I've had my DDJ-Rev1 for less than a week now & 10mins into into this video & I've already learnt a few new things. Thanks so much for this video 🙌

Thanks for the in depth tutorial. It is very informative.

Thus by far the best in depth tutorial on the REV 1 on youtube. You've shown things I did not it could do, thank you so much!!

Absolute master sharing such knowledge!! Thank you sir 🙏

This is THE BEST video I’ve ever seen on the DDJ-REV1! I’ve had mine since February and learned more in this video than any other unboxing, tutorial or just playing around with the thing at home before going out to gigs! BRAVO 👏🏽

Thank you for taking the time to explain this. A great contribution indeed

I’ve had my Rev1 for a week now and I think you’ve covered all I need to get going. Thanks man

Sorry in advance for the multiple comments, but I can't stress how badly I needed this. The reloop explaination is seriously useful stuff

Loved this in depth tutorial and the way it is presented in simplified way. Loved your sense of humor. Thanks a lot!!

I usually stay away from longer video tutorials but I’m so glad I watched this I learned so much you’re a legend man thank you!

I just ordered mine from the cyber Monday special. I’ve learned so much from this video and feel ready to get to work when it arrives Sunday. You have a new Subscriber. Fantastic work on this video.

Thank you for the in depth tutorial! I just bought this and your tutorial is going to help me so much!

Not only was this very informative but I appreciate all the references made throughout (like peeping DJ Bobcat rockin' his turntables in battle mode formation, also knowing it was called "Philly style", mentioning Mixmaster Ice of UTFO etc.). I totally rocks with those who know the history of their craft. Salute to you! #HipHopRules

DJ Chance - THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! i'm only 26 minutes in so far and it has been incredibly helpful. I have been producing for years and just decided I should learn a little DJing as well. So I bought this controller and had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was on serato's website watching their tutorials but it wasn't helpful for the actual controller. It was just showing me how to do stuff from my laptop. So I searched youtube and came across this video. I am so GRATEFUL. Keep making content! This is already so beneficial for me!

I’ve had my controller for over a year and never knew MAJORITY of what you just taught me. THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been watching tons of videos and no one ever thoroughly explained how to use the functions. I’m hopeful NOW that I’ll be making progress…FINALLY!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰

rev1 is so underrated IMO , i love mine :)

Just received mine yesterday. This is by far the best video on the Pioneer DDJ Rev 1! Very well laid out! Thank You! Thank You! Learned a lot from this video. But have to be honest, The cat or dog hair was driving my OCD crazy!!! Thanks Again!!

Great video, Just got my REV1 as a back up/to go controller a couple of days ago. Super helpful. Appreciate you

Such a good video keep coming back to this when I want to know something and it's all in here brilliant video

So far the best tutorial about the RV1, not just the unboxing. I’m learning so much with this right now. 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for showings us all the features in this controller 🙏🏻

@djchance the beat jump feature is useful for exactly what you mentioned-setting hot cues. For example, you find the start of the chorus or vocals and you set beat jump to 8 or 16 bars and jump back to find the previous hot cues. This makes it easier to do on the fly and ensure your phrasing is correct for layering, transitioning with breaks, etc. (obviously you need a little more attention with live music)

Great vid fam. I’ve been dj’n since March of this year using the small Numark Dj2Go controller. I’ve been dippin n dabbin on my new ReV1 for about a month now. And seeing these features was a great help💯💯

Props on the details man. Thank you very much. I am going to get this gold version tomorrow :)

By the way, holding the DECK/VINLY button for 1 second or more intervals changes the pitch percentage from +8, +16 & +50% before cycling back to +8

Just purchased my controller and this has helped me immensely🙏

I love this video. Greatest tutorial on the Rev1 and I love the humour as well.

Incredible tutorial, I was so lost before this!

this is the most helpful tutorial out there

Hands down the best video on the rev-1!

Thanks very much for the tutorial,it has really improve my skills

I just got mine and I'm think I'm ready to goooo..this was so helpful! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is the best video I've watched on the Rev 1 you taught me things I didn't know. I just subscribed to your channel!

Really useful quality walkthrough thanks, trying to decide between Rev1 and FLX 4

Its really a good tutorial, well explained. Keep up the good work man!!

Thank you soooo much for this awesome tutorial just got my Rev1 few days ago!

OUTSTANDING review!

Dj. Chance this is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. You cover everything and explain it really well. I recently got the REV7. I’m not a DJ and this is my first controller and it will be of great help if you made an in depth tutorial for the REV7. Thank you 🙏

Love this controller great video DJ

I knew I didn't have it set up right lol ur a life saver I've had this over a year I wantes to like it so bad but my scratching I knew something wasn't right I can finally out my old to rest

Bro. Regardless of the fact that you need to brush the polar bear you clearly have as a pet, this is a very good and comprehensive tutorial. Nuf respec! Definitely a like and possibly subscribe situation. I just bought the DDJ yesterday. I just wanna record scratching. No desire to DJ. But this helped. Thanks!!

This was so helpful!! Thank you

You are a flipping life saver!!! Thank u souch dude!! 💯💯💯💯💯

Cool cool. thanks for doing this! I had to get a REV 1 while i sent in my S7 in for a line fader repair. The Shift tap BPM feature is pretty cool. Wouldn't have figured that out on my own. Thanks again!

Great video! This has helped me out a ton!!

LOL at you still rockin DJ Rectangle records. That’s how you know you are old school. Thanks for this video, saved me a ton of time. 🙏

Very informative this video has taught me many things thanks

It's just awesome

i got this a little over a month ago and this was recommended, and I was thinking I surely know my controller. Why do i need a tutorial. Well I am happy I did watch, there was a lot i did not know about before this video lol

DJ Jones i just got my REV 1 and I found your video really helpful and hoping of become pro very soon.

Super Useful, thanks a lot!

I had to like and subscribe!!! This content deserves an award!! you sir inspired me to purchase my own rev 1 and I am watching it again to recap. I am an algoriddim djay pro user- and just fyi all features work except neural mixing is mapped in right out of the box. Thank you so much for this video- I will probably be referring to it often!

I love this

Thank you so much this was amazing ❤appreciate you 🎉

Pretty well explained 👍

Great video

Amazing, I've switched from, vinyl to usb and just brought my first controller ( this one)with serato and this is such a wealth of knowledge and expertise, I think I'm gonna be alright. Yes I'm old Lol 😆

Solid video, man. Got yourself a sub🙌

The bpm feature with the headphone button is an insane secret! This is perfect for setting bpm of streaming tracks. How dare pioneer hide that from me

Planning on getting one so just watching videos until then

Great product unit review and tutorial. Looking to get a Pioneer Rev 1 Dj controller for my dj work in the near future.

Hello again, this video is so good👌👌

GOD!!!My broo

Thank you !!!

suuuper helpful, thanks :)

Salute!!

Thank you sir 🙏🏽

This was super helpful! I’ve been DJing for about a year and this taught me a lot of things I didn’t know about my board. I’m still having issues getting sound output for decks 3 and 4. Does anyone else have this issue?

FYI Trans mode; each butting increases the skip-time gap. Button 8 is a straight-up mute. Play your track, press each one at a time without scratching and it makes more sense.

Great vid. I just bought One for a flight out. Thx

Dope intro

I am a new DJ and I just bought the Rev1. Thanks for the video I really learned a lot. I would love to talk to you see if I have my controller set up correctly.

On the cue button, I think I remember pri yon Joni mentioning its tiny cause turntables don't even have them. It's a little funny you made a star wars joke too, he'd love that. The tiny cue is just in case some one might want it but they are assuming ppl interested in battle style won't use them much

Thank you so much !

Gracias por compartir!

I actually use the crap out of beat jump, but first a bit of context. I'm somewhat of an intermediate bedroom/hobbyist dj that's getting back into it on the rev1 after doing house parties for friends back in the day when the numark idj3 was new. These days I'm looking to spin niche stuff. Right now I'm really happy with a 4 beat/half bar beat jump. I'm still in the process of setting up my library, and i do a lot of prep work during actual practice. I'm a musician and to me it's kind like sight reading, like sight mixing maybe? I know preparation and familiarity with your tracks is most important, but I have way more fun preparing my music while actually recording myself practicing mixing basics. So for example, setting cues while I'm playing. Say I'm actively spinning an unprepared track and I hear a part I wanna have as a cue point. I'll beat jump backwards on beat and set the cue point on the 2nd go round. Its functional and it gives my mix a bit of a performance pad moment. Especially with the 4 beats/half bar setting it kinda mixes the bars together in an interesting way. This works for going back to a loop point that doesn't have a specific cue set to it too. I'm a pretty spontaneous mixer, but again i'm literally just in my bedroom so I feel like trying anything and everything. Another really important use to my style and the reason I chose 4 beat/half bar beat jump is beatmatching with songs that have an extra measure in their structure. say I'm beatmixing track 1's vocals/mids over track 2's drums/lows. However, track 1's song has an extra measure right before the drop. Instead of letting the song structures get out of sync by that measure I beat jump track 2 backwards to keep the song structures in sync. otherwise track 2 would hit it's drop while track 1's vocal was doing its extra measure. Last things that come to mind are when doing performance pad shenanigans with the 4 beat/half bar setting i can jump forwards and backwards to spice up a repetitive part of the track, or how it can help a lot in a live setting to cover up little beginner mistakes like not having a proper mix in for the current track's outro but also not having a proper cue point for the outro so I just beat jumped back a bunch to reach where a more prepared DJ would've had a cue. to me, beat jump is just a really flexible way to move around while still keeping the beat.

Thanx for the info, your funny dude :) I'm a subscriber

Tnks you .good job

OMG I love beat jump! I use it for an 8 bar intro lead into the next track. Say you have an acapella out you have a cue on the acapella out and a cue 8 bars back. You can use beat jump on the incoming track to go back 8 bars and its a smoother in than pushing play on the acapella start.

Thank you Bro❤😊🤜🤛

Wow 🤩

Great video! I just got the DDJ-REV1. I have it hooked up to my Mac and can hear sound through the laptop speakers. But no sound through headphones. I noticed you are using a splitter rca cable in the back of your rev 1 in the video . Is that going to one speaker monitor. Lastly the sides of the jog wheel when I turn they don’t do anything. The top part of wheel or platter when I touch works fine.

🙏🤝🔥 very helpful thank you

Great tutorial, thanks heaps! My rev1 just arrived yesterday and am looking forward to putting it through its paces! It also occurred to me that the scratch speed buttons don't work for the basic scratches because they are only one click patterns... so in order to speed them up, one needs to speed up the "record" hand back and forth, not the fader clicks. Cheers again, and subbed! 🤟

for the tracking bank for the scratching where do i locate that and how do I set it up on the rev 1 I have had the controller a few weeks now.

I play fairly developed progressive deep to straight up trance and techno but i like this layout of this controller. i like the size and the jogs seem a comfortable size and seems like the mixer area has enough room to not be cramped and the up fades are further apart.would used the pads for stems and loops. would be even dope to do a rotary knob fader mod to be a rotary mixer. only thing not ideal is how the eq knobs are far up from the level faders. with long fade mixes I like the EQ knobs close to or right next to the level faders for each channel like the 19inch rack mixer style or old pioneer 2 channel 300(?)

Bro has pets for sure😂 Great video btw! Super helpful! Ty 4 ur time & energy

Hello my friend, can you maybe tell me if there’s any way or shortcut/button to turn on and off the quantize feature on the go? Thank you.

Hey great video! I'm having issues getting audio when I have decks 3 and 4 cued. Any insight?

Thanks for this awesome super detailed tutorial. I have ddj1000 (recordbox) and I want to buy this controller as a backup controller and fun. What is better choice: numark platinum fx or rev1? rev1 looks awesome. Thanks for answer.

Where are my sample samples? The first week of using the controller, Serato had four preloaded samples (a siren, air horn, that same scratch sample you’re using and something else I forgot). But now I can’t find them. Anyone know where they are?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

? Trying to find out from serato or pionner if the tracking and trans pad modes can be remapped in serato pro for something else like saved loops, pitch play, slicer etc. They haven't replied yet.. do you have any idea that seems at all possible ? Such a cool controller but I would really just prefer that it had pad modes like other serato controllers...

I just got the rev 1 but seeing this gold one is making me wanna return it and get the gold one

@DJChance is there a way to save loops and then use the controller to access them? The auto loop function is ok. I would think it would be more useful to use the pads to store loops then to use them to trigger different sized loops? Then we have roll and beat jump which is almost the same thing. It would have been nice to have one of those for flip instead. The scratch bank is cool. I could do without trans mode. I might be shipping this back

So I recently bought the Ddj rev 1 but whenever I start up the serato DJ lite app, it keeps saying that “hardware cannot connect to serato DJ lite” What do I do now? I already added my computers speakers as the default for “playback” and “recording” as prompted, but I still have the same issue Am I missing something?

great video, i'll definitely come back for the detailed scratch bank and performance pad explanations; but is there ANY way to enable/disable key lock like on the ddj-sb3? I have scoured the manual, watched tons of reviews, and I cant believe that the feature would be absent on this controller. So far i've had to click on the icon within serato which defeats the point of having a device that is meant to keep your hands on the decks and away from the mouse/trackpad.

If I could, I would 👍 this 100 times over. I sincerely hope Pioneer DJ has compensated you for your time and compensated well, good sir. I just discovered how to delete hot cues from the controller, a question which I had. Thank you again for all your effort into making these vids, mate. I truly believe, this may be the Ultimate Guide To The DDJ-REV1, bar none.

Like setting up FX and Samplers and such, would I be able to do all that in algoriddim djay pro or virtual dj?
