My current setup is 2 Technics 1200s with a Rane Seventy. I did purchase the Rane Four when it came out. I knew at that time that the platters were static however, I also knew that when Pio dropped their Rev 7, the Four would be the foundation for Rane's answer to the Rev 7 so, I sold the Four and went back to my 1200s waiting on the day that Rane would drop the Four but with motorized platters, it was inevitable given Rane's competitive nature. When I saw that Superbowl sneak peak on the gram, I was excited and thought it may come out towards the 4 quarter of this year. Low and behold, what was sitting in my notification section on the Tube, this review. I knew that Mojaxx would give us a fair and honest assessment of this equipment, like he always does. Cleveland Terry is another one that would give his honest assessment. I do appreciate the work they do for us with these reviews. I just purchased this and can't wait to dig in. Great review, Mojaxx, thank you for all you do.

I happen to have had a Rane 4 in transit due for delivery tomorrow. I immediately called the supplier and set up a swap after watching this. Glad I did!

Thank you, MOJAXX!

Cheers for the video! I’ve had my Rane One since the first shipment to the UK arrived and I still absolutely love it, in fact I think it’s been the best DJ equipment investment I’ve made in years. I held off getting the Rane Four in the hope this would happen, as I love the motorised platters of the One and it looks like it’s been worth the wait.

What a fantastic bit of kit and being a vinyl DJ, this would be perfect for me.

This is the dopest controller of our generation! Thanks for the great, thorough review per usual. Getting one right now!

Excellent review!

What an incredible controller. If it were stand-alone (no laptop), it would be perfect. I think I'll wait.

yo that Mojaxx custom Blue/White skin is awesome!

Great video MJaxx! This video, along with CT's review are the first reviews that I watched to date! Been waiting for the Rane Performer vids to launch since the leak went viral. Thanks for this in-depth review!

Nice wish would love if rane came out with another Rane Twelve update

Brilliant review Mojaxx. Thank you.

Great video. I'm super happy to see this come out. I'm not really a spinning platter kind of guy, but the screens in the jogs have me seeing stars, and I really enjoy upfader play, so this may end up in my shopping cart.

Excellent review like always thank you

I’m really digging the Performer, thanks for the review Mojaxx!

Mojaxx you're getting better at cutting bro. Good stuff!

Excellent review! As always!

16 channels put out this review. I’m not watching anyone till I see mojaxxxxxx!!!

Great review....... I were looking forward for this for a long time.😏👌

Ayyeeee Mojaxx cuttin them boys up!!

Name a better reviewer than the Mighty Mojaxx. I'll wait....

Great stuff. Thanks for the demo!

thats dope af.. i want one, bad! thanks for the review

I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I have the 4 with 2 12mk2’s and I love it but I’ve been waiting for spinning platters in a controller format with 4 channels.

best and honest review as always!!!

Great review as always. Love my rane 4 the layout is what I love the most and dedicated stem buttons. If I had the chance I would love this controller to remind me of my vinyl days on my 1200 technics. I really need to setup my 1200 and bring out my vinyl collection. Thanks again

Looks DOPE!! I've had the One for the last two years and its been a game changer. (Apart from some build quality issues). IMO all Rane needs now is to get their crossfader more competitive with Magvel bc thats whats stopping alot of battle DJs from using Rane steady. The cross fader is EVERYTHING and Magvel is a cheat code with how crispy it is for transforming. But Mag Four with the latest Serato updates is still definitely workable, its just in the era of DJs as Content Creators you cannot cede that advantage to Pioneer. Nice job Rane!!

great review! think I'm going to cop

Mojaxx has been sitting on this review since covid dropped

Come on Mojaxx! I needed you to also speak about the Rane performer vs the rev 7 now

I just want to know why they didn’t opt into naming it the PERFOURMER.

You know when its been skinned rane aint getting it back🤣🤣🤣 gotta be the most rave review that. All your hardware too, must be a rare occurrence you end up keeping a device!! Might be the best controller on the market period. Intrested to see pioneers response!!

I miss having rane based just outside of Seattle when they drop new products. We use to see them out and about with the employees at their gigs before launches all the time.

The only channel I watch on embargo day!

Great video Thank you 🙏🏾

Big up Mojaxx good review

I have a Rane 4 and I love the unit, but I'm not too sure if it's worth the upgrade... If I didn't have the 4, the performer would be my first pick.

Looks dope!

Got mine ordered! Excited to do some weddings with this

What a beast, I like it a lot.

At last, there it is. The rather big 'waiting gap' was curious indeed. Now imagine a Denon/Rane standalone hybrid with spinning 7" platters, that would be killer (and killer heavy, too)

This is the controller I’ve been waiting for since going digital and what will break pioneer DJs heart even more -I’ll ditch RB without a thought … hello Rane

To be able to view your library on the jog wheel is amazing . Would have been nice to have a USB flash drive input the one can play from . That would have made it almost a stand alone controller as well. #LoveIt

It’s good. But for now definitely going not stick with the Rev7. It’s a battle style setup. For me the Rev7 is still perfect.

MOJAXX👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😄🫵🏼You the man’ definitely Broke the performer down w/o a DOUBT!!!!! i bought the PERFORMER’🔥🔥🔥🔥Definitely a Great Treat….. The Fan on the Back was SMART’, Great Thinking’ RANE’🤗, Now the Booklet for Controller needs a Upgrade!!!!

Best motorized controller in my opinion!!!

If this sells well, think the next device from inMusic should be a Denon Prime 4 standalone controller with with motorized platters 🔥

ME. I'M NOT MANY PEOPLE. My one massive complaint about the Rane One is the lack of onboard FX. This is the Rane I've been waiting for and I can't WAIT to run my vinyl through it and even perform on vinyl with it. JFC I think I'm in love.

What I would like (and what will never be released) is the device like this with motorised platters, 2 channels, effects section and no other buttons like pads etc. Just to load mp3s from usb stick and long blend them on the beach as if they were on vinyl.

Really like this. Four channels, Rane's superior build/audio quality, vinyl emulation, track selection on LCDs (No OLED?). Everything does seem cramped in there though, makes the Rane One the more attractive controller in my opinion. However, I think they missed a trick with the hardware implementation of stems. I would have preferred the 3 EQ control of the stems to control drums, bass and melody. 4 vs 3 stem separation is the only thing that differentiates Serato from Djay Pro

Sweet. No need to move on from my Rev 7

Looks like a monster.

I want one

Beautiful!! Seem like they took the NUMARK NS7III and Combined it with the NUMARK NS6II and Added STEAMS and more etc……. Just plain Genius!!!! 😮👀😮👀😮

i like the 4 but love the performer. have both and the rane one. kinda indifferent about switching but the spinning platters are what makes me actually enjoy the rane performer. seems to be the answer.

Great video as always! One question does it have auto bpm detection if you have turntables connected? Thanks

Let’s see how long the motors hold up That’s the question I own a Rane 4 There was ground issues that I repaired myself ,yes I did and I blew the warranty out cause I did not want to send it back due to where I live I can say after that it’s been working like it should .

And TY

My thoughts, this needs to be made compatible with Rekordbox.

First: Have always been a fan to your reviews. Thx for that! Second: After more than 4 months teasing the Performer, it might be a choice to go with. Although it has been out there in the wild with so many guys testing it. My question, as the first DJ's telling, that Serato is not connecting: Which version was used to test it? As always for now nearly 40 years spinning on a pro level: Never change your running system too early. I have NOT been lucky with Macbook M1 / Serato / Numark NS7 III nore with the same set up and Rane One! Serato together with the M1 Chip has connection Issues! Will be resolved with the 3.2 as announced? The 3.1.4 announced PHASE connection solved if connected to Serato BEFORE connect to Mixer. It didn't! So: If you Guys... MoJax, Cleveleand Terry and so many more, tested it... Which Version you used?

How is the headphone output? Sometimes when my house is sleeping I need to just mix/play through headphones.. PGM on the Rane One is low as hell.. Is it better on the Performer?

I wish they make the Numark V7 version of these (with the pads of course) to get real 4 deck control.... or they make the mixer section as a stand alone to use with 4 of the PLX CRSS in the future.... you know its hard to do a real 4 deck mix with only 2 spinning platters.... yes I know there is inputs to make it happen.... but anyway.... would be a nice stuff....

Mojaxx, I would like to know when the Rane Performer will be working with Virtual DJ?

Nah! But thanks! Still laptop required! We need stand alone controllers!

Amazing review. Best regards from Mexico 🇲🇽💥

Is it possible to use stem EQ on the RANE 72 MK2?

At last no more “HOW DOES IT FEEL” soundtrack. We rejoice

when can this purchased and cost in uk

I wish something like this existed for DJay Pro AI.

What is the name and artist on that second track?

I think that this is a bit of a game changer. It's got everything I dreamed of with my original finalscratch UFO and much more. It'll be amazing to see what people will do with this. It's an asset not a bedroom toy though. I wish I had the cash.

Fuckin amazing looking device. Shame theres no send return. I know im in the 1% of djs who use it tho. Not suprising when i havent seen one on a controller for like 10 years now! Would really like resonance and delay feedback on board too. Absolutley essential for Dub/reggae DJs

Great machine ... Fantastic updates, too bad the platter waveform colors don't match the Serato software waveform colors when bass is removed, acapella, etc . And still no updates for the flagship Rane 72 ? ..

sorry is this size of 7’ you said right? i see on web 8’5 hm🤷🏼‍♂️

can i run ableton and serrato same time . does it have a in built soundcard

Interesting the faders can be easily accessed but what about the play / cue buttons. I've just spent 2 hours getting in to a MCX8000 with switch cleaner as they are buried under other boards and a hundred screws. Also In-Music's customer support is really dire which is also something to consider and never gets mentioned in reviews.

Is there a trick to getting serato to recognize the performer?

Line/phono inputs on channel 3 & 4? Why not channels 1 & 4? Would make way more sense when adding external gear/turntables to each side.

I see you scratch master :-)

Love it!!! I wish I'd waited a little while longer before purchasing my Rev 7, Sure I have other setups, Numark NS7iii,Technics 1210s & S11,Numark TTs & a literal museum of equipment! After watching this vid Im sold on the Rane Performer. Oh On a side note I love your Intimidator Blue Mixer. Still have one myself. Wow!! Takes me back!! Thank you for this in depth peak into this amazing piece of kit!!

I dont think the filter resonance is adjutible in Rane Four??? Anyone know?

Are the screen's on the platters oled?

Not a huge fan of Rane products but i'm glad this exists! definitely some healthy competition here to keep everyone else on their toes... now i'm even more excited for the REV-9

Possible to control Traktor with it?

Well first see if it is okay, after the Rane four lottery with bad and good units.

Can you change Mic FX to be Reverb? Instead of Echo

As an early adopter of the Rane Four then a few months later Rane drop the price by £300 in the UK, I felt we been mugged off. So Id never buy another Rane.

Pioneer ddj-1000srt i got told this is still king

Is that stand alone, not required laptop ?

Okay brother, I held off on the initial rane but did get the pioneer. While it's a benefit to have one mobile spinning platter controller to use on events is this worth it??

Stand alone please. Laptops suck

It's no Rev 7, thats the king of spinning platters controller.. and that mixer on the Rev is fire too! Nice try Rane tho..

sent you for free Rane Performer Controller plz tell how

All these controllers continue to miss, I just want something I can plug a usb into, I am sick of having to lug my laptop everywhere.

I love rane products. And this performer is a fix buy. But…. I don tuse serato. And probably never will special now with the new owner. Thats why here in the comments a message to Rane-- please we need djay Pro Support including display support. … then for me a fixed buy.

If it has no possibilty to use 4 deck mixing without 4 physical Decks its määäähhhh

id better this one ddi rv7 just 2 channel

Expect no support and many issues, thanks to Rane! Never again

Did you pay for unit? If you did fair enough your comment about the price being fair counts, but if not, then it's all very well banging on about price when you don't have to shell out for it.

And still has those horrible cue and play rubber buttons...
