobile DJing. I like the the technical side of DJing like you do it. I'll have to buy a new laptop etc. What would you buy if you were planning on doing parties/wedding? Thanks 👍

[@DJLiftOFF]

Appreciate it! I would grab 2 powered Electro Voice speakers for tops, and any subwoofer with at least 1,000 watts. I’d grab a gig bar 2 (I have one and I hear people like it better than the new gig bar move) and it’s perfect for weddings. Wireless microphone, anything that’s affordable but with good quality. I’d go with a shure. Then lastly, a Dj facade to cover your Dj table and look professional. Maybe some cheap up lights to put behind the Dj facade to bring it to life as well.

[@jarmalrice3475]

I just want to learn how to scratch my songs in real good not a whole lot of scratching. I’m stuck between this and the Srt 1000 but don’t think I need 4 channels. But ready to upgrade from an SB3 which way do you think I should go?

[@DJLiftOFF]

I personally love 4 channels because it gives me the ability to be more creative and have more tracks ready on the fly. However, I’ve been DJ’ing on a 2 track mixer for a long period of time now and I’m getting used to it. I’d say go with the 1000SRT because you might quickly outgrow the SB3!

[@MikeFromBoston]

My only complaint about this controller is I feel the platters are a little stiff. I just upgraded to the Rane One and it being my first time using moving platters, it would be a much easier transition if I didn’t have to pull the things back so hard when juggling. Do you think getting new mats would help?

[@DJLiftOFF]

New slip mats always help!! I actually felt like my Rane one was actually a little too slippery and it took some getting used to. But yea, the right slip mats makes scratching 100% better

[@notoriousd.a.d]

There’s a switch on the back that allows you to change the speed of the platters too, right?

[@MikeFromBoston]

@@notoriousd.a.d yeah but after having used a controller for my first 8 months, even the low settings of a motorized platter feels a lot different. On the controller you can scratch with just your fingertips but on a platter you really need your whole hand to get good control. The Rane ones platters are a little small and the center lock prevents you from using your entire hand.

[@jamalwaters8556]

THE MORE YOU USE IT, THE LESS STIFF THE PLATTERS GET

[@williamorr6351]

CAN YOU USE VIRTUAL DJ WITH THIS CONTROLLER

[@DJLiftOFF]

I think so, but I’m not 100% sure!

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

Would of been nice to see you actually cut and scratch on the Rane one and Show em how it’s done!

[@DJLiftOFF]

Definitely gotta get a mix in soon on the Rane one! 💯

[@doesitmatter3532]

man i need a one on one lesson with you, me and my Rane one.............lol

[@DJLiftOFF]

I’m actually doing 1 on 1 lessons sooner than later!!

[@DJKingJustice1k]

Since you keep your music in I Tunes , how much storage does you computer have

[@DJLiftOFF]

I’ve always had a computer with at least 500GB of storage. I have a 1TB hard drive now because I do a lot of video editing too.

[@DJTeddyJetts]

Unless something else comparable comes out in the next few months, this will be my next controller for sure. Then the optimal goal is to eventually get a rane 12 setup. But the rane one looks like a perfect entry into learning motorized platters. Ive heard quite a few DJs use the Rane One and it has sounded great everytime. I have hit a plateau of sorts with scratching on DDJ platters. I need to experience the feel of moving platters, i can just see how much more control you have with Rane platters. So if anyone wants to bless me this x-mas hmu! Lol.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Ahaha would def be a blessing gift! But I feel you 100% on getting the Rane 12 set up - it’s super dope. I like the Rane one for a easy mobile set up, but still not close to the other rane 12s and a rane 72 or S9/S11

[@DJTeddyJetts]

@@DJLiftOFF I got mine now! I love it! Had it for a week! I definitely notice the difference in the sound card. But to have spinning platters at my fingers and such a sturdy controller, and great feeling controls and crossfader. The fx is still a bummer, especially since the fx paddles feel so good. What an oversight. But honestly with the soundcard it actually improves the sound of the fx from serato. But just a little... In just a week my scratching has improved. Trying to learn on jogwheels was awful. Transformers or cut scratches are just awkward as a beginner. Having moving platters has enabled me to truly start practicing scratching. Which I just think is a valuable tool to keep transitions fresh. When I first started I was sure I was gonna be a Pioneer DJ. I didnt know how long it would be before I could really justify buying huge turntables. The Rane One opened that door for me. I was already gonna spend 1300 on a DDJ1000 SRT ...i didnt see the point once the Rane One came out. I honestly dont think I would have even liked the Rev7 as much as I do the Rane One. I like the sturdy feel and the rigid build. Everything feels perfectly tactile. Where its easy to forget theres a laptop attached to it. I have literally forgotten to load the next song and just transitioned into the song I had just played, again lol. My laptop was an after thought. Thats when I knew I made the right purchase for sure lol.

[@ElevateandBlend]

Such a fun controller a joy to use. Even better than the rev7

[@DJLiftOFF]

I haven’t used the Rev7 yet but I’m definitely loving the Rev1. The Rev7 is definitely a high price point so I’m eager to see if it lives up to the hype

[@curt356]

The fader is trash on mines. I did all of the adjustments and the cut in time isn't fast like it should be.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Mannn, I feel your pain. I like the cutting better on the Rev1 than I do on the Rane one honestly. I might need to make an update video because at the time, I didn’t really realize that the cutting wasn’t super reactive.

[@khadijbey8011]

My Crossfader doesn’t cut off from other deck still hear the music playing while scratching..any suggestions ?thanks ..

[@Dapahk5]

Good vid, Im a pair of numark ntx1000. What the name of your slip mats?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Dr. Suzuki x Technics Slipmats! Love em

[@TheDertydime]

@@DJLiftOFF where did you buy the slip mats it trying to get some for my rane one

[@aj6761]

Yeah I'm on a SB3 and I am not happy learning to scratch on that. But I don't see myself elevating above hobbyist so I can't justify buying something with moving platters.

[@DJLiftOFF]

I hear you 100%! It’s definitely an investment.

[@chefanthonyartica8266]

Got it the other day and returned it 2 days later. It was okay but not my cup of tea. Faders were too heavy and the cue buttons were too small. The large Effects switches were obnoxious. I can say that I tried it but it's not for me. On a positive note, the best thing about the Rane One is the Metal Platter which felt just like a 1200, it brought me way back. If only Pioneer had that on a CDJ I would be sold.

[@DJLiftOFF]

I’m actually selling mine now. Def not my speed either tbh. Still a very solid controller, though.

[@affluence6390]

Rane one or rev 7?

[@DJLiftOFF]

I’m finally getting the Rev 7 soon. I’m going to say Rev 7 - I have a lot of faith in it!

Disagree. The mic sounds like shit on the rane one. Unless I have a faulty unit. Super distorted. Tried both inputs with my QLXD. Gains down too.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Damn really? I have a QLXD series Shure and it sounded great each time on the Rane One, but terrible with my S9. Interesting though. Hope a few more people comment under this.

[@stevedub5006]

@@DJLiftOFF Yeah I tried my wired Shure mic (forget the model) and the same results. I'm hoping some more wedding DJs can chime in to let us know how their mics sound through the Rane. If mine is faulty I'll be sending it back. I ended up just buying a $100 Yamaha mixer to run it through and connect the mic directly to that and I'm happy with the results and it also gives me more control over my system overall.
