Phase is totally amazing and a no Brainer to have. It is definitely moving with technology and a must have for djs using turntables. Phase is the future!!!
I’ve been djing close to 30 years. I don’t own a set yet but after playing on 1200’s vinyl and cdj 1200’s(sl-1200dz) in clubs , house parties, etc. I can see how phase will allow you to still play on your turntables without worrying about needle or record wear . Also vibration from speakers and the person who bumps your table. It’s definitely my next purchase for my set up. Great video!!!! 💯
D j's hate. Using turntables because they cannot DJ controllers are so easy. Who wants a controller? You can mix with 2 turntables 1200s. You are a real DJ let's keep this real.
I just picked up a pair…and it’s brought me full circle realizing that the part I may have enjoyed most about djing was the 12” motorized platter. Boom.
I never thought that djing would actually become a job for me. 5 years ago, I was just goofing off in my bedroom with all this stuff and now I’m debating which turntable to get because it has become my passion!! Thanks for all of your amazing vids man!
Not many people who invest in a turntable system can keep up with the maintenance of buying needles and vinyl over time🙋♂. Especially when you're starting out and want to practice everyday. Phase was my best friend during 2020-2021! Can't believe I could just keep practicing without worrying about snapping a needle or fading my vinyl. The less we have to worry about hardware, the more freedom we have to enjoy DJing.
Now you've to worry about when your batteries will fail and you will end up with a nice and useless piece of plastic. Not to mention the time it will take to send your remote (if still in warranty) to the manufacturer and wait for return. Not to mention the issues involved in using a licensing propietary system.
Technology has literally watered down the basic art form of DJing. Balance & Touch is the beginners first basic lesson of becoming a DJ & we used a penny or nickel until we didn't need them anymore. Today's DJ wants to drive the Lamborghini without ever learning how to ride a Bicycle. I'm not knocking anyone but fancy equipment & technological advancements alone doesn't qualify someone to call themselves a DJ it just makes them a studio engineer...
Phase is rubbish. All serato gear. Sound quality is limited to the connection speed of ur laptop. Tunes sound way fatter on vinyl IMO. Cdjs are different cus it's all standalone but I'd still prefer vinyl giving the option
That's a fair assessment of it Bill, though I do believe that technology has allowed old school DJs to flourish in different aspects too. They've got the Lambo, but now it's an SV the way I see it
@@MautreXvids It's nothing complicated. With the older style turntables the tone arm would jump/skip while learning to dj, so we used to place a nickel or penny on top of the needle head as a makeshift weight until we learned to control our touch better.
I personally don’t own phase but seeing the growth they have made since release is incredible, also them sticking with the product and not just releasing a Mk2 version, seems like a great investment imo
Phase is one of the greatest inventions created for the Dj. No more worrying about skipping issues or needles going bad like Jazzy Jeff said “Game Changer”.

Wow! Phase is a total game changer. I love using my needles, but DJ Carlo is right anybody bumps your booth or jumps too hard that needle is skipping instantly. Hope I win to try them out on my new Decks. Thanks @DJ Carlo.

I had no idea Phase was the method DJs were using vinyl without the needle! I never noticed those little rectangles on the turntables! It's honestly so cool how far music technology has come in the last few years. I'm sure thirty years ago people never even thought that one day it would be possible to use vinyl without needles. I'm completely blown away that these exist. Awesome stuff!
Great video! Phase is one of the greatest inventions created for turntablist/dj. It's a “Game Changer”, you don't need to worry about any line cables, etc. I would say a must have for turntablist/dj out there.
You are my inspiration.❤ I am a 15yo Dj from Sydney, Australia and has the same problems with needles on vinyl when I’m djing at gigs. It be really appreciated for my big gig at the end of the year🙏🏼❤
First of all, thank you DJ Carlo for every videos that you made with all your efforts to help DJs! (including me). You are amazing! Truly inspirational, and a really cool dude!

@@PhaseDJ That was amazing! You guys literally helped and solved the problems of tablist DJs for sure! Definitely a game changer! More power to you guys! Again, congratulations to your successful product!👏
I always thought Phase was a crazy and innovative tool and I’ve always wanted to try it but I heard when it first came out it had trouble. Seeing it now I feel like every turntablist that doesn’t have Rane 12s has a Phase
🎶😎🫡🎧 A great tool to use … I appreciate the video and last nite when my needle broke on my turntable I stared looking at the phase equipment and it’s a game changer and after my research I came across you video … Thanks again
Thanks for this video man. Didn't know you could connect wireless now. All my mixes on my channel I've been using needles and once I used the Phase. I've been back and forth if I want to use it. I enjoy the challenge of needles but I know when I'm playing in a loud setting I wouldn't have to worry about that needle going off of the record. It definitely took some getting used to because I normally use the drive (silver piece in the middle) to speed up my song and with the Phase you can't real touch it. But I will definitely be open about getting one. Thanks again and I entered the contest too!
I get you Julz! That center spindle is off limits with Phase, so you've gotta ride the beat with the tempo fader a little more, but hey, it definitely helps balance things out!
Thanks Phase DJ and DJ Carlo for the competition. I've just enetered and these would be a welcome addition to my SL-MK3D's. Thanks and good luck everyone!
Carlo, thanks so much for this awesome review of Phase! You've been supporting our product since day one and saw every step of how it has been evolving. And thanks to the honest reviews from guys like you and the community, Phase has become what it is today. So thanks once again! 🙏
Thank you as well for the continued innovation in the industry and support y'all! You guys are truly groundbreaking and exceptional. Can't wait to see what else the team has hidden up their sleeves. Cheers you guys! 🥳
I do not know if this video is sponsored or not but for me the phase DVS system is the best for any situation considering that a pair of ortofon cost much more than the phase ! The only difference is that a dj that use real vinyl feel the sound with the hand ! The combination of loops and hot cues makes the DVS the future of old school djing . Thank you carlo .
I currently have a Denon system which I love, but I also have my old turntables that I would love to use again, but to be honest I am over having to purchase needles all the time. Thanks for the video, I have been thinking about Phase for a while now. Thanks for the videos and all the advice.
Thanks for all of your videos. Im a dj that use dvs with needles and the struggle is real specially with dust. Thanks for the review of this amazing product!!
Quick Question: I want to ask if the giveaway is still going on or has it been finished a month or two after this video was uploaded.....Just asking...
@@djcarlo That's fine. I wanted to confirm, but then I realized you mentioned when the contest would last, so my question was answered in this video, but I forgot to edit the comment and go back to mention the fix....
I practice scratching a lot at home using DVS, and I'm beginning to see why Phase would be better in the long run. I still like vinyl, but at least with Phase, I can preserve the life of my needles by limiting the use of them for true vinyl sets (as opposed to burning up my needles on DVS).
I've had confusions regarding phase working and technicality. by watching your videos all questions are answered automatically thanks you for all these great explanatory videos.
I bought this after watching this video, and for the life of me, I cannot get it to work with Serato Dj Pro... Do I have to get a subscription to use the HID function, as I cannot see the settings to select the decks with the Phase on??? I read that I needed to select "Sel", but I cannot see that??? Any help would be appreciated.
@@djcarlo Yes... I am using a Mixar Primo. That connects to my MacBook and the Phase connects to my MacBook. Do I have to subscribe to serato to get the HID function running... It's very confusing working stuff out with the Serato software and addons
I currently have Phase and love it but need a second unit to replace my current one, As my right-side phase, the remote is always dying faster (battery life) than the other one. They will be equally charged but the right side always dies twice as fast.
@@djcarlo Thank you Brother, Hopefully, if I get another one in the future I will not have this problem. Also, thanks for all your videos it really says a lot when you are near the top or at the top, you still find the time to teach us. Once again. Thank you!
Best investment I could have made in years. I always tell my friends who still struggle with Phase, if you're playing digital music this is the best way to go. Leave your needles for your records. Big Ups from Brazil!
I got one of the early ones with the faulty battery, and I tried to return it under warranty and it... didn't go smoothly. Other than the poor battery (which they've apparently sorted out now), they are fantastic
Yeah, some of us early adapters got the short end of the stick (like all tech), but hey, they still work pretty great for me, and now, the new ones REALLY last a while! Glad you're enjoying Phase as much as I am Brian!
I've stopped using vinyle after way too many "accidents" leaving records scratched because of a bump in the table but I've been looking at phase for quite some time and might give it a go, I love controllers but the feeling isn't the same
I just bought phase and It’s a game changer i use it with VDJ via RCA man its the way to go for DVS kept me away from buying controllers and still using my PLX1000 and S9!
I just bought my first turntable and a few vinyls but i have trouble with the needle adjustment because whenever i scartch the records more dynamically it skips back so whenever i can afford i will go for the phases
There's usually a way to solve that via balancing the tonearm. Or it could be that your needle isn't meant for scratchwork. In any case, Phase does help out with that!
In my institute we have a teacher who uses a device like this (very similar, I don't know if it's the same brand), but he doesn't teach in my class, and he still hasn't taught us how it works, we did go to a session of it and I saw it running but that's it. I would love to have one like this so I can try it out on vinyl and to be able to take it to class so that we can use it with the equipment that we have in the institute. And learning to use it correctly. Since we are studying an Intermediate Degree in which a part is focused on the world of Deejing It makes me very curious and I would really like to have one and see how it works.
That's awesome Rex! I'm pretty happy to hear you've got an institute that teaches DJing. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed, and good luck with the contest!
I've was dying to try it when it first came out. But the feedback wasn't super awesome from the DJs I knew. Glad to see they have improved. My excitement is back! Thanks!
Phase is very easy for a DJ like me who plays in different locations and never knows what the condition of the DJ gear is. As long as the platters of the turntables can spin and you have a decent mixer, you can play a DJ set.
Hey man, great videos and channel! Im like 8 years fulltime dj in Prague, have phase like 3 years now, i was one of thouse who pick the first here in Czech, i had some troubles on start, but with updates its got better and almost perfect, just like you say in video. My gigs and sets got to me to new lvl with this device. And now this with stems? My dreams will come true :D Peace to all djs and music lovers!
Carlo I love phase and work with RB, but my big problem is the fluctuating BPM, for example when the table is not level. Can RB finally do something? 🙏
this is very annoying, serato doesn't have such problems with "anti drift". Perhaps you can suggest to Pioneer RB that RB consider such an update in the future. Thanks you 🙏
I’ve had phase for about 7 months and I love it. It has taken a second to get my father onto the phase wave because he’s a true old school dj and doesn’t even like using anything having to do with digital but I’ve finally got him onto it lol. The only problem I have is because of the style of beatmatching that I do. I can’t use the spindle to slow down the song but it’s made me able now to match by nudging the sides
Awesome! Always a fan of you DJ Carlo and absolute fan of Phase technology ever since. This will definitely revive my old turntables since all its arms and needles are broken. huhuhu
I learned and started my Dj path using vinyl 27 years ago. This is where I learned to use the pitch control all the time to adjust the bpm. Then, started using CDJ100 with CDs, then eventually USB then controller. But the feel of vinyl is still the best. When I heard about Phase in 2019, i knew it was going to be a game changer cause it will eliminate all the problems you just pointed out on your video. Been saving for it ever since. When I see my dj friends in Manila use Phase, i get so jealous. Hahaha. I will get mine soon. Positive thinking 😂
I have been using cdjs for a long time turntables have been a nightmare but with the introduction of phase there is nothing i want but boost my experience as a dj and turntable list
Hey, been a vinyl DJ since the 90's and only just upgraded to a pioneer serato mixer which has blown me away with DVS control, it is gonna save my classic vinyl getting more of a hammering which I'm stoked with but now the goalposts have been moved again and now you tell me I can save hammering my expensive needles too. Yes. Count Me In!... I love the idea behind all this and hope it replicates as well as DVS. I can't get my head around the digital aspect and how it works coming from analog but....amazing stuff! Can't wait to try them out and PHASE up my gear!
Fantastic way to get a turntable handling without consuming needles and have instability problems. Benn Jordan's video on vinyl toxicity convinced me to start saving for a controller, but Phase gives a second life to my turntables.
I love Phase as I got them just after it came out and I use them on my Technics 1210 mk II Which I purchased new in 1988. The Phase is like having a brand new controller built into my 1988 gear "BIG UP PHASE"
lets goooo! i like the new update. I been wanting to bring my turntables back but those needles are expensive still and not going to lie my Rane One has been doing the work but would like to for sure experience phase for the first time. And are you kidding me no RCA!!!?? please let me win this lol
Phase looks great! Currently shopping for tables, but hadn't decided whether I'd go vinyl, control vinyl, or something like phase. But I just met all the giveaway contest requirements, so maybe that will make the decision easier! Here's to me!
Great job DJ Carlo. I am a subscribed member, i have liked the video, downloaded the brochure, and would love to get a hold of the Phase. I learned how to scratch with your training video i ordered. Currently trying to upgrade my gear to turntable. Phase will be an excellent choice over the needle any day.
Been using shure m447 for a long time. Fortunately I had them stacked for backups. I'm down to my last back pair. This would be a good time to try something new.
Hey Dj Carlo thanks as always ! wanted to know with the phase if i can use it with the rane 12 mk2 and rane 72 mk2 with rekordbox , or if there is anyway to use the rane equipment i have with rekordbox... i dont like using serato so far the fact that rekordbox is way smoother when it comes to organising music database
I don't think it's supposed to work with the Rane 12s, since they're already digitized by all means. If you need to put a control vinyl on it, then that's what should work with the Phase remotes
Long-time DJ here. Still use vinyl but mostly in the studio. My DJ Friends bought and used phase when they came out but ditched them in the end due to glitches. I've used my own 1200s, vinyl, in the clubs, and on the road for decades. Your examples of hating turntables are way extreme. If that were the case, clubs, DJs and nightlife wouldn't exist over the past 40+ years. I'm using controllers on the road nowadays. Good job on the video. A bit way extreme but point is taken. After seeing your video, I am considering getting them for my 1200s. Thanks!
Ngl, I wasn't sure where the comment was going at first! Hahaha, but for real, I don't hate turntables. Most venues (at least in The PH) nowadays aren't engineered for turntable use anymore unfortunately, so bouncy needles ARE a thing haha. Glad you enjoyed the video buddy, and yeah, Phase has waaaay improved since they were launched. And they're saving me a bunch on broken needles too!
I can't play a gig without Phase anymore. Best investment in years! I even played with Phase at one of the biggest silent parties in Europe (with over 500 wireless headphones), without any problems.
Ohhhhh, it's scary to use turntables at weddings simply because of the crowd. You never know what could happen! Phase will definitely help out in that department
I've been looking into Phase for a while now. Building a DVS setup and though I have good turntables, they have not so good needles. I'll likely pick up a set soon.
I use turntables still to this day. My homie Mathew Kirkwood, at MK Stands has a great product. MK Stands Pro DJ Isolation system, works flawlessly to get rid of skipping due to vibrations. Played a massive festival with PK sound... had zero issues.
Bingo Seba! Your latter point is something a lot of critics seem to miss out on. Legit one of the reasons why DVS in itself is such a modern miracle for me!
I've been facinated by this product as an older DJ who started on vinyl but afraid to pull th trigger on buying it. Maybe it's finally time. Appreciate your videos, Carlo.
I love my Phase units, but sadly because it uses a 2.4Ghz radio frequecy (or something like that) I have drift that I can't really get rid of from my enviroment, even with Serato integration. Just kind of have to deal with it but a little bit of a peeve of mine right now.
I started off on turntables back in 1992 because that's the only option. There were no CDJs, no computers with MIDI controls. Over time, I got into CDs and then digital and never looked back. Outside of the problems shown here in this video, there was also the issue that for a while, I would show up to events and their turntables would be broken, malfunctioning, or just messed up. It becomes disconcerting when you're going to play and the club's equipment is broken. After a while, you just started to not see the turntables around any more. I also would notice if those turntables are broken or faulty, and you're trying to use time code vinyl, it becomes sketchy and problematic. What I love about a MIDI control is that I can walk in, hook it up quickly, play, and I don't have to worry about if the club's equipment is solid or not. We can all say that a club should have proper equipment, but reality shows more times than not that it's never the case. I've heard the death about the touch of vinyl, the warmth, comment, etc, but to be honest, I love the music more than I love the medium. I think now turntables are more a niche thing if you want to do it. However, the days of turntables being the standard are far over.
Brutally honest, but it's indeed the truth Alex. Time marches on, and so does technology. I'm just glad some tech (like Phase) allows some of us to still keep the old ways alive in some form or fashion.
As a Bedroom DJ and hobbist. I started my set up with Turntables but I have been looking for an opportunity to try out Phase. I am tired of using my needles as sometimes they skip or I get feedback from dust. I hope that I am not to late to enter the giveaway.
I'm thinking of purchasing this but 1 thing come's to my mind: what about when the PHASE rechargable batteries don't charge any longer after several year's of use? Are the batteries replacecable or would I need to buy another pair of controllers? I really don't want to buy disposable controllers for over 400 dollars. If this is the case, PHASE should give djays this option, especially for what they charge.

Perfect timing hahaha, but this will honestly help you out with that! I've had needles break on me at the worst times.
Ortofon : I'm the best of needle
Phase: Uh huh
Hahahaha, well in all fairness, if you want to play an actual vinyl record, Ortofon will have you covered
@@djcarlo Ur right!!
@@a1s2d36831146 Phase: Im the best in Wireless !!!!
Other brands : .......
DJs: (both hands in favor)
#1 reason turntables suck is because I don’t know how to use them.
I pretend there’s other reasons but that’s the real reason.
Lol, this was a good one!
Thanks for this video man. Didn't know you could connect wireless now. All my mixes on my channel I've been using needles and once I used the Phase. I've been back and forth if I want to use it. I enjoy the challenge of needles but I know when I'm playing in a loud setting I wouldn't have to worry about that needle going off of the record. It definitely took some getting used to because I normally use the drive (silver piece in the middle) to speed up my song and with the Phase you can't real touch it. But I will definitely be open about getting one. Thanks again and I entered the contest too!
I get you Julz! That center spindle is off limits with Phase, so you've gotta ride the beat with the tempo fader a little more, but hey, it definitely helps balance things out!
Thanks Phase DJ and DJ Carlo for the competition. I've just enetered and these would be a welcome addition to my SL-MK3D's. Thanks and good luck everyone!
Good luck with the contest buddy!
@@djcarlo thanks mate
Carlo, thanks so much for this awesome review of Phase! You've been supporting our product since day one and saw every step of how it has been evolving. And thanks to the honest reviews from guys like you and the community, Phase has become what it is today.
So thanks once again! 🙏
Thank you as well for the continued innovation in the industry and support y'all! You guys are truly groundbreaking and exceptional. Can't wait to see what else the team has hidden up their sleeves. Cheers you guys! 🥳
Wow beautiful words there phase!!! Well done!!! This comment is everything! Top class
Been eying the Phase for a while, so happy that you're video turned up on my feed!
Manifesting right there Jóhann! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The "Ay P*ta" killed me 😂😂😂
Lol, you can't take the Pinoy out of me
I do not know if this video is sponsored or not but for me the phase DVS system is the best for any situation considering that a pair of ortofon cost much more than the phase ! The only difference is that a dj that use real vinyl feel the sound with the hand ! The combination of loops and hot cues makes the DVS the future of old school djing .
Thank you carlo .
For sure! Just telling it like it is for the tech!
Phase has come a long way in a short time. Definitely way better than needless. Thank you Carlos.
A very long way JR! They've never stopped upgrading!
I currently have a Denon system which I love, but I also have my old turntables that I would love to use again, but to be honest I am over having to purchase needles all the time. Thanks for the video, I have been thinking about Phase for a while now. Thanks for the videos and all the advice.
For sure Darkfin! Really glad the video got you at the right time!
Are motorized controllers or turntables better?
I still prefer the full size of turntables, but controllers have an insane advantage when it comes to manipulating the music
I always love your video. I am glad the phase is now much much better than ever..
Much MUCH better NerfE! They really changed the game with their product!
Thanks for all of your videos. Im a dj that use dvs with needles and the struggle is real specially with dust. Thanks for the review of this amazing product!!
Oh heck yeah. Just having all that dust gather out of nowhere is still a struggle, no matter how clean your environment is!
Quick Question: I want to ask if the giveaway is still going on or has it been finished a month or two after this video was uploaded.....Just asking...
It's loooong done. This video was uploaded a few years back. Sorry!
@@djcarlo That's fine. I wanted to confirm, but then I realized you mentioned when the contest would last, so my question was answered in this video, but I forgot to edit the comment and go back to mention the fix....
I practice scratching a lot at home using DVS, and I'm beginning to see why Phase would be better in the long run. I still like vinyl, but at least with Phase, I can preserve the life of my needles by limiting the use of them for true vinyl sets (as opposed to burning up my needles on DVS).
Exactly! Save those precious needles; they're getting harder to find as the days go by
I've had confusions regarding phase working and technicality. by watching your videos all questions are answered automatically thanks you for all these great explanatory videos.
I'm glad I helped answer your questions about Phase Nadeem! Still marvels me to be honest
I bought this after watching this video, and for the life of me, I cannot get it to work with Serato Dj Pro... Do I have to get a subscription to use the HID function, as I cannot see the settings to select the decks with the Phase on??? I read that I needed to select "Sel", but I cannot see that???
Any help would be appreciated.
Hmmm, have you tried plugging in the receiver to the laptop?
@@djcarlo Yes... I am using a Mixar Primo. That connects to my MacBook and the Phase connects to my MacBook. Do I have to subscribe to serato to get the HID function running... It's very confusing working stuff out with the Serato software and addons
@@lespaul3717probably
I currently have Phase and love it but need a second unit to replace my current one, As my right-side phase, the remote is always dying faster (battery life) than the other one. They will be equally charged but the right side always dies twice as fast.
Ohhh, interesting! I've heard of this little issue as well for the earlier models; really strange one if you ask me!
@@djcarlo Thank you Brother, Hopefully, if I get another one in the future I will not have this problem. Also, thanks for all your videos it really says a lot when you are near the top or at the top, you still find the time to teach us. Once again. Thank you!
Best investment I could have made in years. I always tell my friends who still struggle with Phase, if you're playing digital music this is the best way to go. Leave your needles for your records. Big Ups from Brazil!
Exactly Nattus! Phase can play your timecodes, so really, save your needles for the vinyl that actually needs them.
I got one of the early ones with the faulty battery, and I tried to return it under warranty and it... didn't go smoothly. Other than the poor battery (which they've apparently sorted out now), they are fantastic
Yeah, some of us early adapters got the short end of the stick (like all tech), but hey, they still work pretty great for me, and now, the new ones REALLY last a while! Glad you're enjoying Phase as much as I am Brian!
I've stopped using vinyle after way too many "accidents" leaving records scratched because of a bump in the table but I've been looking at phase for quite some time and might give it a go, I love controllers but the feeling isn't the same
They aren't Enzo haha, the platter size is what really gets me with controllers. Give Phase a shot; believe me, you'll enjoy 'em!
I just bought phase and It’s a game changer i use it with VDJ via RCA man its the way to go for DVS kept me away from buying controllers and still using my PLX1000 and S9!
Amazing! I'm so glad you love using Phase. Really good stuff there!
I just bought my first turntable and a few vinyls but i have trouble with the needle adjustment because whenever i scartch the records more dynamically it skips back so whenever i can afford i will go for the phases
There's usually a way to solve that via balancing the tonearm. Or it could be that your needle isn't meant for scratchwork. In any case, Phase does help out with that!
once in a while my phase goes into internal mode I just unplug it n plug it back in, the music still playing like nothing happen
I feel like that's a strange glitch. I've had it happen once or twice
In my institute we have a teacher who uses a device like this (very similar, I don't know if it's the same brand), but he doesn't teach in my class, and he still hasn't taught us how it works, we did go to a session of it and I saw it running but that's it.
I would love to have one like this so I can try it out on vinyl and to be able to take it to class so that we can use it with the equipment that we have in the institute. And learning to use it correctly. Since we are studying an Intermediate Degree in which a part is focused on the world of Deejing
It makes me very curious and I would really like to have one and see how it works.
That's awesome Rex! I'm pretty happy to hear you've got an institute that teaches DJing. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed, and good luck with the contest!
I've was dying to try it when it first came out. But the feedback wasn't super awesome from the DJs I knew. Glad to see they have improved. My excitement is back! Thanks!
Yup! Massive improvement with the help feedback and community there. Can't wait to see what else they have in store!
Phase is very easy for a DJ like me who plays in different locations and never knows what the condition of the DJ gear is. As long as the platters of the turntables can spin and you have a decent mixer, you can play a DJ set.
That's true Kilian! Honestly becomes such a life saver in crazy environments
Sounds awesome, are there any mixers it works best with?
Not really! They work well with pretty much any set of turntables
Great video as always, this may make me go back to the 1200s!
Phase prduct looks insanely good 👍
Are you using it when out on gigs?
Whenever the venue has turntables, yes!
Been wanting Phase since I first saw someone using it. Thank you for giving it more attention!
For sure Klozure! It was about time I reviewed Phase!
I currently have a rane one but I’ve been keeping an eye on phase for when I do move to turntables.
Ohhhh, the Rane One is already a great machine to have! Can't wait for you to try your hand at turntables with Phase!
Hey man, great videos and channel! Im like 8 years fulltime dj in Prague, have phase like 3 years now, i was one of thouse who pick the first here in Czech, i had some troubles on start, but with updates its got better and almost perfect, just like you say in video. My gigs and sets got to me to new lvl with this device. And now this with stems? My dreams will come true :D
Peace to all djs and music lovers!
That's great Martin! So you've also seen the rise of Phase from the very start. Amazing work they've done to keep improving the product!
Carlo I love phase and work with RB, but my big problem is the fluctuating BPM, for example when the table is not level.
Can RB finally do something? 🙏
That's something you may wanna take up with RB. Though I'll say that you really should level your table before really setting up turntables on them!
this is very annoying, serato doesn't have such problems with "anti drift".
Perhaps you can suggest to Pioneer RB that RB consider such an update in the future.
Thanks you 🙏
Thanks for putting out such great content! Phase is something I've been super interested in and would love to get my hands on. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ryan! It's a lovely piece of technology, and it's totally worth it!
Thanks Ryan! It's a lovely piece of technology, and it's totally worth it!
I’ve had phase for about 7 months and I love it. It has taken a second to get my father onto the phase wave because he’s a true old school dj and doesn’t even like using anything having to do with digital but I’ve finally got him onto it lol. The only problem I have is because of the style of beatmatching that I do. I can’t use the spindle to slow down the song but it’s made me able now to match by nudging the sides
I've read some DJs have the same problem, but in the opposite direction; they can't speed things up slightly without the spindle.
Would they work on a portable turntable like the Numark PT1 or the Reloop Spin?
Yes they will! Hope you give them a shot!
I was totally thinking about adding those to my equipment.
Doooooope!!!!
Awesome! Always a fan of you DJ Carlo and absolute fan of Phase technology ever since. This will definitely revive my old turntables since all its arms and needles are broken. huhuhu
Oh dang, what happened to the tone arms?
@@djcarlo accidentally squeezed when it was stored since it didn't have dust covers. Good (or Bad) thing is.. it's still spinning.
I learned and started my Dj path using vinyl 27 years ago. This is where I learned to use the pitch control all the time to adjust the bpm. Then, started using CDJ100 with CDs, then eventually USB then controller. But the feel of vinyl is still the best. When I heard about Phase in 2019, i knew it was going to be a game changer cause it will eliminate all the problems you just pointed out on your video. Been saving for it ever since. When I see my dj friends in Manila use Phase, i get so jealous. Hahaha. I will get mine soon. Positive thinking 😂
Soon Ger! Positive thinking is absolutely what you need (along with a little discipline for savings haha)
I have been using cdjs for a long time turntables have been a nightmare but with the introduction of phase there is nothing i want but boost my experience as a dj and turntable list
It's worth it JIH! Once you work your magic on turntables, there's no stopping you with the gear!
Can wait to try this if I win. I’ve joined your TH-cam and have also purchased some of your scratching video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks O! But the contest ended a few weeks back. Thanks for joining though!
Just bought 2 more of your courses. Keep up the good work
Can't wait strating using Phase. Thank you for this video!
Can't wait for you to start using Phase too Alon! Excited for you!
Love all your videos. What turntable do y’all recommend for a beginner to use with Phase?
A pair of Technics 1200s always does the trick, especially if you're still on a budget.
Hey, been a vinyl DJ since the 90's and only just upgraded to a pioneer serato mixer which has blown me away with DVS control, it is gonna save my classic vinyl getting more of a hammering which I'm stoked with but now the goalposts have been moved again and now you tell me I can save hammering my expensive needles too. Yes.
Count Me In!... I love the idea behind all this and hope it replicates as well as DVS.
I can't get my head around the digital aspect and how it works coming from analog but....amazing stuff!
Can't wait to try them out and PHASE up my gear!
Right Ben? Save the wax and the stylii for special occasions; these guys will help making the best of your DVS
I’m a beginner, DJ use Pioneer DDJ 400 but enjoyed this video🤘🏾👍🏾👏🏾
I'm glad you still did Walker! Maybe it'll be time to try out turntables soon!
@@djcarlo No way lol
Hey dj carlo! Are the phase giveaways still available? Or are the winners already settled?
Not yet! I'll be sending out the emails in a couple of weeks, so the cards are all still on the table!
@@djcarlo great! Im anticipating it!!!!! 😀
Fantastic way to get a turntable handling without consuming needles and have instability problems. Benn Jordan's video on vinyl toxicity convinced me to start saving for a controller, but Phase gives a second life to my turntables.
That's definitely a video I'm gonna check out Guiseppe. And I'm happy these guys breathed some life into your turntables again!
@@djcarlo Not bought yet, but gonna save for them! Thanks for your video.
I love Phase as I got them just after it came out and I use them on my Technics 1210 mk II Which I purchased new in 1988. The Phase is like having a brand new controller built into my 1988 gear "BIG UP PHASE"
Absolute big ups to Phase Zorro!! Truly amazing technology!
lets goooo! i like the new update. I been wanting to bring my turntables back but those needles are expensive still and not going to lie my Rane One has been doing the work but would like to for sure experience phase for the first time. And are you kidding me no RCA!!!?? please let me win this lol
haha yeah Serato x Phase is a game changer! That Rane One will serve you well for sure, but if you ever decide to upgrade, Phase is here!
Phase looks great! Currently shopping for tables, but hadn't decided whether I'd go vinyl, control vinyl, or something like phase. But I just met all the giveaway contest requirements, so maybe that will make the decision easier! Here's to me!
Hahahaha, I see what you did there Michael. It's definitely something worth picking up though! And good luck on the contest! 😄
I’m using dvs for my bedroom setup I’m curious how Phase will work and will help me to improve my skills
It will save you a lot in needle replacements, I'll tell you that!
Great job DJ Carlo. I am a subscribed member, i have liked the video, downloaded the brochure, and would love to get a hold of the Phase. I learned how to scratch with your training video i ordered. Currently trying to upgrade my gear to turntable. Phase will be an excellent choice over the needle any day.
Indeed, Phase is an excellent addition to anyone's DJ gear roster! For now, good luck on the contest!
Been using shure m447 for a long time. Fortunately I had them stacked for backups. I'm down to my last back pair. This would be a good time to try something new.
Lucky you! Hahaha, but man, believe me when I say Phase will change your life there
In the process of updating my DJ gear, just learning about Phase. The tech is very impressive.
It's something everyone with a turntable and DVS set up needs nowadays!
Thanks for the Video, I've been using my Phase since 2019, just love it!!
Dang, you're an early adapter Victor! Glad you're still rockin' em!
I absolutely love mixing on vinyl. I will never give up vinyl even though I do have a CDJ. I will never get rid of my techniques 1200s
Please don't! The 1200s are the absolute standard of the turntable world!
Hey Dj Carlo thanks as always ! wanted to know with the phase if i can use it with the rane 12 mk2 and rane 72 mk2 with rekordbox , or if there is anyway to use the rane equipment i have with rekordbox... i dont like using serato so far the fact that rekordbox is way smoother when it comes to organising music database
I don't think it's supposed to work with the Rane 12s, since they're already digitized by all means. If you need to put a control vinyl on it, then that's what should work with the Phase remotes
Phase it can be use on audio technica turntables?
Yup! They can work on essentially any turntable setup :)
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Already subscribed and downloaded the brochure. 🎉
Thanks for joining! Hopefully you'll win!
One of my phase remotes does not turn on anymore. ☹️ any suggestions?
Oh man! You may need to reach out to Phase. They should be able to help you handle that issue!
Been watching Phase with intrigue for some time, love this review and it truly seems to be mature yet evolving. Fingers crossed for the competition 🤞
It's always evolving! That's the beauty of having wireless updates; there's always something new just around the corner Rob!
Long-time DJ here. Still use vinyl but mostly in the studio. My DJ Friends bought and used phase when they came out but ditched them in the end due to glitches.
I've used my own 1200s, vinyl, in the clubs, and on the road for decades. Your examples of hating turntables are way extreme. If that were the case, clubs, DJs and nightlife wouldn't exist over the past 40+ years. I'm using controllers on the road nowadays. Good job on the video. A bit way extreme but point is taken. After seeing your video, I am considering getting them for my 1200s. Thanks!
Ngl, I wasn't sure where the comment was going at first! Hahaha, but for real, I don't hate turntables. Most venues (at least in The PH) nowadays aren't engineered for turntable use anymore unfortunately, so bouncy needles ARE a thing haha. Glad you enjoyed the video buddy, and yeah, Phase has waaaay improved since they were launched. And they're saving me a bunch on broken needles too!
I can't play a gig without Phase anymore. Best investment in years! I even played with Phase at one of the biggest silent parties in Europe (with over 500 wireless headphones), without any problems.
Man, I really wanna go to a silent disco one of these days! I've only heard of one in The Philippines, and I missed it!
Does phase work with a Serato sl1 and a analog mixer using serato scratch software?
I don't think it works with Serato Scratch Live (that's been long discontinued), but it works wonders with Serato DJ Pro
What were you doing with that bottle of lotion at 4:04?
.....moisturizing my hands.
@@djcarlo lol ok, i was just curious. Salamat 😁
Definitely wanted to try using phase. I’ve used turntables a couple of times at weddings with needles but was always worried about issues and upkeep
Ohhhhh, it's scary to use turntables at weddings simply because of the crowd. You never know what could happen! Phase will definitely help out in that department
I've been looking into Phase for a while now. Building a DVS setup and though I have good turntables, they have not so good needles. I'll likely pick up a set soon.
I'd highly recommend doing that Max! Just so you get the full audio experience
I have a controller but I still have my turntables and would like to have Something like a Phase unit to keep using them. Thank you
They're worth having so you can have the best of both worlds Kenneth!
I use turntables still to this day. My homie Mathew Kirkwood, at MK Stands has a great product. MK Stands Pro DJ Isolation system, works flawlessly to get rid of skipping due to vibrations. Played a massive festival with PK sound... had zero issues.
That's awesome! I think I've seen some MK stands before, and they're really great for balancing!
@@djcarlo thanks for the reply, have a great day Carlo.
Started my dj journey djaying with a ddj1000srt but I’m buying used 1200s real soon! Would def love to have phase!
I highly recommend them Tarrant! Pick up a pair when you can!
Yesssir appreciate you brotha! 💯🤝
Thanks DJ Carlo - been wanting to try out Phase. Keep it up.
They're worth trying out Jano! Believe me, nothing but good times with these babies.
Phase helped me bring my 30 year old hamd me down 1210s out of storage and bypass an issue in the sound quality between the 2 decks..Love the product.
I'm glad they helped out in that department! I'm assuming you had a grounding problem? (Because I've had that haha)
It looks good. I would finally end my problem with dust on the needle. Plus, I could use technics to play tracks that didn't come out on vinyl.
Bingo Seba! Your latter point is something a lot of critics seem to miss out on. Legit one of the reasons why DVS in itself is such a modern miracle for me!
I've been facinated by this product as an older DJ who started on vinyl but afraid to pull th trigger on buying it. Maybe it's finally time. Appreciate your videos, Carlo.
It just might be Christopher! They're worth it, especially for saving stylii
I love my Phase units, but sadly because it uses a 2.4Ghz radio frequecy (or something like that) I have drift that I can't really get rid of from my enviroment, even with Serato integration. Just kind of have to deal with it but a little bit of a peeve of mine right now.
dang! Maybe they will fix that in a future update!
Hopefully! But something like my problem may end up needing a hardware update
Turn off anti drift and it should help
@@UONeal My anti drift has always been off. It's not that sadly.
These are some cool devices! Back in the day with turntables I always had to put some foam underneath the deck case to avoid rumble.
It's a legit issue Peter! Even with the perfect set up, you never know what *could* happen!
I started off on turntables back in 1992 because that's the only option. There were no CDJs, no computers with MIDI controls. Over time, I got into CDs and then digital and never looked back.
Outside of the problems shown here in this video, there was also the issue that for a while, I would show up to events and their turntables would be broken, malfunctioning, or just messed up. It becomes disconcerting when you're going to play and the club's equipment is broken.
After a while, you just started to not see the turntables around any more. I also would notice if those turntables are broken or faulty, and you're trying to use time code vinyl, it becomes sketchy and problematic.
What I love about a MIDI control is that I can walk in, hook it up quickly, play, and I don't have to worry about if the club's equipment is solid or not. We can all say that a club should have proper equipment, but reality shows more times than not that it's never the case.
I've heard the death about the touch of vinyl, the warmth, comment, etc, but to be honest, I love the music more than I love the medium. I think now turntables are more a niche thing if you want to do it. However, the days of turntables being the standard are far over.
Brutally honest, but it's indeed the truth Alex. Time marches on, and so does technology. I'm just glad some tech (like Phase) allows some of us to still keep the old ways alive in some form or fashion.
As a Bedroom DJ and hobbist. I started my set up with Turntables but I have been looking for an opportunity to try out Phase. I am tired of using my needles as sometimes they skip or I get feedback from dust. I hope that I am not to late to enter the giveaway.
Ahhh, the needle dust. Always a problem for me in certain environments. For now, good luck on the contest Nicholas!
I'm thinking of purchasing this but 1 thing come's to my mind: what about when the PHASE rechargable batteries don't charge any longer after several year's of use? Are the batteries replacecable or would I need to buy another pair of controllers? I really don't want to buy disposable controllers for over 400 dollars. If this is the case, PHASE should give djays this option, especially for what they charge.
From what I recall, they've got a replacement service for dead or dying remotes! You'll just need to get in touch with them
