I've been rocking with you subscribed liked and commented for 3 years.... You're work, skill, creativity, dopeness on the decks as well as video content creation is legendary. We're literally watching you grow and blow up in real time... But I've always hated pioneer. I started when Pioneer was only known for cheap house audio. The standards were Technic & Vestax... Then very one else accordingly. Gemini had their moments Numark as well but always middle and lower tiered and of course a&h and the like but for me using pioneer controllers, cdjs, mixers, pro anything really always gave me the same feeling as when I had to use their crappy house systems. The Rev7 is cool but its been done before & better over 10 years ago... The Ns7iii still is fully capable to this day... Yeah it weighs as much as a dead body... But its more than capable. But this Rev1 is absolutely a game changer. Capability, price, mobility... This here is a winner. Game changer for real and will have a way bigger sales impact and culture than rev7. This is unlimited possibilities... Dj anywhere anytime with the best layout at less then $300. Pioneer ya finally got me.

so i dj on traktor with a s4 mk3 but as i’ve been getting more gigs i find it evident i need to learn serato better and get more used to it if i want to do this for work. would this be good for me? i would mainly just use it for my own practice with serato but i would more than likely be using cdjs if i’m being forced to use serato at a gig. i’m used to 4 channels and loads of effects but i get it’s not necessary. tl:dr pro traktor player wants to know if this good for learning serato/future cdj use

As always, great review! Can I use this in events like wedding receptions (up to 150 guests)? I will run it through an external mixer. I am currently using the SX2 but I wanted to scale down the size and weight of my controller. Also will I be able to carry-over the Serato DJ Pro I got from SX2 to the Rev1? What about the Serato packs like Flip, pitchNtime, etc. I have all the Serato Packs except for the DVS.
@atypical_blk_guy Жыл бұрын
Why not scale down to the sr2? It's the 2 channel version of the sx series. The rev1 would be too much of a downgrade.
@atypical_blk_guy Жыл бұрын
Also you'd have to purchase serato pro or pay a monthly subscription. The rev1 plus serato pro would cost a little over $500 assuming you bought the software.
