Good morning. When applying the sticker on the platter, is the goal to line the sticker up with one of the 'notches' and, if so, which one? The notch at 12 o'clock or the notch at 2 o'clock? Or does it simply not matter when I place it? There are little white markers at the 12 o’clock position and 2 o’clock position. Was just wondering if there were landmarks I could use when lining up the platter marker. Thanks. Thanks in advance!!

Great Content as always! I totally agree with you. I personally prefer a more simplified workflow and only 2 channels.

[@djtheob01]

Hi, as the Rev 7 has such a week pick up when you let go of the platter, it's disappointing to hear that the Rane Performer feels the same... And.. yes I've tried using 2 pioneer slip rings & after market slips but in reality the R7 feels nothing like a SL12! The only way the R7 can be used is to hold the 7" platter with the lightest touch when you let go! Unless you enjoy watching the platter slowly trying to play catch up & equalise the torque from the motor below. It's catch 22... You can achieve a quick pick when only using a single slip ring but you lose the ability to perform a 4-beat spin back! Long spin backs & quick pick ups are very important to me in my performances. I'm so tired of being asked to play out on these Mickey Mouse toys on

[@djcarlo]

Nothing can really replace the feel of genuine turntables, but I wouldn't call these ones toys. In fact, I can still do some pretty fun routines with these guys, without much adjustment! Maybe the feel of motorized jogwheels just isn't for you 😊

[@JRthepyroguy]

If we Rane 4 owners could change our platters to motorized that would be a great idea because we have spent a lot of money already Maybe you could suggest that to Inmusic a motorized kit I’m sure they would like to sell the parts needed for a easy upgrade I would buy it Now

[@djcarlo]

I'm not powerful enough to do that, haha, but I think the reason why that won't work too is because they moved things around to make that work. Externally, the layouts are similar, but internally, there are other changes that won't be easy to just re-do

Thanks so the review, i got the rane four last year after watching your amazing review. today before watching this video i was worried . but actually i don't need or use the motorized platters , so its more about the new fxs .. i am still happy with my Rane four and it is still the beast for me. i hope rane will not disconnect it to push this one.

[@djcarlo]

I dont think they will haha. The Performer's target market is somewhat more niche than the Four's if you ask me, so both should satisfy the folks looking for them! The Four is absolutely still a beast!

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

How is the jogs for beat jiggling ans spinbacks? Learning some more turntablism and scratching is why I want this unit over the Four... do the slip rings let you tune the feel for good backspins?

[@djcarlo]

Yes they certainly do! Check out my exhibition video, but to make things short, they feel amazing and work as any other turntable.

[@dj_larryk]

Exactly what I am looking for and it will include USB stick using, hope they manufacture that before the end of the year

[@Lava-Puperze]

One important question, at least for me, regarding the feel of the motorized platters...on the rev7 I found it quite hard to sync manually by touching the sides of the platters, slow down is no problem, but push forward/faster was difficult. I'm an old vinyl junkie and on the 1210s we had the spindle in the middle or we could slightly push the top of the vinyl or give it a smooth push at the metal on the side of the wheel if you know what I mean. Everyone had his own technique for it. I found it hard to get the feeling right in this regards on the rev 7, it was not as precise and forgiving as I was hoping for. I know we have the plus and minus buttons, they do their work and they do it good...but...it feels wrong to me to push a button to match the speed of my tracks. Is there a difference between the Performer and the Rev7? Is it "easier" and more precise on the Performer? 😬

[@djcarlo]

Truth be told, there's barely any difference from how I felt it. I actually mentioned that at the start of the review. Nothing can really replace the feeling of a couple of 1200s, especially with the middle spindle to "catch up" with the beats if you ask me

So during a blend sometimes you lose all the highs. It took Rane forever to acknowledge it... and once i send it in for repairs they said they couldn't find the problem and send it back unfixed. I then had to make a video demonstrating the problem and now i have to send it back in yet again...... this has been going on now for nearly 6 months. Anyway i purchased a FLX10 in the mean time.....and once the Rane finally gets fixed i plan on selling it off. The Rane is an absolutely amazing piece of gear... and i did love using it.

Thanks John, really appreciate that! I ran with the saying "go hard or go home", so here we are haha

[@FM-ne5pz]

take my money, i beg you

[@djcarlo]

It's amazing, ain't it?

[@FireTheHoker]

Unless it can run Crisis i don't give a shit.

[@djcarlo]

Crisis is a really good game!

[@dj2big]

Does it work with DJay IOS

[@djcarlo]

For now, not yet natively. But, the dev team from Algoriddim says it's possible to map it to Djay Pro

[@dj2big]

@@djcarlo thanks for the info

[@neemyn407]

It has 4 decks at the same time but the jog display only shows you 3? Can it display all 4 decks simultaneously on the jog screens?

[@djcarlo]

If I recall, the display will only show the actively selected channel's wave form.

[@vj-nikkolax8008]

How can I know if motorized platers are the best or the worst for me? Can you compare the four and performer platers? I never played with turntables so I don't if I going to have a better experience or if I should buy a rane four

[@djcarlo]

Do you like how your non moving players are? Then stick with it! Moving platters (in my opinion) are for those DJs who prefer scratching and juggling! But if you don’t scratch, don’t consider it!

[@djrizama]

Everything sounds great, except the Rane has the worst customer service and warranty!

[@djcarlo]

So I've seen from a few comments, but I still have to give massive props to their R&D for coming up with amazing gear!

[@djtredeucepodcastmixxworld7891]

The controller is awesome, but the layout is what turns me off still ( I have no use for 4 channel any way), I'll stick with my Rev7 (You can use the scratch banks for Stem Separations by Mapping them, which I did and using clear protection around faders to protect the paint) and wait for Pioneer counter-act with their new surprise, we should already know its coming, it just a matter of time when.

[@djcarlo]

Ohhhh, what don't you like about the layout? And fair point on the mapping, but I still feel like Pioneer should actually solve that paint problem instead of us consumers needing to buy more stuff haha

[@djtredeucepodcastmixxworld7891]

@@djcarlo The layout of the pad buttons not being in the middle but I understand what they did in regards or it would kinda been a clone of the REV 7 but four channel, So I understand them to keep as "Rane Distinguished Quality" from others, besides that its still a nice controller. The Rev 7 I'm cool with for now.

[@djtheob01]

Ok, I get it now... For some reason, even though your videos are well put together and informative... and you're a great presenter... ALL your videos start with a disappointed look of despair with the product you're reviewing. If you're going end you're videos with a positive overview, it doesn't make sense to start your video with your head in your hands! You don't need to succumb to these lowball click bate!

[@djcarlo]

You can always just skip the beginning 😅 But wait, I didn't start this video sad? I just jumped into it, and compared it to the Rev7 and Rane Four?

[@catman964]

I have the Rane 4 and that unit just dont have proper output and its not musical at all Denon Prime 4 sounds way better .

[@djcarlo]

The quality of thier soundcards are top notch!

[@catman964]

@@djcarlo can u compare the Denon and the Rane performer side by side using the same tracks .

[@NgaBystron]

Like... very much

[@djcarlo]

It's an excellent controller! One of my favorites on the market now

[@Borderlands808]

would installing an innofader still be better then the mag fader?

[@djcarlo]

I’m not a fan of the innofader. I prefer the mag fader!

[@OncoreDJ]

Hi Carlo, I've Been Following you and your work very closely for a long time. PLEAE A HUMBLE REQUEST Don't promote BPM SUPREME As it's one of the WORST DJ Pools that I have used so far.. Just by Seeing in your Video I took one year Subscription and it wasn't Worth taking the subscription at all.. JUST A humble request.. Thanks.

[@djcarlo]

Oh man, sorry you didn't like it! What didn't you like about them? I actually find a lot of my tracks on there, so my experiences with their pool have been nothing short of fantastic for my taste in music

[@mattrapoza4486]

Like my rev 7 more , having pads on the mixer is a way better workflow . I also have my pads mapped to stems so its exactly the same thing .

[@djcarlo]

That's fair! I do enjoy the pads being in the middle too for scratch routines, but I'll have to admit, the Performer puts up a good fight!

[@raphymartinez]

I’m trying to pay attention but that Daytona keeps taking my eyes off the ball. Awesome watch!

[@djcarlo]

Hahaha, glad you appreciate my little tan line cover 😅

[@trelawnytownmaroons8456]

All stolen from Rev 7

[@djcarlo]

I see your point on the wave forms, but honestly, Rane took pretty much their own technology on this one. You can't customize the slip mats on the REV7

[@5milamila]

Rev 7 stole small moving platter from Fisher Price. So I guess that makes Pioneer a bunch of chumps also...

[@Dannyfr33sh]

I need to sell my ddj flx10 so I can buy this 🔥

They're both excellent controllers!

hey man can u do a mix on the rx3 planning on buying it soon i really want to see how it is

I did one some time ago! It should be under one of the Mix With Me videos

[@roymoxley2587]

Be warned We that bought the Rane 4 had a bunch of issues, Nobody wants to talk about that because all these reviews are salesman ,I own a 4 these are facts Period I did get mine fixed it was a ground issue I fix it myself and no I would not rush out and buy this, I’m done

[@djcarlo]

Oh man, what happened to yours? My Four still works pretty fine 😱

[@roymoxley2587]

If you open it up you will understand how they ground the boards it’s a cheap way of doing it. It has to do with the static ground I’m sure but the engineers could have done it better In my opinion that’s what has been causing a lot of issues.

[@jmoak311]

I can’t believe it took this long for controllers to have decent up faders.

[@djcarlo]

I'd say that controllers have had pretty decent volume faders for a while! But this is just really upping the game

[@jackofalltrades3011]

Sad that Numark had abandoned NS7IV. InMusic is always prioritizing Rane now since they’re acquired them.

[@atypical_blk_guy]

Lol these ns7 comments are getting out of control. The performer is literally the ns7IV you're asking for. Numark is InMusics budget / consumer division. Rane and Denon are their prosumer brands.

[@djcarlo]

I have to agree! The Performer is pretty much the current iteration of the NS7, though with the screens on the jogwheels

[@DJPRO314]

Probably because of Ranes’ reputation of build quality being more popular than the numarks! Numark lost its reputation in the early to mid 90’s!

[@djsmoov416]

Great video. I’m glad I bought one. 😁

[@djcarlo]

Awesome! Can't wait for yours to arrive 🤩

[@CHARLESMADSEN-v9f]

Carlo thanks for all of the great videos you post! I've been dj'ing for a long time and working on getting back into it along with my live sound engineering. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I bought the Rane One in 2022 partly based on your review of it and my love of Rane products going all the way back to the MP44 and owning a TTM54 for years before moving to Serato and a 61 which I had a big problem with the fader reverse buttons on the deck. I still have my 1200's but they don't go out with me anymore and now I want the Performer!

[@djcarlo]

The Performer is essentially the product of a union between the One and Four! Everything good about each is present in it. I do love your history with Rane too; those are classic bits of technology there!

[@CHARLESMADSEN-v9f]

@@djcarlo Truth! I just also discovered that you can change pads to do stems and since I never used the slicer those are now my stem pads!

[@DJSamwellOfficial]

This is the first non-Pioneer controller that I heard of that is Rekordbox compatible.

[@djcarlo]

Oh, you must've misheard. It's mainly for Serato, and the mention of Rekordbox was about the REV7

[@DJSamwellOfficial]

@@djcarlo Oh, OK. Thanks for clearing that up. My bad lol

[@leafsfanforever2896]

A protip: make sure you trust the owner of the establishment where you perform. Hardwell had to cancel his SAGA Festival set due to production issues, and even called them out

[@djcarlo]

This would've been a perfect comment on another video I did some time ago haha, but yes, that's actually why I encourage DJs to always make contracts so, even when production issues arise, you can protect yourself

[@avenjimenez3154]

I have a question DJ Carlo, Should I buy the Pioneer Dj Flx6-Gt or Hercules impulse t7?

Both are good! Depends if you want 4 or 2 channels!
