Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it. 😀😀😀

@@djlouparis real recognize real ;-). Watched both of your reviews multiple times! I hope there is a 10“ player coming soon! Would like to see your review on that in the future!

@@janstrater3731 I would love to be able to review something like that. :)

@@djlouparis I am sure you are aware of t the modded sldz1200s with spindal platter... this is my next project i guess till the 10"s hit the market... I see alot of dudes rocking the 12"s now with. an 1o" Controlviny.... And th e reguläre 10 vinyls " are so handy and light for cutting .and transporting them in a reg backpack.. you name it... Maybe someone coms out with an case/body for the phasss. which have a moving spindel and 10 "platter....this could be done by many small manufactuers..like Innofader ore Vestax... Sorry I Sorry, : where you from ? Me , I am from Europe , Germany over 40 Years old.. whose making

I was an old-school crate hauler and then took a 13-year break before I got back into it in 2012. When I came back I tried jog-based controllers and it just never connected me to the music. As soon as I got my SC3900s I knew what was missing. And I went from the 3900s > NS7ii > Reloop RP8000 + Rane 62 > NS7iii > TWELVES + Rane 62 > NS7iiii > One

The NS7-series are tanks there are no doubt. For me the quality of the soundcard (and multiple that x2), shedding nearly 10 pounds and having a smaller profile, the better feeling platters, the more utilitarian feel of Rane vs. the more gimmicky feel of Numark; those are all huge reasons for me to switch. It's not going to be for everyone. If you need 4 channels then it's def not for you, if you play it hot it's not for you. But for many, this is the new benchmark. Also a new NS7iii was $1499 so it's priced the same at launch. Actually if you want to get real technical, if you take the inflation calculator back to 2015 it was released for $1636 in 2020 dollars.

Let's just say that you get hired to dj a party and the person likes your demo tape or whatever and hires you ( any genre) even (if it is hip hop) as long as you rock the it doesn't matter what you us the rane 1 design for turntablist so I have had a hard time adjusting to dvs so the rane 1 is a no-brainer for me 300 dollar set of needles can kiss my you no what peace

But to let the be told when I first saw the rane1 the ns7111 came to mind if I had a ns7111 i wouldn't be in a hurry to get rid of it either it is also for turntablist

@@djlouparis but the NS7III had effects The numark has more to constitute the price The rane is basic Nothing special about it

Bryan what up.....how do you get the effects on the mic....ive tried it but I Cant get it to work.

Well I don't think you can go wrong with either. It really comes down to portability. For me as a wedding DJ that wants to keep my setup and strike time to a minimum and not break my back lifting things the Rane One is really the best of it all. But if portability wasn't an issue I'd probably be running with my Reloop Elite (or a Rane Seventy) and my TWELVES.

It's certainly worth every penny. :)

Yo you got an original nS7? If you do o got a question for you.

I am glad you liked the video and the comparisons had to be put out there and measured. And I agree the S9 (and now S7) is a really gorgeous mixer as a hole and the 70 seems like a winner (I ended up getting a Reloop Elite part in dur to short supplies of the 70). Def chime in here when you get your One. :)

No need to change or "upgrade " if the ns7III still works for you...I want to myself ..from the ns7III as well . But I like my screens so I will hold off for a bit ..

What's better about it You're really making love to this You don't even have it yet What's so bad ass Name like 4 things that make this Superior to numark You can't It doesn't even have effects LoL They're absolutely nothing you can do on this that you can't on the NUMARK LMMO 😂

The NS7-series were tanks and certainly an oddball in the Numark lineup. I think the One has either equaled or exceeded the build quality and def has some added benefits over the NS7-series.

Honestly I only ever use the sampler itself for station ID drops in my radio sets. Otherwise it's never used. To the lack of a knob would not really be an issue for me. It does come with fader grease. But I was trying to be as true to the review by not adjusting or adding anything to it from an out of the box experience. I've been so busy between the filming and editing yesterday and now managing comments and posts that I haven't taken the time to dab a little on it. :)

@@djlouparis Thanks! I'll definitely be getting one - just waiting for stock!!

@@DJRobZee most excellent!!

I highly doubt an NS7iv would come out. With the acquisition of Numark, Denon, Rane and Numark being positioned as an entry-level budget brand the NS7-series was an oddball out. It made more sense for it to be reborn as a Denon or Rane. And frankly I love that it fell under the Rane flag, not that Denon is bad I do love them, but there is just something so very straight forward about the Rane design and it's still built like a tank. If there were a 4-channel motorized platter that launches it likely falls under Denon. But I think that is a stretch if that happens.

@@djlouparis thanks bro.i didn't look at it from that point of view 💪

I never used 4 channels so it's not missed on my end. As for the dashboard there isn't a place you could mount it, but I also never used the screens with the NS7iii. I mean it is just a USB device although I can't see Serato making it work in tandem but I could be wrong. In theory VDJ could.

I actually was going to try this out today but my spare hub went wonky. But in theory it should. It's two separate sound cards.

I did not put it up to a meter but the fans are pretty quiet. You hear a quick spin-up on start that is not that loud and it's really not noticeable. If I get a chance I will measure it. :)

@@djlouparis thank you so much for your fast response! I'm glad to hear this

I do not own the DDJ1000 so it's hard for me to do a one on one comparison. I will say this, traditionally Rane has a more warmer sound where Pio has a bit more of a harsher sound in the mids/highs. It's actually one of the reasons I got rid of my S9 (that and some bad I/O ports). If history is any indicator then the One might have a more appealing sound profile.

Thanks!

So I got to play around with the 1000SRT when it had first came out (was at the DJ Expo in NJ and a few of us DJs did a long session on it). It's a competent mixer but since I am so tied into moving platters my opinion is very biased on it. To me the One would blow it out of the water. The build quality, the feel of the platters, the layout is all Rane and I love it. As for onboard effects, I don't see people doing much in the way of using the One as a pure mixer and hooking in DVS on the sides, but it is a scenario that can happen. So having the onboard effects would have pushed costs higher if they went that route.

@@djlouparis Thanks for the feedback. I like the ability to use effects on the mic but honestly it's not something I need to have.

One > NS7-series > the rest. Well at least in my opinion. :)

I’m with you. I can’t scratch for **** and no turntablist but I’m all about mixing on vinyl (in storage) and I think I’m gonna ditch my Pioneer SX3 for this instead.

Rane one is still the best concept.

So the problem I ran into is that my current macOS installs are 64-bit only and my 62 control panel will not load, so I cannot test it properly. What I can say is subjective and historic but the 62 has more overall output. This is not to say the One is somehow bad or lacking. Someone mentioned a good point that on the One the 0db point is really at the max position instead of being at say the 12 o'clock position. It certainly will deter from redlining. As for noise, I could not hear any noise beyond what the noise floor of the digital mixer (Soundcraft Ui24) has itself. So from a quality of signal perspective it seems completely there with no compromises.

@@djlouparis Thanks for your detailed answer!

Well from a retail price perspective it was selling at $1399 so the One isn't much more expensive. Now that the NS7iii is past its end of life and all you can get is old-new stock the prices are going to be naturally lower. And honestly as I noted in the video the quality of the Rane One really is much more significant. You are essentially getting miniaturized TWELVES and a Rane 70 minus the built in effects and mag channel faders. I'd rate it a bargain. 😀 As for 4 channels honestly I have zero need for it and nothing in the current Rane lineup is 4 channels. I wouldn't expect it either. If there were a new inMusic company produced 4-channel controller it would probably be a Denon and it would be probably be a little more $. I wouldn't expect a similar product from Numark again. They are a somewhat budget brand before and really are one now.

Companies are greedy

How's it an upgrade There's no effects The NUMARK has the 1200 feel So I don't understand what you're saying Besides weight Which I don't care I'm not weak And you say numark doesn't sound good It's just loud Yeahhhhhh it's loud And mine sounds great

I wish I had a 70 or 72 in my possession to give you a proper assessment. But I would wager those run hotter than the One. Someone made an interesting note to me and it sorta makes sense. The One's 0db spot is at max where other controllers or mixers come in closer to the 12 o'clock position. If you are the type of DJ that keeps it under the red, then I think you are OK. If you are pushing hotter than that, then I think you might find it lacking. Then again you can always turn up your gains at the speakers to compensate if that is the case. Personally, in my studio I normally run just to the speaker and it's plenty loud. If I push it, it does get cranked to near max, but I think that is still more than adequate. Think of it as a stopper from running too hot to your speakers and frying the circuitry there (which I have with my 62 my my older Yamaha Subs before).

I understand what you mean but I guess I will have to try for maybe. Thanks for the info!

The 3900s were the bomb. Lightweight and that 9" platter was a great size to fit in the hand. But damn that sticker drift always killed me. I don't think we would see that in a Rane although maybe there is a play for Denon for the 4-channel market and using their 8.5" platters from the SC6000M series (or the 7" from the 5000Ms). But I still think highly unlikely.

@@djlouparis anything is possible... I never experienced that sticker drift with my 3900s.

@@mike._.feliciano6782 that's awesome, I wish I had a similar experience. Between that and them getting to their end-of-life support from Denon it made me ultimately sell them. They were still great despite the issues I had.

I don’t have a specific tutorial on how to do a fax. But it’s funny as a ditches put up a video today about wedding DJs in general transitioning between songs.

Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

@@djlouparis Hey man very thorough video! I too came from not the NS7III, but the original NS7s with the fx effects bar. Then I sold those and got the single Numark V7s so I'm familiar with motorized platters. Then 2 years ago I got the Pioneer 1000 SRT and loved it since it was so easy to carry around and I could scratch when I want to but mostly mix. One thing many of us are discussing is how Rane One came with less features than the 1000 SRT! If it had a 4 channel mixer it would've been perfect! But then I thought.. what if Rane comes out with the MKII version of Rane One like they did with the Rane 12s? But this time packed with way more features to make it even better? Now that would be sick!!

@@battosaijenkins946 well anything is possible but I wouldn't expect it for a couple years. And my Spidey-senses tell me that this would remain a 2-channel mixer. There is nothing current in the Rane lineup with 4-channels. If there were ever a 4-channel controller with moving platters maybe it comes in the form of a Denon? But I am sus.

Thanks!

So the switches have a good "click presence" so you know that something is switched. It is a smaller switch than the 62 which is the closest facsimile to it. It is much smaller than a typical switch that you see on other controllers. Personally I have no problem with it, you know when it's switched, however I could see some people feeling it's a bit too small.

I still own an NS7!!! Dinasour style!!!

The one is weak No effects and the tables are off center to the mixer 😂

@@djlennyb are you serious? 😳

It is hard to know because they are becoming rarer and rarer. Thing is with the One, and now the REV7 out, they are both superior in so many ways to the NS7x that unless you are getting one hell of a deal it probably isn't worth it.

You can never compare a "near new" or even "new old stock" to a brand new model. The original NS7iii and NS7iii was priced at.... $1499. The same price as the One and that was 6 years ago. And the NS7iii is now well past its end of life and I did list a number of differences in the video. :)

Well is it 100%? Short of pulling things apart we would never know. The spirit is certainly so. The parts? I wouldn't be surprised now that inMusic owns them all that the motors are either from the Denon 5000M/6000M or are just straight lifts from the TWELVES but man they feel great.

@@djlouparis - I pre-ordered the Rane One (from the same vendor as you had, coincidentally), but I’ve never seen the NS7 in the flesh. You are the first reviewer on KZfaq to have access to both units, and proffer an empirical comparison. You are probably right to conjecture that the componentry is unlikely to be identical. Between the two, though, which has the more robust build quality?

​@@SuperPussyFinger I mean a lot of this comes down to a visual and tactile viewpoint. If Rane would love to send one me to tear down I'd love to go part for part. But given that Rane has seemingly not skimped on the quality of materials, from the very typical outer-shell materials to adding the mag-fader, and the feel of the platters I'd probably say it would outlast the NS7iii. I say this from past devices like the 62 that are not only tanks but they are just really built to last. The NS7iii is no slouch but it was also put together by a more budget minded company (and now they are really budget based in the inMusic world).

@@djlouparis - Thanks for the breakdown. I gather that the Rane One is to DJ controllers what the Leica M is to cameras - quirks and all. I'll take it. I was hoping that someone would build a DJ deck of this caliber, and consequently, I bought mine within minutes of seeing it for the first time. I'm not even a DJ; quite frankly, I'm not even sure what the hell I'm going to do with it. But I knew one thing for certain: I had to have it.

@@SuperPussyFinger Leica M, a Sony a9, Canon R5; your typical flagship with its own personality and quirks. As a Rane lover to begin with, then adding my desire of moving platters, in an all in one that surpasses the NS7-series in quality it's as good as it gets.

That would have been extra awesome with the pitch faders on top. 😀

@@djlouparis Cool thanks you have a excellent Demeanor and Composure your videos are spot on !!

@@djstretchtone9851 #appreciated. :)

That is from SINY called "Detroit Vibes". I subscribe to a service called Epidemic Sound which has a ton of music to use for a pretty low cost to maintain. Def nice to find tracks like this in it's library.

Sorry just seeing this. YT did not alert me to all my comments of the past few weeks. I would like to but man I have been so damn overwhelmed with things as of late.

Both solid machines. But the are some interesting advantages to the One that would make you love that too. :)

This seems to be a more recurring question so I had to test things out: 1) In Serato it does not matter. It likely expecting the NS7ii or NS7iii to be connected so even with things hooked up it wont work unless Serato makes some changes to that 2) In VDJ it does work, but with caveats: 2a) There is no place to mount the monitors directly on the One 2b) You have to deliver 12v/2a power to it. There is no power delivery mechanism on the controller

@@djlouparis I love not looking at my computer screen the entire time.. The numark screen allows me to get away from Serato lol

Yes I actually tried to set my gain stage in two ways. First I just wanted to see what at "50% output" registered between my three units I was testing (One, NS7iii, Elite) just to gauge "the hotness" of each unit while setting my gains on my digital mixer to 0db and ensuring that no compression, EQ or anything else was there to color the sound. When I did that I noticed that the NS7iii was way too hot and I was hearing noise on the channel to boot. It's just a really noisy soundcard on it. So I went about marking out where each unit was in relationship to "dial gain" and where I adjusted on the channel gain on my digital board: Rane One - Master Out @ 12 o'clock - Ui24R at +14db Numark NS7iii - Master Out @ 10 o'clock - Ui24R at +14db Reloop Elite - Master Out @ 12 o'clock - Ui24R at +0db The Numark seems to have a pretty odd curve, and then adding the noise in the mix it was a little challenging to dial in nicely. I am going to upload a separate video in a few (still editing) where I am overlaying things and swapping between views regularly. I did this briefly in this video but without the music to avoid copyright issues. The short of it is that the responses were pretty close across the board, maybe giving the Rane a slight difference in a more colored output. You would occasionally see just a little bit of additional output in the lower and higher parts of the spectrum. But given this is not a direct in-line pure real time analyzer that could have been an anomaly. From a pure "from the ear" perspective I would say that the Elite has a colder sound, the NS7iii a hair more compressed sound, and the One a tad warmer sound. But this of course is purely subjective. The NS7iii mic is pretty much totally unusable. The One outshined the NS7iii and the Reloop. It had very solid mic performance.

@@djlouparis OK but you’re still talking about knob positions. Don’t worry about the knob positions go by the meters.

@@PaulReedy more so for reference for people that just straight input into speakers and where things are in relation. For me it of course does not matter because I can stage my gain structure properly at the digital mixer. But there are many (too many) that don't so there has to be some other mental baseline to work off of.

Almost any switch of a device takes some getting used to. I think the One is def worth the time invested to learn.

My guess is that we will not see a 4-channel Rane. Maybe a Denon but i still put that out as a low probability.

What do you do with 4 channels?

The effects are controlled via the software layer (Serato, VDJ).

This weights less than the two technics, not even including the mixer. :)

Hheheh we could all use a couple rounds of stimulus checks. So the dealers were only given a pretty small batch of Ones for the first round so I was incredibly lucky that as soon as I learned about it I reached out to Ben Stowe and NLFX (nlfxpro.com) to secure one. I can say this. I know that if you get your order in, you will be placed in order that they are bought so you don't miss out on further supplies. I am curious if Rane was initially worried if the reception for the One would be low-key. It seems it's been far from that. :)

Hey man if you want the new rane one controller and want to save $150 off, check out my review and you can save! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9iifquUt7e5cps.html

Personally I took my screens off the NS7III. Total gimmick for me but if you found them useful then kudos! Not sure if they will ever come back.

I personally like the pads, but both models are great in that response.

Yes for the price it should have the 4 channels weather you use them or nor ijs

Listening to music through KZfaq to compare quality is a fools errand since you are dealing with compression in their storage algo. Also a controller does not make the DJ. If you want to hear some results of what a session is like check out my Mixcloud (www.mixcloud.com/ParisCreative/) where the last set is done through the One. I also have two radio streaming shows during the week (Wednesdays 7-8p ET and Saturdays 5-7p ET) which I've been using the One for a couple months now. That can be found at pariscreative.com/live.

The NS7iii has CoreAudio so if you are running on macOS you are good for as long as Apple keeps supporting it. As for updated Win drivers on the Numark site they are still at 1.0.0 for the drivers so it hasn't been updated in 6 years, and now it's been end of life for a while now. I am very skeptical that Rane would ever release a 4-channel version. They don't have any 4-channel mixers in their lineup anymore (the 64 and 68 are long gone) and frankly a lot of DJs that Rane are marketing to are the 2-channel battle-style people. Maybe Denon comes out with a 5000M-based controller someday with a condensed 1800 mixer. But only time will tell.

@@djlouparis I spin with 4 decks. The other two for instrumentals and acapellas

@@mnyez101 then clearly the One would not be a good fit for you. Or you could change up your workflow a bit and run something like VDJ when you can apply STEMS and change over one track to an acapella while having your other deck with the vocal out and make it an instrumental. I've been doing that for a bit now with VDJ and either my NS7iii or my TWELVES and my Reloop Elite.

There are no built in effects so that is at the behest of the software. VDJ has some very customizable effects that work well for me. But in full transparency, ducking echo is my primary goto.

Sorry I don't get these alerts often so just catching up. Decisions are always hard, but with the NS7-series well past their end of life it makes the Rane One choice that much easier. :)

Thanks for your reply! I'm back again 😂 I've taken the deposit from the guy for my ns7iii and I have a Rane One to collect once I make my sale.

I mean sure but it’s really a gimmick with the capacitive knobs. Of the years I had the ii and then the iii never once were they useful for me.

I don't know if there are any controllers or mixers on the market that go beyond just the standard XLR outs (some only have RCAs).

@@djlouparis just about all have 1/4 outs for booth

@@djxcel23 true, many booths are 1/4 out. I was thinking just masters.

To be frank it will likely be YEARS before a revision will come out. They can't even keep up with demand now with all the supply chain issues going on. But my note on the on-board FX. I still don't see what the demand is for this. You realize you will spend more to have licensed effects on board, and you are not spinning vinyl here, everything has to go through software to work. So why spend more for something so trivial?

Why should the pitch slider be along the top, that’s what is stupid about the twelves. The reason why the slider is rotated to the top on 1200’s is becuase the tone arm is in a much better location. Now you don’t have a tone arm to be in a safer position having the slider so you have to go over the platter is creating a problem

A continuation of the “battle style”. When you’ve done something for 35-40 years one way it becomes muscle memory.

This reminds me of a set I saw livestreamed on rpan on reddit tonight. Chick was a minimal techno dj. Using a ddj-1000. Good set. I was enjoying it. chatroom was totally a buzz. But people were totally clowning on her because of her gear. "she turned a knob!" "she turned another knob, lookout!" It reminded me why I decided to learn to scratch in the first place. While im sure Chris Liebing, Richie Hawtin, or Speedy J can scratch if they wanted to. I mean, they've each been dj'ing 30+ years a piece. That's not how their minimal techno/stems layering sets work. And because of it, they layman doesn't understand what's going on and that explanation is just too long for people that aren't dj to even make them want to sit through hearing you explaining what is going on. All they know, is a dj, using turntables, or anything like turntables. That's a dj. No explanation needed. They know the moment they see it and with the advent of controllers. While not all changes are 100% positive. it's created this visual perception that controller dj's are lesser dj's. I'm not saying they are, or they aren't. I'm saying that's the public perception and there's not changing that.

There certainly is that perception in large part because of some of the "poseurs" that came around and basically soured a bunch of people on it. A minimalist techno DJ isn't supposed to scratch (mostly) and has it's own set of challenges to make a really tight set. But for some, it's all about the visual performance.

@@cerebrix They're definitely not. If anything, it's given DJs far more tools and opportunity to do some truly creative work.

@@kaibe5241 Right but the point I'm making, especially if you look at chatrooms on streams these days. They layman doesnt know that, and doesn't care to hear it either. They look at the world like cowboys ride horses, bikers ride harleys, and dj's use turntables. my comment was entirely about the public perception of dj's. not the dj community's perception of djs.

Did you end up getting it? It's a great investment!

@@djlouparis not as yet brother. Waiting for my bday. It's coming up soon. Can't wait until I get it. I already played with it. I fell in love with the platters.

Valid criticisms are noted :)

I personally like the non-mirrored layout but can understand why some would like that.

Hmmm something I didn't notice. Then again the gain, EQ, filter are all going to be reflective of what the mix will be so you have to make sure it's adequate to hear.

I having issues with that really throws me off I need to fix my ns7lll

100%

The screens honestly for me were a gimmick, be it on the NS7iii (which I yanked mine off right away) or even the S11 or Rane72. And why would you need onboard FX? This is a MIDI controller that needs VDJ, Serato, et al. On board effects is a useless additional cost if it were added.

@@djlouparis You're missing my point totally, which is for $1500 it SHOULD have onboard audio FX. MIDI implementation has nothing to do with my statement since If it has an onboard audio card then it's not just a MIDI controller. The absence of an onboard audio FX module in my opinion makes this overpriced. Not to mention the absence of display screens (which are a nice workflow convenience for some, like me) as well. Thus my overall take on this piece; nice but overpriced @ $1500. $1000 - $1200 (considering the motorized platters) absolute max seems like a more appropriate price.

​@@Sean10Bruce to each their own. IMO screens are gimmicks and having onboard effects are useless for a software-based controller that few would ever hook up a pair of twelves to it and use it as an analog mixer. All it would do is make it bigger and heaver (more size to accommodate the screen real estate) and pricer (to license on board effects).

What's bad ass about it Name like five things that are Bad ass

@@djlennyb Did u not watch this entire video?

Well if they are the NS7-series motor then kudos for Numark building a great motor to start. It always felt good from the start and def had the torque. Numark's NS7iii is well past it's end of life and there probably isn't much old-new stock on the shelves. And there are def advantages of the One versus the NS7-series, from weight to a much improved sound card (the NS7-series was very noisy). And now you are getting what is effect a pared down Rane 70 mixer. It's a well worthy upgrade IMO but part of the reason I made this video is for people to see the comparison and make those choices for themselves. I've made my choice. :)

Nothing on board. You could def have a software-level applied to the mic if needed.

@@djlouparis Hmm, maybe do a video on how to make that work. Never heard of it

@@EazyHarbor someone covered this a few years back. It's a bit of a "trick" in VDJ but still applicable as far as I am aware. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsqTmLyU1pq0YoU.html

The problem is going to be the repair side for the NS7-series. Since they are end of life and end of warranty fewer people will be able to service it and of course Numark is done with it.

So my first best guess if a combination of things. First supply chain issues is affecting so much that companies have little to show right now. I'd love to get my hands on a couple more pairs of black Maui 5 Gos but they are backordered for a couple months (at least). Second I am sure that the hit that many companies faced in 2020 definitely affected their budgets for 2021. Going to these expos can easily be multiple tens-of-thousands of dollars for floor space, flights, personnel, hotels, inventory, etc. Lastly I am sure some people were concerned for COVID and that had some impact as well. Awesome choice on the purchase! I am considering getting a second myself. :)

It's interesting because I really hated the all red of the Numark. There was just no visual distinguishing between functions/areas and I can understand the reason not to go symmetrical since those coming from a two decks and a mixer style would not have a symmetrical layout either.

@@djlouparis You also have to to at the ages of the 2 devices. Amazingly, The NS7III still carries a lot of "weight" (No 'pun' intended) for it's age. Built solid. Colourful enough and with a confident DJ then the colours will make zero difference. Mixers before only had 2 lights; those being the lights in the analog VU meters.😀

@@oliverearthur5354 yes the NS7x's are built quite solid, which is the oddball out of the Numark brand. It's was going to be pretty obvious that when inMusic bought them out that the NS7x's days were numbered.

@@djlouparis To push more of a BMW that ends up being great at first( Rane One) than a Corolla ( NS7) that has great longevity

That would def up the price.

I don't see any of these scenarios happening. Rane is positioned itself as "the battle mixer" company and their philosophy is really geared towards two channels. I will put my money that Rane will likely never produce a 4-channel version. As for the effects split you could manage it where effects 1-3 are really just dedicated for your A deck and 4-6 for your B deck. I def do not see a Rane SEVEN in the future. It would pilfer potential sales from the One and the TWELVE. If you really need 4 decks the Denon SC5000M would be your better bet in that regard.

What I always missed on my NS7II is the technics kind of dotted platters. Somehow I never “felt” the Numark version of it. Maybe I just used TT’s way too long to change. Btw how and where can one adjust the 3/3 FX behaviour of the One? Since I own a big bunch of Rane equipment I really like, ALL built like a tank and the sound quality is super, I’m dealing with the idea of selling the NS7II of mine and grab One, but will cost a lot ‘couse nobody needs my stuff! Will need a Reloop Budy with Djay pro on the Aux in to get the 4ch I love to mix with. BTW how do you like the Steam feature and the One integration with VDJ/Djay?

@@dj-MadaM 3/3 FX behavior? Can you explain a little more? Do you mean individual adjustments per effect? I actually don't use any streaming services. I maintain an all local and curated library. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM9xd9Gpxr-Udmg.html

No doubt!

I am not sure how you can say this has less effects. It has the same 3-effect per-channel control than the NS7iii. And less compatibility, how exactly? The NS7iii is now past its end of life. It's a version or two away from complete obsolescence unless you stick with older OSes and hope you never need support. As for the loss of 4-channels, I have met maybe 5-6 people that actually mix 4-channels. You do have discrete control of a mic and a line in. That is effectively all the channels needed by a DJ.

@@djlouparis was this a sponsored video?? end of its life? there is DJs and producers the use gear well past its "life" its more then about what's new! older Oses what? what OS do the NS7iii cant support that the Rane one can? that controller dont even have support for Virtual Dj. did you know every controller that's been released on the market the 4 channel is an upgrade if it was useless why do every company have always follow this trend? i work at Guitar Center you how many djs would come to me and wish they waited for the four channel release and 1500 - 1800 used nahhh. a quarter of your comment section is about experience Djs agreeing this is not enough to replace the NS7iii but i bet money when that 4 channel release comes you going to make a video about how much better it is in comparison to the two deck then it will be time to witch

​@@lamarwealthchild6199 no, I don't do sponsored videos. I buy nearly all the equipment I test (and make note of it when I do not). Everything I test is because I plan to integrate it into my setup. I was one of the first videos out there with an actually BOUGHT One, not one furnished by Rane. Yes the NS7iii is past its end of life. No new units can be bought unless it's old-new stock and Numark is not going to be supporting it. So if you have an issue that creeps up, an OS update that effects it, oh well. That is the risk you take with EOL equipment. The One has had VDJ support for months now (www.rane.com/the-rane-one-now-supports-djay-pro-ai-and-virtual-dj/) (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdOogZaQqdC1pIE.html) 4-channel controllers IMO are pretty worthless. There are few DJs that can actually mix 4-channels, and as I. mentioned there are essentially 4 channels on the One with the mic control and aux control, which most DJs use channels 3 and 4 for. Even if the Rane comes out with a 4-channel I doubt I would switch to that unless there were other compelling features. Frankly I wish the OG NS7 2-channel would have kept that pedigree with the NS7ii and NS7iii. Hey you do you. If you think you need 4-channels to mix then the One is simply not the one for you and there are plenty of other controllers out there to fit the bill.

After some use over the past couple months this really has not been an issue. It also made no sense for Numark to have the NS7x anymore. They are purely budget now and does not fit into the brand. And there really are no missing features other than the lack of a screen (which was a BS gimmick anyways).

It makes an ergonomic sense since they are using a narrow profile for the mixer area. I'd wager the majority of turntablists orient in battle style. Even the TWELVES are configured like that to match the profile of the 1200s. Making it wider would be an issue. I'm glad she shortened it down a little from the NS7iii

There is absolutely no reason why inMusic would allow an in-house brand to deliberately pilfer sales from another. That makes zero business sense at all. Numark was always an entry-level brand minus the NS7-series and even that had it's flaws (kinda cheap faders, very noisy soundcard) but it was revolutionary. But I will wager 100,000 Quatloos that Numark will never release another NS7-series controller while under the inMusic brand.

@@djlouparis So you saying Numark is done??

What are you talking about? The NS7-series is not a stand alone. There are few stand-alones in the market and frankly they make little sense for the mobile DJ unless you are playing a very limited catalog. My thoughts on that (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8eih9qj1MDccas.html) As for scratching, this was not some show off video of scratching skills. This is a product review. ;)

Rane On...

"Future chipset". I think you need to spill a little more detail. If you are talking Core Audio virtually all controllers now are Core Audio compliant. The features in the NS73 were fine for their time, however some were a gimmick. For instance the radiostatic knobs were troublesome and a useless feature. I never used 4 channels so 2 were a waste to me. The mic inputs (while I never used them) were a joke. And the soundcard kinda blew. But it was the best option at the time. In this case the Daddy is dead. It's past its end of life and parts are going to be more rare as time goes on.

There is a sync button.

lol lol lol!

Wow never heard of him till just now. Although seeing what he posts he is the anti-me. LOL

@@djlouparis lol. He just can’t handle bullshit.

Very appreciated. Likewise on the SRT1000 v One video over to you. 😀

Numark is part of inMusic (same as Rane) and you will never see a moving platter option from them again. They are budget-entry only now. The Rane One is superior to the NS7/II/III in nearly every way.

This has the mix of Akai + 62 style pads. And I have owned a 62 for years and it's buttons still are solidly in place.

The NS7ii/iii was the best moving platter controller that was out, and it beat most standard controllers. I was a little surprised to hear how noisy the output was on it though. I am glad Rane put a quality soundcard in.

I've got to play with the Rev7 a few times. I am impressed with it. However I do like the looser feel of the One as a whole. But I don't think you can go wrong with either.

By all the means if you don't like it, that is fine. But it sounds like you haven't either installed the Rane control panel or you have a lower spec laptop. There is nothing specific about a controller's hardware that would make it sound digital and the soundcard is lifted from the Rane parts bin. I compared this to my 62 and my Elite and I detected no artifacting of the sound. The fader is literally their Magfaders, but again if you don't like then you would dislike the Magfaders on the 72 and the 70. I do wish they had Magfaders on their channel faders, but that is a minor nitpick.

TEST… GO REAL SLOW OVER A WORD THEN GO REVERSE OVER IT… ITS DIGITAL… UNLIKE A RECORD IF U DID THE EXACT THING IT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WORD IN REVERSE… ITS COOL FOR DJS THAT REALLY DONT DO DIFFERENT SCRATCHES… BUT IF YOU DO THE BABY SCRATCH IT A GOOD UPGRADE … I WOULD NEVER SELL MY NS7 2 FOR THAT… YOU SAID THE SOUNDCARD WAS BETTER… NOT TRUE… IT MIGHT BE CLEAR… BUT U HAVE TO TURN THAT MAIN ALL THE WAY TO DAMN NEAR 5 o’clock the NS7… I have it at 11oclock… SOUNDS GREAT

@@indamixx216 you are describing what would happen with any potential digital playback device vs. vinyl. Go over to any extremely slow playback in digital then that artifacting can be present. This also builds the case to make sure you have the highest quality audio files to work with if you go into these extremes. A significant part of my library is FLAC flies to help preserve the original sound in the more extreme conditions. The NS7ii and iii, as much as I loved them, have a really shitty noisy card. Sure you need less gain on it's output but at the expense at of noise and some distortion, even some compression. Again I loved the NS7-series controllers but they are a product of what Numark had and they were undercutting on the soundcard. Again, if you don't like the One that is totally fine. But I am just saying this "digital" complaint is not specific to the One, and if you are complaining about a digital sound but not a noisy soundcard that the NS7-series has then you see where the conflict is here.

@@djlouparis Dude … mines not loud… Maybe u should change your cords …. Had mines for years and it still the same as the rane one… rane one just a update of it… so I will keep my money and suffer lifting it😂😂😂

You realize that the Rane One came in at the same price as the NS7ii and the NS7iii did. The only thing it lacks is 4-channels and frankly there are few DJs on this planet that mix 4-channels. I've certainly listed the reasons why the One has a many distinct advantages over the NS7iii.

BTW @XiAmFAUSTX had posted this but seemingly has disappeared "Paris Creative OK. So what features does Rane Onr have over the Numark NS7ii or iii? Granted, I think the Numark NS7ii is a more fair comparison and came out almost 10 years ago. But go ahead. Let's hear what Rane One did better that justifies a 2 channel dj controller to be the same debut price as an almost 10 year old controller." 1) There are literally two videos on this very subject. 2) The NS7ii and iii are nearly identical. The iii shed some weight, had CoreAudio compliance, and the gimmick screen. 3) There are literally two videos on this very subject. 4) Most of the controllers out there now in the $600-1200 are really not all that. $1500 is not a big ask for what it offers.

@@djlouparis Yeah I deleted it because I wasn't able to finish the review yet. Most people cover the same things but it seems you had more detail which I wanted to watch first. The Numark did come out at that price but it is also nearly 10 years old. Least my NS7ii is. I need to get a channel fader fixed and already paid to do this in the past which I feel they just cleaned it because 3 months later it started to cut out again. The internals on thr numark suck and someone from Rane assured this was easier to replace. So I bought a DDJ 1000srt and think in terms of display, this Rane is similar in ways to that. I think thr Numark loop feature is still better than Rane One or DDJ 1000srt and decided to keep my NS7ii because it serves my style of mixing better. Plus trying to learn how to scratch on static jog wheels just doesn't feel right to me or haven't adjusted yet. I suppose 2 sound cards is better than the Numark, as it lacks that despite having 4 channels which is odd to me. That's really the only big seller I see so far. I need to finish your review, but seeing something that was for thr most part good, offering a little more IMO, nearly 10 years old, doesn't justify Rame's price. Lack if 4 channels and the loop is what aggrevates me, because I wasn't looking to hold onto 2 dj controllers. The only good I like with the ddj 1000srt (and if Rane One has this) is the key sync, and possibly the ease of effects in a central location.

@@iAmFAUST the 2-channel design makes sense in the Rane lineup since the only >2 channel mixer they have is the aged MP2015. Rane is about no-nonsense two-channel battle scratching styles. 4 channels is mostly not needed. It already has two mics plus on that second mic is an RCA aux-switchable input. In many cases people that rock 4-channel mixers are using channels 3 and 4 for discrete mic routing and a secondary emergency source. There are probably not even a handful of scratch DJs out there mixing on 4 channels simultaneously. For me the biggest selling points are 1) 10 lbs lighter than my NS7iii 2) A far cleaner sounding soundcard (x2) 3) no nonsense design (I don't care for the all red/white Numark design, the capacitive knobs, or the screens) 4) a smaller footprint 5) rane design quality The only real negative as I see is the stiff non-changable channel faders. I tend to use them a lot and these are fine, but it would have been nicer to have it as a magfader. I do address some of the things that have come out post-this video in this "B-side video": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np92maaL35mbeJs.html

@@djlouparis The Numark NS7 had nonsense? I wasn't aware of that. Think of it like a car. Do you need 1200HP? No. But it is always nice to know it's there when you wish to use it. Price comparison? Nope. Rane isn't worth it to me still. Would rather just buy a Numark again or in my case, keep mine instead of selling it. That loop feature on the Numark is a big deal to me. That Rane seems like it had the same issue that my Pioneer DDJ 1000srt had with using the loop feature. I guess they feel like they can sell it because they make good mixers and Numark doesn't have anything out right now to compete as all moving platter platforms are discontinued... still though... this thing is under the NS7ii IMO, but above the NS7 (debut platform). .

Um the NS7III does not have built in effects. Like the Rane it's a control of the software. And yes the Rane is not a mirrored layout. Some of us (raising hand) prefer that. I've literally touched on a number of reasons why to upgrade. If you don't agree then fine. That is your choice.

I agree

A knock off? Are you high? LOL
